Guest Espresso

In the interest of expanding our horizons, we here in Brooklyn have recently been authorized to spend company resources on espresso blends from other roasters. Our plan is simple. Buy five pound bags of espresso from respected roasters throughout the country and spend a day or two pulling shots and making drinks with it. Though our motivation is primarily to increase our personal experiences with different coffees, we will be offering it as an alternative to our Leftist Espresso for customers as well. It's a little strange for a company who roasts coffee to use beans roasted elsewhere, but we hope to increase our own knowledge base while simultaneously calling attention to the world of specialty coffee as a whole. There are many company's that we here in Brooklyn respect, either through word of mouth or personal experience, and we'd like to spend more time taking an in depth look at what they're up to these days. Maybe it's the novelty of this idea but it seems we may have struck out with the roaster we selected to begin this journey with. George Howell's Terroir Coffee. A well respected roaster based in Massachusetts, their customer service rep seemed a bit wary of our motivations...And rightfully so. It is a strange request to receive. Nevertheless we will push on to number two on our list and see what happens. Maybe we'll get an opportunity to work with Terroir's North Italian Roast Style Coffee a little bit later down the road.
