Roastery and other Summer news

We can see the Hub Coffee Roastery just breaking the horizon. We're shooting for July to get things in motion, and by August we hope to be full speed at a wonderful location just behind The Lincoln Lounge at 4th and Evans, near the Reno Aces ballpark.

In the meantime, we'll have some amazing coffees to offer from the roasters we've been working with over the past two years: Ecco Caffe, Intelligentsia, etc.

Central American coffees of the current year's harvest are now being received by roasters all over, so we'll have some delicious Latin offerings for you in the coming month: a tasty Colombian from De La Paz, an organic Bolivian coffee of the Las Yungas region from Ecco Caffe, and so many more.

Currently, we have the organic Bolivia from Ecco available by way of Chemex, a filtered brewing method that highlights sweetness while providing a clean cup of coffee laced with delicate varietal nuance. In the Bolivia Las Yungas, melon candy notes mingle alongside warm apple, surprisingly refreshing on a hot summer day, while maintaining a deeper, rich characteristic so often desired in a cup of well-brewed coffee.

Ethiopia Nigusie Lemma, dry process

It's a mouthful... a tasty mouthful. Ethiopia Nigusie Lemma - our newest coffee being roasted on the San Franciscan at the boss' garage. Dry-processed coffees skip a certain "washing" step in the production process on the coffee farm. The coffee is laid out on large patios to dry in the sun, essentially allowing to sun's radiant power to "clean" the mucilage of the coffee cherry off of the beans. Dry-processed coffees boast sticky, fruity flavors that we like to call "jammy" with a muted acidity; earthy and chocolate notes are also present.

This particular coffee reminds us of toast, chocolate, and something between grape and blueberry jam!

Ask the guys and gals at the shop when there will be some available to drink or take home to enjoy! $14 for 12 oz. You're tastebuds will tell you it's a steal.

Hub Coffee Roasters

We're getting more and more into it! We've just received our second shipment of green (unroasted) coffee from a quality source, and we're roasting it all on our tiny one pound San Franciscan.

So far, we've achieved roasts on two coffees from Ethiopia and Sulawesi that we are pretty happy about. Clearly, you agree, because you all bought up our entire stock of the Ethiopia Wollega Leka Wato in a matter of weeks!

Stay tuned for more, and be sure to stop by to see about our Sulawesi Toarco Jaya, as well as a new dry processed Ethiopian coffee that has already begun to wow our tastebuds.

We're still here!

Still making tasty coffee at 32 Cheney St.

And we've received our little mini coffee roaster. That means we're entering the first phases of our very own roasting operation at The Hub! Hub-roasted coffee is on the way!

Coffee haps...

We're wranglin' in a solid rotation of coffees from all of the fabulous roasters we work with... Barefoot Coffee out of San Jose, CA; Ecco Caffé out of Santa Rosa, CA; Intelligentsia Coffee out of Los Angeles, CA; maybe more to come?!

Anyhow, stay up to date. We can guarantee, however, that whatever it is that we have to offer, it will be roasted with care, brewed with superior taste in mind, and handed to you with a smile!

A New Year

Same Hub... only better!
