enjoying a nice cuppa' locally roasted

Coffee Catcher Chronicler, Nate, attended a private cupping at Seattle Coffee Works this afternoon.  Sebastian (the owner of Seattle Coffee Works) did an excellent job of roasting the beans!

The lineup included 12 coffees, mostly from Indonesia.  The Bali Kintanami was outstanding: a strong floral bouquet that just overwhelmed the senses.  Another favorite was the earthy, spicy Mandheling Rona Bhakti.

Ah, what an excellent way to spend a winter, Seattle day.

Coffee Catcher Pre-Orders

As if the arrival of a smoother French Press experience wasn't exciting enough, now you can pre-order your Coffee Catcher now on the product website.

With such a rich history of coffee excellence, it's a shame that the French Press also has a long history of broken carafes and really ugly coffee-cleanup experiences.  But, that's all changing now, as the stainless steel Coffee Catcher cleans up the experience without altering the exquisite flavor we love.

Pre-order your smoother French Press experience today!

late nights + a coffee cupping = a much needed boost

We - Nate and John the Coffee Catcher Chroniclers - were up until 7:00am this morning working on business plan and strategy for a Coffee Catcher proposal tomorrow afternoon.

As John puts it, "We're on space station time."

But, we'll get nicely wired at a coffee cupping this evening, so who knows how we'll sleep tonight...
