Coffee & Goodness: Ft. Collins Food Co-Op

We’ve talked about coffee brewing methods here before (please refer to this and this). Various brew methods result in various delicious results. It’s a fun time.

Back in September we thought, “We want to host coffee tastings.” Then we thought, “These tastings need to be about more than coffee.” One last thought occured, “The tastings should benefit people doing good things.”

And so those thoughts formed one larger thought that was acted on and out came Coffee & Goodness. It is an afternoon of coffee exploration to benefit good things. The upcoming Coffee & Goodness (Saturday March 6) will benefit the Fort Collins Food Co-Op. We will be exploring a coffee from Ethiopia: Amaro Gayo Sun-Dried. It will be explored 4 different ways:

  • Hario V60 Drip
  • Clever Coffee Dripper
  • French Press
  • Espresso

The doors are open from 2-5 pm. Come by any time during those hours and receive 6 oz. samples of Hario, Clever, and French Press and a double shot of the espresso. You can tell us things, we can tell you things, we can exlpore the flavor wheel, we can draw pictures…all for just $7.

PLUS, our good friends at Novo Coffee have generously and graciously and lovingly donated all the beans, so nearly all of that $7 will go directly to the FC Food Co-Op. Prolific!

See you then.

Novo Coffee Gets Some Bon Apetit Love

This is fun.

When I think Bon Apetit magazine, my mind immediately goes to summer evenings spent watching Next Food Network Star. What I do not think is boutique coffee shops. That, apparently, has changed.

At Everyday Joe’s, we proudly and with great care serve the beans of Novo Coffee. They are good people and we love them. Apparently, Bon Apetit does as well…at least that’s what I’d surmise from Novo being bestowed a Top 10 Boutique Coffee Shop:

Found at three retail locations and many top restaurants, this Denver roaster’s product makes it easier for java junkies to buy local.

That right there is the truth, and part of the reason we switched to the roaster. Read the rest of the Bon Apetit article and then come have some coffee…because we love you too.
