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!
