Hi Aaron,

They are at; 10428 E Jomax Rd. Way up and out there by Pinnacle Peak. It’s a nice drive.

Thanks,

I stopped in today. Decadent interior design and they obviously spared no expense. The so-called Brazilian coffee machine is actually a La Cimbali super automatic, which is Italian made. The focus here is on cigars not coffee, but if your up that way it’s worth a look.

Chris, there was no disrespect intended. I love the concept, and I’d love to visit a shop like that, I just thought I’d reveal some of the supposed mystique about it.

Then again, the latest Brasilian CoE went for a ridiculous amount of money.

I’m glad you’re going to go up and try it Larry. I am curious as well to hear what it’s like. It’s quite the specialty and maybe that’s what makes it successful.

Jason: There may not be anything special about it but he’s blended a c0uple of things together that are apparently special to him and made them special to his customers.

Brazilian made coffee machine? For some reason, I’ve got a red flag flying up here.

I think maybe it’s a Brasilia (made in Italy) espresso machine.

It should also be noted that 90% of espresso blends BEGIN with a Brasilian base.

Not to be a nay-sayer, but there’s nothing special about it other than the pairing of coffee and cigars.. something that has been done many many times, but the establishments catering this sort of thing have dwindled significantly.

Larry, if you check it out, do give a detailed review, would you? I’d imagine your cupping skills are more than adequate.

Great concept, but not as exotic as portrayed.

Cigars and coffee! This sounds like my kind of place. The coffee machine has me interested as well. I’ll be sure to bring my camera.
