Peter's blog

In addition to our coffee review blog series, we have decided to add another. When we have a pleasant experience at a coffee shop, we want to share it with you all in hopes that it will encourage people to check out the good things that are happening in the Louisville coffee community. We hope to write a post about as many local shops as we can and possibly some in neighboring cities. Hope you enjoy!

We received our first shipment of Aerobie Aeropress brewers this morning. I wasn't sure what to expect from a frisbee manufacturer, but the reviews I've read were all very positive. As soon as we could, Lee and I both headed off to the break room to brew up the first two cups. Lee used more water with a medium grind. I used less water with a grind only a little coarser than espresso.

PT's Coffee very graciously sent us bags and bags of coffee and espresso for the Bash a couple of weeks ago. There was some Ehtiopia Sidama Ardi Natural left over and we snatched it up for our office enjoyment (which is what we are sipping on this morning). The citrus fruit notes have mellowed out a bit after a couple of weeks but there is still a deep, sweet fruit and spice taste that is keeping me well satisfied. Thank you PT's and thank you Mike!

Sorry for the delay, but this is my first day back in the office since the Bash. First off... wow! What an awesome success! So many people showed up and so much great coffee was consumed. Congrats to Chris Heiniger and Kenny Smith who took first and second place in the latte art competition, and a HUGE thank you to Chris Deferio for driving down from Muncie and gracing us with his coffee expertise.

There are so many more people to thank. I'm not sure where to begin and I'm sure that I will forget somebody. Here goes, thank you to:

Intelligentsia was so kind as to send us some excellent coffee for the Bash. Don't worry, we taste tested it for you =)

Introducing the first ever Prima Coffee Tamper. We are thinking about making this one of the prizes for the latte art competition. What do you think?

I know a lot of you were excited about competing in the latte art contest at the Barista Bash. Because of time constraints, we are going to have to limit the number of contestants to 24. The first 24 people to show up and sign up for the contest will be entered in. So if you want to compete, make sure you show up early!

There has been a few rumors going around about the Barista Bash coming up on March 26th. Some people were uncertain about whether or not it had been rescheduled. I would like to let all of you know that it is definitely not rescheduled. Come March 26th we are going to be having an awesome time brewing up some delicious coffees and generally geeking out.

If this is the first that you are hearing of all this, we hope to see you there. You can get more info about the event on this page.

Welcome to our new site! We've made many improvements which we hope will make your experience much more enjoyable. We are, however, still working out some of the kinks. If you happen to come across anything that does not work like you think it should, please let us know by filling out the form provided on the "Contact Us" page. Make sure you use the subject, "Website".

As many of you know, the new site has just very recently been "unveiled". We are still finding little things here and there that need fixing. If you run into any bugs or think that anything could be improved (within reason), send me an email at peter.sieg@prima-coffee.com and give me the details. And when you do, send me some screen shots; that will make my job much easier.

I hope you all will enjoy the site and find it to be a valuable resource.
