Taste what’s brewed through the various methods and increase your understanding of brewing techniques to highlight the amazing flavors and aromas in your beans.
The next PBS sessions are November 19 and December 17. The Saturday morning classes begin at 10am, lasting about two hours, and are held at Caffe Vita Capitol Hill at 1005 E. Pike Street. The classes are free and space is limited. To reserve your spot, please email Andy@caffevita.com.

Andy, Ethiopia, and Traceability…Part Two…
| December 13, 2010 |
| Watching her roast the coffee right in the living room was immediately thrilling, but as soon as the green beans started to near the second crack and then make the journey late into it, my taste buds started screaming… I now understand why there is loads of sugar in many of the coffee shops of Addis. |
Morning before the journey south: I awoke this morning to the sun just peaking over the hills of Addis, the prayers from the Orthadox Church next door echoing in the air, and the smoke of frankincense with another smell that was vaguely familiar wafting up through the corners of my door. In the days of no smoking in Seattle, one gets very confused when a wonderful smelling smoke is filling your room first thing in the morning. I followed the smoke down the stairs to our small living area and as soon I leaned into the room I quickly had to side step Marta, who was preparing a traditional coffee ceremony. I have heard of the traditional coffee ceremony in the states and now have seen it many times here in Addis, but at 6 a.m. in the morning!? You can imagine it put a huge smile on my face.
Stay tuned for more from Andy, from Ethiopia…

Successful Public Brewing School Last Weekend
| August 6, 2010
Caffé Vita’s Public Brewing School (PBS) has been a huge success since it launched last year. It’s no surprise our class last weekend was sold out. Everyone is always a bit weary coming in on a a Saturday morning, but as soon as our roaster and teacher for this session Jacob got the coffee flowing with a couple of French Press pots the class was as attentive as grad students in an exam review. If you’re interested in attending a PBS class, please keep checking in here for more information. Our next couple classes are scheduled for August 21st and September 11th. Until then, here’s a few pictures from last week:
