Heading towards fall, we are delighted to welcome our friends from Olympia Coffee Roasting Company as our next Resident beginning September 12! With several cafe’s across the city serving their beans, Olympia Coffee is no stranger to Seattle. Their residence at the Cafe however, will serve as somewhat of a sneak-peak into October, when they are scheduled to open their first location outside of Olympia right here in West Seattle.

As their residence comes to a close, we send our sincere thanks all the way down to New Zealand and Australia where Coffee Supreme calls home. We know it takes the effort of many hands to launch a residence and we want each one to know how much we appreciate the hard work. We specifically want to thank Al Keating, Douglas Johns, Sophie Evans, Patrick Janowicz, and Jonny Calder. From providing countless details to training our staff, haggling with US customs and traveling across the globe, you are all legends! It’s been a pleasure serving your coffee and representing the fun and hospitable company that is Coffee Supreme.

Together with Coffee Supreme and Cafe Imports, we will be hosting the 2017 United States AeroPress Championship at the Cafe this Wednesday, September 6. It will be an evening of intense competition as the competitors battle for the United States title and a trip to Seoul, Korea to compete in the World Championships. We’d love to have a huge crowd cheering them on – spectator tickets are still available for just one dollar and include complimentary coffee and beer. Hope to see you there!

With just a week left in Coffee Supreme’s residence at the La Marzocco Cafe, there is still a lot of good coffee to experience and two big events not to miss!

In addition to their current line-up of coffee, Supreme has introduced a Limited Blend for the last two weeks of their residence. With notes of orange, black currant and cacao, it is made to be brewed as espresso and we recommend trying it as a pure shot or in an elegant cappuccino.
