Upcoming coffee cuppings & tastings

Both The Coffee Ethic and the Mudhouse in downtown Springfield will be offering opportunities to try out coffees in coming weeks.  If you’re not familiar with a “cupping” or a tasting, it’s simply an event, much like a wine tasting party, where you sample different coffees to get a feel for their aromas and flavors [...]

Outdoor seating at the Coffee Ethic?

In response to the Twitter post of a web design buddy on Thursday who said he was looking for “looking for a place to work some this spring in #sgf – Requirements: is outdoors, has tables or ample work-surface, wi-fi & caffeine”, the Coffee Ethic responded, “outdoor seating at thecoffeeethic coming soon.

Reflections in an espresso machine: part 2

The other day, I posted some photos I took of reflections in shiny Nuova Simonelli espresso machine at The Coffee Ethic in downtown Springfield.  Today a post a couple more that I took that day in early January.  The photos were taken with my Blackberry Curve while I was there for an afternoon coffee. There’s [...]

Reflections of an espresso machine

Back in early January, I was at The Coffee Ethic on Park Central Square and took some photos with my Blackberry.  I was just playing around in the reflection of the Nuova Simonelli espresso machine, and I got some fun photos.  Probably the best of all the photos is here, and the rest are after [...]

Dave Barry coffee quote at The Coffee Ethic

Here’s a great coffee quote I recently saw at The Coffee Ethic. I love it because it so defines the coffee geek mindset. If you happen to be reading this in a non-graphical format (i.e. feed reader or mobile browser), the quote says: “It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a [...]

Early January Coffee Ethic line

Dogwood Canyon and Mackenzie Moore tonight at the Coffee Ethic

Tonight the Coffee Ethic (124 Park Central Square)  is hosting some musical talent.  Starting at 8 p.m., check out the music of Dogwood Canyon and Mackenzie Moore while imbibing on great coffee.  As their promotion says, “early-ish, no smokey, no drunk hecklery, all agey, and free” — what else do you need?  It is very [...]

Monday coffee: Coffee Ethic

Oh, the joys of going to work when everyone else is taking time off for the holiday.  I’m expecting the office to be pretty empty this week, but the end of year work is pretty intense.  I won’t be bored, but this morning, getting up and out of bed and to the office was not [...]

Tuesday morning: Coffee Ethic

This morning I dropped by The Coffee Ethic to grab a cup of drip from their Clover machine.  I’m realizing that  I am truly spoiled by that Clover machine.  If I don’t take the time to make my own coffee on my automatic Technivorm or with my manual Chemex, I crave Coffee Ethic’s drip. I [...]
