Great post. Its so cool to learn about things like this…I’ve never found a Starbucks or any little coffee shop around here to offer a cupping…I would go in a heartbeat if they did!

SbuxMel – not sure how much you “love” your lawyer job, but Starbucks should pay you just for being so awesome!

I’m looking forward to being able to make one of the cuppings. I’ve been to 15th Ave Coffee once with lyracole and reallly enjoyed my experience there. I had coffee brewed for me right into my cup and while I don’t remember the blend I chose it was delicious and smooth Their selection of treats left my taste buds crying for more too. I had a berry tart of sorts – delicious!

Hmm. If I keep reading, one of these days I may be converted to coffee. (I’m the hot chocolate freak so far.)

I really like that Mexico. I’ve had it twice. As for the freshness, a lot of our Clover coffees are just as fresh, as is our espresso and Pike Place Roast. When we brew Sumatra through the brewers it’s pretty fresh as well (because we go through so much for the Clover). I wish we got all of our coffees that fresh.

Do you now anything about what’s going on with the Aztecan artwork on the Mexican coffee bag? I had heard the Mexican government was upset because Starbucks used this image. (Sounds bizarre to me.)

Cool post Melody! It’s interesting to learn a little bit about coffee especially as I don’t really know a lot about it.

Btw. I followed you via Twitter ( I think you have been following me too but I think you’ve followed my old account. Anyway my new account is twitter.com/AndBreak)

holy cow! sun-dried ethiopia YIRGACHEFFE is still around??? last time I looked it was gone from ‘on-line’. ? also last time I looked, we still didn’t have any ‘Clover’ stores here, altho I did find out where they’ll be located. (all at least 30min, or 8 miles away…) Thanx for the info., and the ‘heads up’. Now I have to go searching for my all-time-total-love, ‘Yirgacheffe’.

If you are ever over in the Netherlands I would love to host a cupping and roasting session for you at the Amsterdam roasting plant
