Today we’ve got a little bit of the strange, funky and clovey Rwanda, some of the delicate, tea-like Mexico Chiapas and we’ve got a brand new Guatemalan on the board.

Change for the better
October 17, 2007Discovery Coffee is opening up to another round of hiring as we get ready for our busy winter season.
If you want to make coffee with folks like these, erm, well, fine folks, bring your resume on down.
Also: special thanks to Kathy for the strip of purple latex. It’s been great.
What’s on the Board
October 9, 2007Brasil Chapada is currently our darkest roast, a slightly sweet coffee with notes of liquorice.
Mexico Chiapas is a delicate, floral coffee with a wonderful tea-like body.

Forthcoming:
The brown-sugary Kenya has been a real hit and should be coming back next week.
French Press Classes
October 9, 2007Discovery Coffee is offering French press classes on October 13th at 1pm in the Annex.
This is a one hour tutorial suitable for coffee novices that will cover selection of coffee, quantity, brewing and care of your french press. Each participant goes home laden with a coffee plant, half a pound of Discovery coffee of your choice and a french press. The cost for one person is 60$ and for two is 70$ so bring a friend.
We’re also offering a partial class, for those who’ve been using a french press in their home and want to be able to better select coffees and care for their press pots. Everyone in this class will go home with a coffee plant and a half pound of Discovery coffee of your choice. The cost for one person is 30$ and for two it’s 40$.
Places are limited so please preregister at the cafe.
