I went to Louisville, KY with Sandy and Anita who were judges for the State Fair Beer Competition. I took the car and headed over to a coffee shop called Ray's Monkey House. The owner/roaster Nimbus invited me to hang out with him at a local farmers market.
I enjoyed talking with him about business and about how his coffee shop recyles and composts.

I also visited Sunergos Coffee. Both Ray's and Sunergos are roaster/retailers. Both places had a respectable shot of espresso.

If you are ever in Louisville, be sure to try the coffees from these fine shops.

Rock and Roll, new meaning............rock all night, but you need to drive back to Chicago today............Then you need a coffee from
BJava!

Espresso!
The Harvest Cafe Espresso blend will be on the bar by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest. Going off will be the Higher Grounds espresso blend. Still on for a week Julian Espresso Crema.

The next roaster I plan to order from is Metropolis Coffee out of Chicago. I may be using another blend of theirs for espresso, as my machine does not run hot enough for their espresso blend.

I had a pot of the Metropolis Mocha Java blend it was awesome, I also really enjoyed their Rwanda and Tanzania Peaberry. So, bean buyers get ready for some great coffees you will need to take home!

I have a customer who is 1 month old, but I am guessing when she is old enough I will have her on the espresso machine too!

If Arlo knew me he would say.........

DRINK ME!

Busy, busy, busy! We had two successful events today! We had a meet and greet with the Indiana Speed, women's professional football team, and we were set up at the dog park for an event with Paws and Think.

The Speed event brought in a couple of new people who were interested in meeting our football players. We really had a good time with "Spoon" as our guest barista.

The Dog Olympics was a success at the Eagle Creek Dog Park. Paws and Think is a group that matches at risk youth with dogs to train. Bjava was a sponsor, our first time, and we had a table selling iced coffee drinks.
Let me tell you I wish I could have attended both events! Dara and Brian hug out with the puppies, while Lucy and I played with the footballers!

Have a great weekend!
