Brew A Great Cup Every Time coffee class #1

What fun! 10 people signed up for the first ever session of our Brew A Great Cup Every Time coffee class and 12 people showed up! Including a lovely and patient 5 year old who sampled the double chocolate banana bread but didn't partake of the coffees.

We made coffee using a pourover AKA cone filter or dripper, French press, then the AeroPress 3 ways. And sampled coffee made with the Espro press at the end. The coffees were all tasty. I remembered almost all the tips I wanted to share. The feedback forms say that everyone learned something new and enjoyed themselves. 100% would recommend this to other coffee lovers so we may make this a regular thing. I also learned some helpful tips for making future sessions run more smoothly. Overall, a great success!

Thank you to The Healthy Road for donating the lovely kitchen space! And thanks to all you coffee lovers who joined me for this session!

50 Years since Brighton Beach

Sparkplug Coffee was honoured to be part of the 2014 Mods & Rockers event, bringing fresh brewed coffee to the start of the group ride. What coffees? The Bullit Custom and Kick Start blends, of course!

Sweet ride!

Sweet ride!

Party at the Duke

We then shared a booth with our buddies from Bullit Custom Cycle in the rain at the Duke for the "show & shine". Very cool that a bike built by Rob from Bullit was awarded best in show.

Amazing bikes, a great day, despite the rainy afternoon!

Merry Ugly Christmas Sweater Day!
