We’re behind in posting to the blog but happily we are in great shape with coffee and equipment.\u00a0 We will certainly make an effort to post more often.\u00a0 At the moment we have all the Technivorm Moccamaster models in stock, these include the ever popular KBT-741 in both polished silver and black, the cylindrical Moccamaster CDT all of which brew 1.25 liters.\u00a0 We also stock the slightly smaller and shorter one liter model, KBTS.\u00a0 All are available with the best offer on the internet<\/a> and selling at the lowest allowable price.<\/p>\n

A number of coffees have arrived and will be on the site very shortly.\u00a0 We were successful bidders on Hacienda Esmeralda’s lot called Mario Pasqua, our favorite of the group offered this year.\u00a0 Mario is the name of the field where their most acclaimed coffee has come from in the past.\u00a0 This field was picked three times, the last of which was in April around Easter – Pasqua in Spanish.\u00a0 Esmeralda’s crop was half of the previous year, a common problem throughout Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia this year.\u00a0 Less coffee, winner of this year’s Best of Panama, higher prices.\u00a0 We will have only a bit available.<\/p>\n

We will also be adding Ethiopia Amaro Gayo Organic, a beautifully selected natural with pronounced blueberry and tons of fruit.\u00a0 Special coffees out of Ethiopia are very difficult to find this year because of the advent of the ECX or Ethiopia Commodity Exchange.\u00a0 Ethiopia has launched its own NY Mercantile style exchange in an effort to generate more income and smoother transactions for farmers within the country, where in the past an open auction system existed.\u00a0 In doing so, the exchange negates rewards some growers and exporters were gettting in the past for exceptional coffee production, and relegates those coffees to being identified solely by region. It would be like famous Grand Cru wines such as Chateaux Lafite, Latour or Margaux being required to be sold as just Bordeaux, without allowing them to be sold separately and at their much deservingly higher prices.\u00a0 Why would they continue to take special care and make investment in their farms\u00a0without reward?\u00a0 This is a situation we hope to be corrected in the near future, but it exists for now.\u00a0 Some pre-arranged shipments were allowed to go through and Amaro Gayo Organic is one of them.\u00a0 It is similar in appeal to Bagersh’ Idido Misty Valley, which will not be in the US in 2009.<\/p>\n

Also be on the lookout for a truly top Kenya AA Kagumoini, one of the best we’ve had in some time, and we’ve had some stunners. Another coffee is a microlot from Costa Rica milled at the Helsar micromill.\u00a0 These and more to be added shortly.\u00a0 Check our New Arrivals<\/a> section for the latest additions.\u00a0 New CoE coffees from Colombia, the 4th place winner, and, Costa Rica, the 3rd place winner, have just been added.<\/p>\n
