Coffee for Christmas? And a Hub mug, too?

A bit last minute... but you know what they say, "Better late than never!" We want to throw out some wonderful Christmas present ideas to all of our followers, and it's all available at The Hub!

What could be better than whole bean coffee for those last-minute stocking stuffers? And just think how much more magical Christmas morning could be when your loved one opens up his gift only to get knocked in the nose with warm aromatics from those tasty beans? Then a fresh brew to get you through all those other presents... Mmmmmmm! Now with the big day only five days away, you can guarantee that the coffee won't stale as it rests beneath that 12-foot beauty-of-a-christmas-tree you have standing tall and mighty in your living room.

And to compliment that fresh bag of beans, we have custom Hub diner mugs for $10! The Hub logo graces each side of these 10 oz. mugs, and every time you bring it in for use at the coffee shop you'll get a 25 cent discount. For all our die-hards out there, we know it won't be long before these babies pay for themselves. Only 40 visits? We have some coffee crazies that could bust that out in a week's time! Not to mention you can show off to all your buddies where you get your coffee without even saying a word! Just a sip and a sigh of enjoyment and they'll have a hankerin' for The Hub, and you'll be the coolest coffee dude in town.

Buy either a bag of beans, or a Hub diner mug, or both! We have fancy gift boxes and a little discount if you go all out. $20 will get you 8 oz. of tasty coffee and a fancy mug! And if you're just not sure what to get, buy a gift certificate. We have those, too!

Making friends and slinging straight PUCKS at the HUB !

AMARO GAYO MILL = GOOD COFFEE AT THE HUB











(Photos from the Amaro Gayo coffee mill in Sidamo, Ethiopia)

sipping the BOSS Espresso on a Saturday at the HUB, and would you look at the pucks J DUB was slinging .....
Not to mention that the GLORIOUSLY balanced and thickly sweet , straight up SIDAMO Berried Ethiopian Amaro Gayo is back in the house ! taste like sweet berries and heavy cream... oh lawd!
We get a nice blueberry profile behind each sip. Come in and try one , tell us what you think !

We also had the privilege of meeting Wille (Vee-ley) who is the Owner and Roaster of HEART Coffee and Roasting. He brought in a GREAT single origin Ethiopia Mordecofe Espresso, we pulled a couple of shots with it and it truly brought the house down !
check their new place out in Portland on East Burnside if your up there. Its great to meet other coffee enthusiasts and Roasters who actually know about their coffees, care about how its prepared and make coffee not only a daily ritual but a mission !

some shots from the last cupping !








Remember to Come down to the Hub Coffee Co. on Friday around 10 a.m. for our free cupping. This is a complimentary bi-weekly event that we do to encourage our community to hone a more intimate relationship with its coffee. This Friday we will be tasting the deeply dark Brazilian Monte Cristo, the Seductive Colombian Reserva del Diablo and the Sticky Tablon 12 from Finca Aconcagua in El Salvador. These coffees were such a hit two weeks ago that we had more than a dozen attend the cupping. Please RSVP for this event if you can as we will do an additional cupping in the afternoon if necessary.

Also, note we are now open until 5 p.m. on Sunday.
