Espresso in Austin?

No, and the central market sticker on it said e'x'presso (espresso with an x) I might go down to the actually shop though and buy a fresh bag to have it at it's best

Espresso in Austin?

Has anyone tried Third Coast coffee? I just bought a bag of their espresso blend from central market and found it surprisingly good, a silky milk chocolate flavor. I'm pretty sure it's what Kerby Lane uses for their coffee

Espresso in Austin?

I think the best three places to go to are Medici, Houndstooth and Once Over. All three serve Cuvee Coffee, with Once Over and Medici having their own customized blends.

Flavored Kona

Don't worry, I used grindz which always works well. I ran some Counter Culture through it this morning and it's absent of any chocolate macadamia nut. I've heard that using white rice also works at cleaning grinders, can anyone profess to this?

Flavored Kona

Upon further examination I found that there was no roast date printed, so I immediately inferred that it was probabl...

Undertow

I was just wondering if anyone has heard of an undertow. A customer came into the shop and asked for one, but I wasn't sure how to do it and neither was he. I understand that it's composed of a little cream, flavoring, and a shot of espresso, but don't know what to do from there. Any

French Roast vs Espresso Roast
