Hours of Coffee


Shut Sign
Originally uploaded by doubleshotcoffee.
After... 6 months? of working this coffeehouse and roastery all by myself, I'm getting sort of tired. I don't know if you're aware of what all goes into the cup of coffee you drink each morning, but here's a short run-down:
Choosing and requesting samples from a broker.
Roasting and cupping those samples.
Ordering.
Carrying the bags in.
Roasting.
Blending (if it's espresso).
Ordering cups, lids, and java jackets.
Stamping those cups and java jackets.
Brewing the coffee.
Serving it to you.
Cleaning up the messes.

It's a lot. I promise. And that doesn't even include the work that goes into the coffee before I get it (which is a lot more). Maybe I'll make a movie about it.

Anyway, I've decided I need to have a pre-programmed day each week to catch up on work and to go outside. It will be better in the long-run for all of us. But the price to pay is that I'll be SHUT on Sundays.

So here are the new Hours of Coffee (subject to change without notice):
Mon-Thurs 7am-ish to 5pm
Friday 7am-ish to 3pm
Saturday 9am-ish to 3pm
Sunday SHUT!

Thanks for your cooperation.
