So I hope everyone had a ballin’ ass new year and whatnot, ya know drank, had fun, and made resolutions etc, etc…
So Mr. Ben Kaminskys visits have been getting to me and I’ve been inspired to buy a vac-pot. Every time this cat comes to the Sucka Free he kind of lives in the Ritual basement making vac-pots and talkin’ trash like any good coffee geek would. So I had some good vac-pot and decided I need to try and handle this shit myself. So if anyone has a Hario TCA-2 that they want to sell…hit me up. Other than that we’ve been spending a lot of time revamping and playing with the Spro. It’s at three components right now, which I think is good for several reasons. We also switched out the single origin offering to another COE coffee: Honduras La Pinona; caramel apple, almond rocca, and toasted hazelnuts come to mind. A bit more balanced than the Yalu (which is probably why I like the Yalu more…most of the time for me, balanced=boring) and as an espresso tastes very much the same as it would on the cupping table. That’s all I got. Happy new year ganstas.
