Busy Cup

Perfect Cup was open for business yesterday evening- or so it seemed.  We had a steady stream of delightful visitors to our home who were all happy to try some coffee.  I served up 5 cappuccinos (made from the People's Daily) and 2 fresh brews (from the Uprising). Great practice for the shop indeed! I only wish I had gotten more latte art hearts into those cups.  Final Verdict: Everyone was pleased with their cup.  Proof: No one added any sugar!

Mobile Cup

saturday.24.july.2010

Perfect Cup was on the move last night. Husband, Sister-in-law #2 by Seniority (Husband has 5 sisters), the French Press and I went out delivering coffee to those in caffeine need. Our ammunition: the freshly ground Dean’s Beans Uprising blend- a smooth Vienna-roasted blend of Bolivian, Nicaraguan, Peruvian and El Salvadoran beans. Armed with several mugs’ worth of supplies we marched off to Sister-in law #4’s house, where friends and family were preparing for a Clothes-ing Down Sale. The Uprising was a welcome addition to the preparations.

The aroma won over the troupes immediately but the real test was in the taste. Uprising is not shy on flavour. It’s a bold, hearty, full-flavoured blend with just a hint of chocolate. It is most certainly a smooth brew. The troupes noticed the smoothness immediately. A few had their coffee black, a couple with only a tip of milk and others did add milk and sugar but in far less quantities than their usual. Mission Accomplished!
