Our home base
Although Sparkplug Coffee does not have a storefront and is a virtual / online business, we are proud to say that Corktown Toronto is our home base!
Buy Coffee & Support Corktown
Until the end of the PanAm & Para PanAm Games, 5% of net sales from any coffee purchase delivered to a Corktown Toronto will be donated to the Corktown Residents & Business Association.
We'll tally up all the Corktown & area sales up to August 15, 2015 and cut a cheque to the CRBA to help it with its excellent community activities. And for Corktowners who sign up to get coffee on autopilot - delivered every 2 weeks, 3 weeks or monthly - we'll continue the donation to the CRBA for all of 2015.

Our Mad Bastard adventure:
Held every 2 years, the Mad Bastard Scooter Rally is a one-day adventure that takes participants on a circle route covering about 650 km. This year Rally HQ was in Guelph, an easy 100 km scoot from Toronto on side roads and country highways.
Joe & Kara scootered up to Guelph on Friday afternoon. Checked in, had dinner with the rest of the group, went through the Rider Meeting to learn all about the route and plan for the next day. Hmmm... 640 km with a bunch of photo challenges and some trivia questions to answer en route. Seems doable.
24 hours later, when we were not even half-way through the route, we weren't quite so sure....

Is it OK to reboil water... or do I need to refill and start fresh with cold water each time?
At a recent coffee class, Meghan asked about reboiling water and if it is OK to reheat a still warm kettle. Good question! Read on for the answer... (note that the link is ABOVE this intro - yes, that seems wrong to me, too!)
