Appendix E-J

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.

Coffee is a spectacular thing. Much more spectacular than most folks give it credit for. We know the spectacularness of wine. The spectacularness of beer. The spectacularness of food. Coffee is just as spectacular. So are people doing good things.

Everyday Joe’s is very excited to introduce Coffee & Goodness. Every few months, we will host an afternoon of coffee education to benefit good things. The first of these afternoons is on September 12 and will benefit the efforts of International Teams: Greece (and an Everyday Joe’s volunteer Wendy Thompson ).

You can come in for free and learn about Wendy’s efforts, but the cost to educate your coffee palette concerning coffee is $7. We will “host” one bean for the afternoon (thinking a Guatemalan for this go round) and brew it for you 4 different ways. All profits will go to Wendy & her efforts. Your seven bones will get you:

• 6 oz. cup brewed via Hario Ceramic Drip
• 6 oz. cup brewed via Chemex
• 6 oz. cup brewed via French Press
• single origin espresso

We will have volunteers at each station, telling you what tasting notes to look for and what makes the brewing method special/delicious. Wendy will also be working the room with her smiling face and knowledge of her efforts working with refugees in Greece.

We hope to see you on September 12. If you are interested in being the beneficiary of an afternoon of Coffee & Goodness, just let us know and we’ll chat it up.

Welcome to the part where you get rewarded for paying attention.

There have been swirlings of ideas around here for the past while concerning offering certain coffees by the cup. Why? Because different coffees taste different and we think you deserve to taste that.

While the full launch of the program is still a little while off (a very little while), we are giving you, our social media contingency, a special preview. Just bring the coupon below into Everyday Joe’s and we will make you your choice of coffee (our bean of the week or the Intelligentsia House Blend) via a ceramic Hario dripper. It is so delicious, people. Light bodied and sweet. It has garnered comments like:

“Over the years, we have experimented with many different methods for brewing single cups of coffee, and the Hario Ceramic Dripper produces the best coffee, by a wide margin. We are in the process of determining exactly why this is. The slope of the cone, the large hole at the bottom, and the ribbing on the side walls all definitely have something to do with it, but we are testing the mechanics before we say for certain. We do claim, with absolute certainty, that the Hario Dripper works better than any other single cup brewer out there.”

That’s what I’m talkin’ about. Come get it, because the media gets exclusive previews, so why shouldn’t you?
