A study shows that darker roasted coffee is easier on the stomach


Scientific American released an article on March 23, 2010 with the title, "Stomach Cells Happier with Dark Roast Coffee." This interesting article explains, "

In a study presented at the meeting of the American Chemical Society, food chemists found that dark roasting coffee produces a chemical compound that keeps stomach cells from producing the excess acid often caused by coffee drinking."

Great Lakes Barista Competition


Our friends Logan Demmy and Courtney Robinson put on a good show at this year's Great Lakes Barista Competition. In fact, their scores were best in their state, Ohio. Unfortunately this wasn't good enough to get them into the final round of the Great Lakes region, but we are still proud of them nonetheless.

Both participants had specialty drinks sure to make you wonder. Logan's specialty drink was a concoction of a fig and balsalmic reduction with a touch of creme anglais. Courtney's was created with roasted beets, celery seed, and pine nuts. Both intriguing in their own way. Who would have thought to put espresso with these combinations? Very interesting!

Good Job Logan and Courtney!
