Others do, and the personalized coffee bags have been a big hit. That might be true for some, that they don’t want to give out wedding favors.

The last thing a special couple want to be concerned about is paying a bundle of funds on wedding favors. Cheers.

I roast as well. I just wanted to point out that espresso should NOT have a blonde crema whatsoever. A blonde crema can be the result of a few things..... One would be over extraction of the shot, resulting in a diluted cup with a very light, blonde coloured crema. Another would be very stale coffee which tends to produce a crema of the same sort. You should be looking for an amber to reddish brown crema for the sweetest, tastiest shot of espresso. Hi there, I found your site through the roasters guild forums. I roast as well.

]]> Comment on Coffee with an Attitude, What’s the @#@$ point? by cb http://jitterycoffeecuproasters.com/blog/?p=132&cpage=1#comment-204 cb Mon, 30 Nov 2009 23:51:47 +0000 http://jitterycoffeecuproasters.com/blog/?p=132#comment-204 The more I think about this store front you're describing, the more confidant I am that they won't be around long if they don't get over themselves. Have you succeeded in speaking to one of the owners? Because nobody opens a specialty coffee shop in order to have the baristas be sassy and surly. The point of opening such a coffee shop is to bring enthusiasts together over some good joe. Not to ridicule those who simpler tastes or less developed palates. If a person finds as much pleasure in a cup of Folgers drip as Michael Brown finds in a good shot of espresso, that doesn't make them any less valid. They're still entitled to a cup of coffee without attitude. So, no. You shouldn't have to prove that you know anything about coffee. Every cafe I've been to that has what I consider to be exceptional coffee also had knowledgeable baristas who were EAGER to discuss bean/blend origin, brewing and extraction process, and flavor profiles, and even food matching. Those clowns are doing it wrong, and they aren't going to instill an appreciation for coffee in their customers if they don't create a pleasant and an educational environment. Hell, they aren't going to be selling coffee at all for very long if they don't get over themselves and start engaging with their customers. In fact, they are betraying the fact that they have little knowledge about cafe society and the way a coffee bar should be run. Their snobbery is undeserved. I'm sorry you've had such a nasty experience there. My ire is up on your behalf.
