Airscape® O-JOE Coffee Storage Containers
Regular price
$34.99
We came across Airscape® because we love fresh coffee. In fact, buying coffee in a plastic bag usually means that the coffee was roasted several weeks or months ago. To keep coffee fresh, I remember the days of buying bulk coffee from Costco and putting a bunch in the freezer. Although this practice can work for keeping coffee fresh, the best way is by having no oxygen in the storing of your coffee.
Storing food in traditional “air-tight” kitchen canisters is like locking a hundred 8-year olds in a candy store overnight. Sure the store is locked but what good is that – the sugar eaters are inside with the candy! So it goes with most air-tight canisters as they actually lock the food-destroying air tightly INSIDE with your food, slowly eating away its freshness and flavor. Air-tight kitchen canisters are fine for food storage if all you’re trying to accomplish is food “storage” – but why just “store” when you can “preserve”?
The AirScape kitchen canisters are different. They are the wise chaperones, scuttling the 8-years olds OUT of the candy store and locking them out! With its patented inner lid and valve, the AirScape forces the food-destroying air out of the food storage canister away from your food, extending the life of your coffee, tea, flour, sugar, cereal, seeds, herbs, nuts, pet food or any perishable really, multiple times over.
Designed of durable, BPA-Free, restaurant-grade stainless steel not only are the AirScape kitchen canisters non-toxic and nearly impossible to break, but they are also stain and odor resistant thus they won’t impart flavors. In other words, they can be used for coffee storage one day, brown sugar the next and your brown sugar won’t taste like coffee. This characteristic makes them the absolute perfect container for food storage.
Fresh just tastes BETTER, so do more than just store it – preserve it with the AirScape food storage kitchen canisters. The only kitchen canisters that are so effective you can actually hear them preserve your food.

Baratza Encore
Regular price
$199.00
If you were to receive one solid piece of advice when equipping your home with coffee equipment, it would be to buy a really good grinder before anything else!
The Encore is lauded by coffee experts as THE go-to entry level grinder for those brewing coffee at home. The Encore gives a great grind for drip/manual brew and also grinds fine enough for espresso.
Featuring 40 individual grind settings, from fine to coarse, the Encore can please any palate with its gamut of accurate and repeatable grind settings. The Encore has an accurate medium to coarse grind for the increasingly popular manual brew methods such as pour-over, Aeropress, Siphon and Chemex. The specially designed burrs give a precise grind with minimal fines for a flavorful, balanced extraction when making espresso.
And, of course, the Encore is built with the quality Baratza parts you’ve come to trust. The efficient DC motor keeps your beans cool, even during extended grind times, while a combination of electric and gear speed reducers slow the burr to 450 RPM, ensuring a smooth bean feed and reducing noise, heat and static buildup.
Beyond a great coffee-drinking experience, the Encore makes for a great coffee-making experience. A convenient, front-mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind on demand into your brew basket. Whether you are looking for an espresso grinder or a grinder to help you explore that extensive range of brew methods, the Encore is a great all around home grinder.
Burrs: Manufactured in Europe, the Encore’s 40 mm conical burrs will grind for many styles of coffee. Conical burrs grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years.
Gearbox: In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0, Baratza has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission while decreasing noise. In addition to a new drive shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this change includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than the prior metal gear, wears better and is more shock resistant. During the Encore’s rigorous testing process, stainless steel screws were thrown into the burrs, and in every case the motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the (automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was triggered, and the gears were fine.
Grind Adjustment: Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.
Grinds Left in Grinder: To maximize freshness, the Encore minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.
Brewing Methods: The Encore is a great grinder for manual brewing and espresso.
Motor: A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
Calibration: An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated.
Speed Control: With unique speed control, the Encore uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in the event that specific user conditions require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
On-off Switch: The Encore has an easy on-off switch.
Cleaning: Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy.
Want to add more beans to your hopper and avoid having to refill more often? Add this hopper extender to any Baratza grinder to increase your capacity.

Brazil - Peaberry - Medium Roast
Regular price
$6.00
Dark Roast
Fine Citric Acidity
Full Bodied
Chocolate, Nuts, Berries
Peaberry, known in Spanish as caracolillo, is a type of coffee bean. Normally the fruit ("cherry") of the coffee plant contains two seeds ("beans") that develop with flattened facing sides, but sometimes only one of the two seeds is fertilized, and the single seed develops with nothing to flatten it.
All coffees are arabica and grown between 1800 m - 2000 m above sea level. The Brazilian coffee is from Cachoeira da Grama in Mogiana by Gabriel Dias' family farm.
The varietals included in this unique blend are:
Bourbon
Brazil • Cachoeira da Grama • Dark Roast

Literally meaning "grass waterfall" in Portuguese, this coffee will take you to the rainforests of Brazil without leaving your living room!
You'll get notes of black cherry, mixed with chocolate and nuts. Low acidity and very smooth, almost creamy!
We met Gabriel Carvalho Dias a few years back and always wanted to work with his family farm. This amazing natural processed, sustainably grown coffee leaves lingering notes of marzipan, black cherry & toffee. It's rich yet very low in acidity! Perfect for any brew method (even espresso), but really amazes us as a pour over or as a heavy bodied french press.
The Farm:
Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama has been in the Carvalho Family since 1890. Gabriel de Carvalho Dias, the owner, is responsible for the property's management. It is located 3 miles from minas Gerais state line and has characteristics from the mountainous areas of Mogiana and from Sul de Minas. On this farm everything is done manually, which includes coffee plantain and harvesting, since its topography does not allow for any kind of mechanization.
The Environment:
Social and environmental sustainability is considered very important in the farm management. Gabriel has developed a program of planting native species to keep a better ecological balance. The farm has a school, a club and an official size soccer field for the employees'bejefit. There are 48 houses for the employees and their families, all with modern facilities. The wastewater is treated to avoid polluting the stream that runs across the farm.
The altitude of the coffee is between 1000-1250 meters above sea level and precipitation is between 1800-2000mm per year with an average temperature of 19 degrees celsius.Perfect for coffee!
Processing:
Coffee is harvested manually on cloth, preventing the beans from getting in touch with the soil. The harvested coffee is immediately transferred from the productions fields to washers, with the separation of the cherry and the green beans from the dry beans, which are sent to the terrace to dry. The cherry and the green beans are processed by the coffee pulper, where the cherry beans are pulped and separated from the green coffee.
The coffee is dried under the sun on paved patios until dry, or on a second option, until the beans reach 20% humidity when the coffee is transferred to driers to reduce humidity to 11%. Subsequently, coffee is stored is warehouse, in wood silos, with low humidity level and free from doors that can affect coffee.
Here is a great article on why we believe traceability is more important than certification:

What is a Coffee Sock?
The Coffee Sock may just be the best and easiest way to make great coffee. It is a cloth (usually fine cotton/muslin) shaped like a filter or sock in which ground coffee is loaded and then boiling water is added. There are varying designs, from the very complex to the very simple. We prefer the simple as they taste great and cost little.
What grade coffee grind should I use with my Coffee Sock?
You can use any grind (fine to course), however we recommend using an extra find grinded coffee for the best taste and a stronger brew.
How long can I reuse my Coffee Sock for?
If you take good care of your Coffee Sock it could last years! The estimated life span of a frequently used Coffee Sock is 6-12 months. If the Coffee Sock is not allowed to dry it may become mouldy and this is the end for that Coffee Sock (however this can be avoided! – Refer to ‘How do I clean my Coffee Sock?)
How do I clean my Coffee Sock?
Cleaning your Coffee Sock is easy. Firstly dispose of the used coffee and then rinse it under the tap until all used coffee is removed. Now hang the Coffee Sock somewhere to allow it to dry out. Simple.
We strongly recommended against the use of any cleaning agents/chemicals being used to clean your Coffee Sock. These will not only shorten the life of the Coffee Sock but will impact the taste of further coffee.
My Coffee Sock looks dirty and I cannot get it white again!
When you first get your Coffee Sock it’s a lovely white, but after a few uses it becomes stained with the colour of coffee. This is not a bad thing! The Coffee Sock absorbs the oils in coffee and this will add to the flavour of your coffee. Yes it may look ugly but rest assured that it will still make a great cup of coffee. In fact we believe the older a Coffee Sock gets the better the coffee it makes tastes! (this assumes it is cleaned and dried out after reach use)
How does the Coffee Sock brew my coffee?
The Coffee Sock uses the steeping method to extract the goodness from your fresh coffee beans. Steeping means to soak or saturate to extract flavour.
We would suggest socks for your feet belong on your feet. Feet socks are not normally fine enough to brew coffee and you have that fluff, lint and detergent taste too! So in short no you can't do the same thing with a pair of your socks!

Although not certified organic, O-JOE partnered with Mamá Chena Coffee Co. because they are directly related to the finca that produces this unique coffee. The Sierra Nevada Region is not widely known for Colombian coffee, but this unique location allows its farmers to grow foods organically, without the use of harsh synthetic fertilizers. What's more fascinating is the story behind Finca El Recreo - Alberto Sepulveda Explains:
"In 1917 my great-grandparents Papa Fin and Mama Lina traveled north to the Caribbean coast region of Colombia to Santa Marta with the intention of emigrating to Cuba to work in the sugar cane plantations. Whether it was fate, luck, or both, they missed the steamboat and had to then find temporary work in Santa Marta and wait for the next sailing.
Destiny took them to work in the coffee farms, located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Working there Papa Fin had the opportunity to explore the landscape and discovered a dream that, within a few decades, would become a reality.
Papa Fin and Mama Lina had 9 children who helped them with the plot of land he was given. Among those children was Mama Chena. The family grew the land into a farm, and were able to become independent. In 1947, they acquired several more hectares in the region. Some of these lands are still in possession of Papa Fin's grandchildren. These farms are where Mama Chena's coffee comes from.
In 2007 at the age of 17, I traveled north to Canada on my own. Almost a year later I was joined by my family and we have been plowing away in London, Ontario planting roots in this place we now call home.
I grew up hearing stories about my great-grandfather Papa Fin and his farm. Since arriving, we have wondered how we could bridge the stories of our past and our present via coffee from our family farms. A coffee with a story to tell; a coffee that has seen just about everything.
In 2017, named after my grandmother Argenida, Mama Chena Coffee Co. was born. 100 years after my great-grandparents migrated to Santa Marta. Whether it was fate, luck, or both, we have to yet find out.
1917, 1947, 2007, 2017… Let's see what the next 100 years bring."
At Carolina’s Colombia we are focused on growing our coffee beans using traditional methods. On our farm, shade-grown trees produce a superior bean and they also provide a valuable habitat for migratory birds, wildlife and other endangered species.
Most importantly, they are our beans, which means we control all aspects of their growth and harvest including:
Land selection
Genetic origin
Worker selection
Weeding without the use of herbicides
Procedures for picking, fermenting, washing, selecting, drying and husking
Transport and storage
By managing all aspects of process we can guarantee consistent quality of our beans from land to shelf.
Benefits of Shade-Grown Beans:
Taste: Shaded conditions create a cooler setting and, like coffee grown at higher altitudes, the growth of the bean is slower. This creates a denser, harder bean, and that is what roasters and coffee experts look for in quality coffee.
Provides bird habitat and greater biodiversity: Shade-grown helps generate more biodiversity, and leads to a more stable ecosystem. The forest provides a safe habitat for birds that eat insect larvae, and in turn, reducing the need for pesticide use. It also offers support for more bees that help pollinate the coffee plants. On that note, yes we also import the unique flavoured Honey produced by local artisanal apiculturists.
Helps sustain rainforests: Coffee plantations that are chemically dependent suffer from soil depletion and increased erosion. The rainforest is stripped to provide fresh growing ground. Shaded coffee farms are, for the most part, organic and sustainable. The canopy is constantly dropping natural biomass to the plantation soil … thus maintaining complete sub-soil ecosystems.
Benefits of High Altitude Grown Beans
Our farm is at 1,400 meters above sea level and our coffee is considered “high altitude” grown. High altitude reduces the quantity yielded but results in more desirable flavour.
Benefits of Hand selected beans
Experienced pickers know to only select the ripe beans from each plant at each of numerous passes over two months. They also know how to remove the fruit without damaging stems and leaves. This is especially in contrast to high yield – lower quality machine-harvested beans.
