NEW NEWS FROM BROWN
21 MAY 10 SUMMER PRE-ORDERS
Kenya Karuya is almost here! Pre-Orders are up now for what will be the blockbuster coffee of the early Summer. It is juicy and citrusy and beautifully complex and savory and perfect hot or crazy good brewed double strength for iced coffee. In short, it's the quintessential Kenya. Pre-Orders will ship the Friday after Memorial Day. And of course, all Coffee Addicts subscribers will get their shipments first.
29 APR 10 UP OUR SLEEVES
A few things on the Brown Coffee Company horizon. First, thru 7 May at the cafe, the new 2 cup ceramic Hario V60 dripper (shown below) with 100 count Hario filters are only $20.
With the advent of warmer Texas weather we will be tweaking the cafe menu slightly to make room for some cold/iced beverages to launch some time around Memorial Day.
We are working to secure our very first microlot(s) of coffee from Colombia. We are also eagerly anticipating the return of Fernando Lima-Mena's Finca Las Nubes from El Salvador. Some other coffee origins up for consideration on our coffee radar are Costa Rica, Kenya, Indonesia. We will of course splash any impending new offerings here in this space.
New shirts (see below) are selling briskly. These always sell out so get yours before they're gone. Ready to roll from Small-2XL.
22 APR 10 HARIO + LAST FLIGHT OF CHINATI
Hario is back (I love saying those words!) and you should get here to get yours while the gettin's good.
We have just a few Hario "Skerton" handmills left; plus new Hario V60 ceramic drippers (pictured left) + V60 #2 filters to match. We had a small truckful of these delightful Hario "Skerton" manual coffee grinders in our latest order. We are down to seven left so DO. NOT. DELAY, as these little guys are hard to come by. Ceramic burrs. Low rpm's=outrageously sweet aromas. Fully dishwashable. Easy to use. Easy for traveling. Lovely.
The V60 ceramic drippers are all the hotness right now. They impart a unique flavor profile to our already delicious coffees with their proprietary vortex vanes and cropped bottom. All ceramic dripper orders are currently shipping with one FREE 100-count pack of white Hario V60 paper filters, so order yours today.
Also in stock at Brown World Headquarters are Beehouse ceramic drippers, Chemex brewers and regular small installments of off-menu coffees from around the world for our in-store customers.
Finally, we are just a few short days away from opening pre-orders for our final (ever, we promise) run of Espresso Five: Chinati. This espresso has been widely praised from baristas and home brewers alike. Watch this space for that announcement. Thank you.
5 APRIL 10 SPRING/SUMMER T-SHIRT
New Brown Coffee Company t-shirts are here for Spring/Summer 2010. Pre-order pricing is turned on at the Online Shopping Cart now thru...who knows when. So take advantage now and help support the Slow Bar Movement.
"Slow Since 2005" is the theme of this shirt, depicting one of Brown's all-time favorite manual (read: "slow") coffee brewing methods--the Chemex.
The shirt is designed by Aaron Blanco and is printed on 100% pre-shrunk American Apparel (as in, China-free) fine jersey t-shirts. These shirts are cut a little slim up the sides and have a slightly shorter sleeve length. Perfect for showing off the physique you've been working on all Spring. And the color is appropriately Springishly-Summerishly called "Sunshine."
Be the first in your neighborhood to show your love for Brown and for obscure coffee brewing methods.
