Easy Cold Brew!

This video in our Coffee at Home series is here to for people to figure out a quick cold brew recipe for themselves.  Have some coffee that might be a little outdated for hot batch?  Cold brew is very forgiving in that final product from a variety beans usually turns out to be the less acidic and smooth coffee beverage that folks have come to love from the method.  The french press cold brew method won't catch all of the fine particulates that a cold brew with a filter would, so the cup will definitely be a bit cloudier than a cold brew at a shop.

As with all of our videos and recipes, we're offering a starting point for you to confidently find your favorite tasting cup of coffee from your own home. Toying around with the recipe and various coffees is encouraged!

Summer Solstice !

Today we reach peak daytime sunlight, the summer solstice!  As the light lasts longer and day adventures are in order, chances are you'll be biking or driving with the windows down to catch a nice summer breeze.  Chuck on our first play-list and listen to songs that frequent the speakers in the diner.  FYI, the lead off song was written and sung by one of our neighbors and everyday coffee regulars.
