February 2019 La Marzocco Subscription – Elixr Coffee

Elixir is one of those... roasters that you hear about pretty often if follow the specialty coffee industry as closely as I do.  Personally and professionally I have a ton of respect for them. For a roastery that is relatively young (established in 2010) they've really managed to create a name for themselves.  They're a highly...

November 2018 La Marzocco Subscription – Campos Coffee

Australia's espresso game... is top notch.  Considering drip coffee is a relatively new beverage there, the espresso market has had a lot of time to mature.  With big names making the move across the pond, like Toby's Estate, and Proud Mary, Campos Coffee didn't want to miss out on North America's exploding coffee culture. Based in...

I've never been to Philadelphia... but I hear its Always Sunny, and the cheesesteaks are to die for.  Yet, apparently the City of Brotherly Love is also the home of the growing coffee company La Colombe.  My first experience with their coffee was visiting my sister in Chicago.  It was June, it was humid, and I...

This isn't my first foray with Sweet Bloom... just a few short months ago I picked up a bag at a local shop that is a multi-roaster.  I was immediately drawn to the bag.  There is something about the black and white coffee shrub with the colored tag that really was magnetic to me.  These bags...

May 2018 La Marzocco Subscription – Cuvee Coffee

It's been rumored that Cuvee Coffee... was the first company to successfully keg and tap cold brew.  Whether thats a fact or not is besides the point, but a company that is looking to innovate in the industry is a company that I respect.  Cuvee, like many specialty coffee companies, is developing relationships with farmers to...

January 2018 La Marzocco Subscription – Kickapoo

Balance isn’t just for tightrope walkers... It’s also an important factor in specialty coffee.  What it means is no single aspect overpowers the others.  Instead they help make each other better in contrast.  For example, this is why salt and caramel is so good together.  They are complimentary, they balance each other, and together they create...

December 2017 La Marzocco Subscription – Caffe Umbria

As a coffee enthusiast born out of the third wave... I tend to cringe at the term “Italian Espresso”. It’s not that it can’t be good, it’s just not on the flavor spectrum that I usually go for.
