A Tanzania coffee side-by-side: Heroes vs. Intelligentsia
Recently I’ve been sampling the roasts from Heroes Coffee, a local coffee roaster based here in Springfield, Missouri. Heroes Coffee also owns the Heroes Coffee Cafe located at the corner of National Avenue and Chestnut Expressway in Springfield, which is one of the shops taking part in our 417Coffee Disloyalty Card. It’s the best location [...]
Announcing the 417Coffee Disloyalty Card
Today I’m excited to announce the launch of the 417Coffee Disloyalty Card!
What’s a disloyalty card, you ask? We’ve all used loyalty cards before — a punch card or swipe card that encourages you to visit the same coffee shop over and over for some kind of benefit or perk once you buy the right amount [...]

Our friend Adie Williams took part in the cupping, which used coffee beans roasted by PT’s Coffee out of Topeka, Kansas, and she’s submitted the following cupping notes and photos from the event.

Single origin Burundi coffee poured over ice
Today I stopped by Hebrews Coffee on Republic Road in Springfield, Missouri to get a single-origin coffee brewed via pourover. Kevin Roy, who runs Hebrews, suggested I try it iced instead of hot. That sounded intriguing. He told me that a couple days ago, he tried the Ethiopia Sidama Ardi from PT’s [...]

Sweetness
After class tonight, I decided to stop by The Hub for a sweet treat. I ordered a vanilla latte, instead of my standard caramel.
Before the barista (I think his name is Jason) began to make my drink he realized they ran out of vanilla earlier in the day. So I said I’d just take a [...]
Submit a photo of your favorite coffee mug
Everybody I know who drinks coffee has a favorite coffee mug. It’s funny how we get sentimental about coffee mugs, but I definitely have mine, pictured here (slightly out of focus). I actually have a favorite mug when I’m drinking coffee at home on the weekends and then a favorite thermal mug that I [...]
Siphon coffee brewing now at The Hub
Yesterday I got a text from the guys over at The Hub Bikes and Beans in Springfield that they had just taken delivery of a siphon coffee brewer. This morning, I stopped by and let Jason brew up some coffee from Rwanda (roasted by Intelligentsia) in their new siphon pot. I’ve actually never seen one [...]
Latte art from Kevin at Hebrews Coffee
This latte art was created by Kevin Roy of Hebrews Coffee in Springfield, Missouri on top of today’s Turtle Latte in a to go cup. Apparently, they have an internal latte art competiton weekly at Hebrews for tip money. Maybe it’s time to open that up and have a more public latte art competition of [...]
