The new development nearby to Desert Ridge in Phoenix has opened and along with it the new Press Coffee. I’m planning to make a trip out there on Friday after Thanksgiving to check it out, and try the coffee. They opened on November 13th according to Steve Kraus, the owner/operator.
Press Coffee Food and Wine at 5410 E. High St. Suite 115, Phoenix, AZ 85054.
I just watched the CenPho.TV weekly video and they mentioned that Matt Pool from Matt’s Big Breakfast is planning to open a coffee shop soon near First Street and McDowell. Does anybody have any news on this?
Tomas just sent me this video link showing an astronaut demoing his new coffee cup in space. It’s interesting to watch no doubt.
Are any local shops open on Thanksgiving or planning to open early the day after Thanksgiving for shoppers?
Amy Anderson wrote in from Payson to update us on a few things. Apparently “Roadrunner Espresso is closed and Fireside is actually Fireside Espresso, not coffee.” Thanks Amy, I’ve updated our listings for Payson.
Has anybody read or watched the material available from David Schomer’s Professional Espresso Training Series. It looks like they have 2 videos and 1 book.
A coffeebar franchise in the UK has been noticed for its interesting branding efforts. Puccino’s introduces a new logo cup annually and it’s pretty cool stuff. Read the full story and see more photos over at Brand New.
I recently began reading Coffee Business Strategies, a blog run by Andrew Hetzel.
He’s posted some good articles and thoughts on coffee. Give it a read.
