Bang Candy Co.?

Going this Friday I think. I can't wait!
Enjoy! The coffee is so good, there's not a grain of sugar or a drop of creamer anywhere to be found.

Couple new mugs.

Damn those are nice

I love lion coffee. I used to drink it all the time when I lived in Hawaii.
Awesome. Yeah I just thought the mug looked cool. Never had their coffee.

That digital electric kettle came in today. Thing is fucking badass. I don't have the AeroPress here (left at the office), and probably would not drink coffee this late anyway, but made some tea: http://www.teavana.com/the-teas/white-teas/p/peach-momotaro-artisan-tea
It heats up super fast, so convenient and precise.

JOCO cups are pretty nice, much better than the plastic keep cups as they're some sort of toughened glass.

Has anyone heard of Coffee Joulies?http://www.joulies.com/
I've been thinking about getting them for a long time but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Thought some of you coffee geeks might get a kick out of them.

My bartender last night (and buddy) is also a barista. I asked about local coffee and he encouraged me to check out Dogwood (http://www.dogwoodcoffee.com/), where he works. I had had their coffee at one of my favorite restaurants (they do drip, espresso, and siphon there), and knew he was right about them. Total geeks. They developed their own cold presser, had a cold press shaken with coconut milk that was quite good.
Also picked up this beauty:
Perfect size for moistening aeropress filters:
And some of this freshly roasted espresso blend (they were out of single source): http://www.dogwoodcoffee.com/collections/all-coffee/products/neon_espresso
Aeropressed a scoop of this over a giant ice cube (too goddamned hot today for hot coffee) and added some pastured whole milk (after tasting the syrupy deliciousness of course):
Quite good I must say, especially with milk. It would make a wondrous cappuccino. This is good stuff. You can order it online, apparently even on Amazon, if you are interested.

Thanks D–it was made for pour-overs and Aeropress. Super heavy and thick!
-
I need one how do I get it? Want it for my Aeropress.

Went to Sump yesterday and good Lord, I may never drink regular coffee again. Eye opening!

Can't even imagine how good it was

Anesthetist, what a great experience :). It's not too hard to make non-espresso coffee at home, low costs, simple to make, and tastes amazing.
Sump looks like a really nicely spaced/designed shop. Watching the videos the other day didn't show the full shop as nicely as that - thank you.
MCL, nice mug mate. Great to see all these thicker mugs popping up. They do make a taste difference, same as wine glasses, so nice work :). (Why it's different feck knows, but I can taste it and you've got geeks like Dogwood making mugs specifically for pour over/aeropress)
