Black Cat returns!
Here's the scoop:
We've been back and forth between the espresso blends available to us from our coffee roasters, Barefoot and Intelligentsia. The Boss from Barefoot has kept us more than happy since long before we opened The Hub 7 months ago.
Then we became curious... "Hmmm..." we said to ourselves,"I wonder 'bout that Intelligentsia." We just couldn't resist. Lovely stuff, really.
So here we are, having been back and forth between the two for a couple of months now, and we've finally arrived at a wonderful conclusion: Let's brew them both! Yeah... Why didn't we think of that first? Seems like a no-brainer now.
Swing by The Hub anytime, starting tomorrow, Friday the 29th of January, for a shot of The Boss, a shot of Black Cat, a shot of each?! Yay!
P.S. Keep your eyes and ears open for some single-origin espresso... it's a-comin'!

One last test run.
Intelligentsia's Black Cat classic espresso is back at The Hub for the weekend. Just one last test run as we prepare to make it official.
We've had nothing but a positive experience with Black Cat so far. Customers love it. And we can't get enough ourselves. For this reason, starting this coming Friday, Black Cat will take top honors at The Hub. Alongside that, we'll be alternating between Barefoot's The Boss and many of their wonderful single-origin beans as alternate espressos for your choosing.
We can't wait!

Currently brewing at The Hub...
Check out the brew list to the right of the blog homepage. We have some amazing coffees in the line-up currently.
We brewed up Barefoot's Kenya Nyeri Kiawamururu for the first time this morning and it blew our socks off! Hot buttered popcorn and caramel? Seriously though. It's good. Tasty berry goodness, the one and only Ethiopia Sidamo Amaro Gayo from Barefoot, is also available. Yet another coffee that'll convert any syrup and sugar addict to a black coffee drinker. It's that good! Along with the Barefoot beans, we have the delicate and delectable Colombia Finca Santuario from Intelligentsia Coffee.
We're bringing back the single-origin espresso very, very soon. All our S.O. espresso fans can look forward to thick blueberry syrup in a cup when we get around to throwing Barefoot's Amaro Gayo in the espresso grinder. Stay tuned!
Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled, we'll be receiving a few new coffees from both Barefoot and Intelligentsia over the coming weeks. Allow me to plant this little bug in your ear: The Brazil Agua Preta from Intelligentsia will make you squeal (only in the best of ways, of course).

The Foot, The Boss, and Intelli, too!
So... we just couldn't say goodbye. We at The Hub want our cake, and we want to eat it too. Then we want some pie, a couple scoops of ice cream with chocolate sauce and colorful candy sprinkles!
I'll spare you all the pleasure of decoding the dessert talk. In short, The Boss espresso along with some of the wonderful single-origin coffees from Barefoot Coffee Roasters are back at The Hub. And they're here to stay. We just couldn't say goodbye for good to our first love and have therefore decided to play for both teams. What could be better than Barefoot or Intelligentsia coffee at The Hub? Why, Barefoot AND Intelligentsia at The Hub! (Yeah, you wish you had thought of it, right?)
Stay tuned for more details and updates as to the specific coffees we'll be rotating in and out over the coming weeks. But in the meantime stop by for a shot of The Boss, the tasty chocolate ganache fruit-bomb you all know and love!

January 2010
First off, Happy New Year and a belated Merry Christmas and all that wonderful holiday stuff. We hope everybody has made it through the holiday season with their sanity and their overall safety after travels and whatnot. Yay.
For those of you that have yet to experience the fantastic coffees we've been brewing up from Intelligentsia Coffee, currently roasted for us at their operation in Los Angeles, take your sweet time (just a figure of speech... of course we mean please come see us tomorrow morning). We will be continuing to brew up single-origin artisan roasted coffees from this wonderful company, and pulling their Black Cat Project Classic Espresso on the bar as well. Don't hesitate to check out the Intelligentsia Coffee website and read up on some of their very groundbreaking pratices in their coffee-purchasing realm.
Intelligentsia coffees from select origins will not only be available for you to purchase ready to enjoy at The Hub, but we have many of the same, if not all, of the coffees being prepared for you in the shop available in whole bean form for you to take home for your own preparation. Ask questions if you have any, and whoever is working the bar at The Hub will always be eager to help you find the perfect coffee for you.
