Hello Friends,

A rainy day spent in the espresso lab has resulted in a new drink. Recently I have been tossing a lemon peel in with my morning espresso in the tradition of the Romans. I love the little extra zing it adds to the drink. It is my favorite thing about Italian culture. From place to place, things that are common are done just a little bit different. And of course each Italian feels like their tiny change in the dish makes it the best.

This week I would like to present to you the Macchiato Romano. It is a shot of a lemony espresso with a steamed lemon peel and vanilla bean infused cream. It is served in a lemon sugar rimmed cup for a little extra zing and sweetness. I think you will agree the Romans are on to something here.

WELL UPDATE – We have now raised $1425 towards a well. You can follow the progress or donate by visiting mycharitywater.org/incognito
We have already raised enough to provide clean water for 70 people. Thanks for drinking coffee and caring.

Hello Friends,

I was a fantastic day at the kitchen window today. Many of you came out to support the beginning of the charity:water campaign. I am proud to announce that we raised $316 today! Thanks so much to Ashley Reynolds for giving up her birthday for this cause.

This week I will bring you the last of my stock of Amano chocolate. Tomorrow morning I will be serving the Mocha until I run out of my chocolate ganache. First come first serve! I will also be serving delightful drinks made from Ecco’s El Tambor espresso. This coffee has worked it’s way into my heart. It is sweet without being acidic. It is spicy without being bitter, and it has the consistency of heavy cream. Beautiful stuff.

WELL UPDATE: The website is up at mycharitywater.com/incognito I will be making the first two donations as soon as I can. When I attempted today, the credit card system seemed to be down. We are now at $1,316, so $3,684 to go.

Hello Friends,

Ashley Reynolds has “donated” her birthday to the cause as well.

We will be serving coffee and lemonade for this very special opening of Incognito Espresso. In lieu of any gifts, please come and give a donation for your drink to charity:water on behalf of Ashley.

Let’s “drink” to Ashley while also giving to a wonderful charity that builds fresh water wells in developing countries. (www.charitywater.org)

Hello Friends,

It’s good to be home after a couple weeks traveling in the Northwest. I did get to visit a new shop in Portland that is doing great things. The shop is called Coava and one of the partners has invented a new filter for drip coffee that is made from metal. This will save tons of paper filters, and after trying the coffee I can honestly say that I think it helps improve the taste. My initial theory is that more essential oils are getting into the cup that usually get caught by the filter. It makes for a delicious cup, and one that produces less waste. I will be trying to bring the filter to the window when it is available.

For now, I have brought home some of Coava’s espresso Guatamala Xeucalvitz. It has a beautiful brown sugar sweetness with some lovely rose notes. It is a higher noted coffee for those who like brightness. Come by tomorrow for a chance to taste some of Portland’s finest.

WELL UPDATE – It is time to kick off the clean water campaign in full force. This coming Sunday I will launch the incognito clean water website. I will make the initial donation, and then open it up for everyone. I will be open on Sunday from 10 am – 1 pm to help start things off. Ashley Reynolds has decided to donate her birthday to the cause. She will be at the window serving some homemade lemonade, and I will be serving some hot and cold coffee drinks. There will be a computer available for anyone wanting to make a donation. I will give you more info later in the week. Looking forward to getting this campaign going for real!
