January 2nd, 2012
As a new year dawns, we wanted to take a moment to thank you for your business! After nearly 7 years in this game, we are still having fun playing with coffee and trying to do the best work that we can to meet your needs. We hope that our commitment to knowledge and consistent [...]  Choose Your Own Adventure: Selecting an Espresso Machine
December 16th, 2011
There are hundreds of espresso machines on the market, who knows where to even start?! We often receive feedback from folks researching gear that it’s overwhelming to determine which machine would best fit their needs, why they’d choose one type of machine over the other or how their budget might impact functionality or features. To [...] Happy Thanksgiving!
November 24th, 2011
Here in the US, it’s about to get real around dinner tables from coast to coast — a cornucopia of harvest victuals surrounding a lovingly roasted turkey. Personally, we take this opportunity every year to exact a little bit of cosmic revenge on the crew of wild turkeys that fervently chased us through the jungles [...] SCG Named on Inc.’s List of Fastest Growing Companies!
August 23rd, 2011
We love what we do and it often doesn’t seem like work, but it’s still pretty awesome to be recognized for our creativity and commitment to building an honest, sustainable business. This year, we were named on Inc.’s annual list of fastest growing private companies — we ranked #960 out of 5000! Given that there [...] Introducing the Crossland Coffee CC1
May 31st, 2011
Always on the lookout for new gear, we were excited by the prospect of a new entry-level machine being shepherded through development and into production by Bill Crossland, who previously designed the La Marzocco GS/3. Over the past year, we were lucky enough to play with different iterations of this machine, give general feedback on [...] Seattle Coffee Gear’s Refurbishment Center
March 8th, 2011
Lately, we’ve been posting a slew of crew reviews (!), covering all the new refurbished machines we have available. We are a certified refurbishment center, specializing in Saeco machines, eventually taking on more models down the line. Gail checked in with the lead of the refurb team, Patrick, to talk with him about how the [...] Happy New Year!
December 31st, 2010
2011 is the year of the rabbit (yes, we know it doesn’t actually kick in on that shizz until February) and that means it’s going to be lucky, fluffy and cute! Of course. With so many changes and such awesome growth over the past year, we want to thank all of you who have contributed [...] Ho, Ho, Ho! Santa Needs a Drink!
December 24th, 2010
A caffeinated drink, of course! Well, okay, there might be a little whiskey thrown in there for good measure. We have made it through another raucous holiday season and it was a blast. We hope that all of you have a festive, joyous and fun-filled weekend, enjoying any new gear you may have picked up [...] Limited Stock: Solis Non-Pressurized Portafilters
December 17th, 2010
In our quest for non-pressurized portafilters for the smaller Saeco semi-automatic machines, we were able to source the final inventory of the portafilters manufactured by Solis for their now-discontinued SL70 and SL90 machines. These are made of a higher quality of materials than some of the other non-pressurized portafilters available, and are a bit more [...] Seattle Coffee Gear’s New Store Tour
December 10th, 2010
It took us a little while to settle ourselves in, but here we are with an updated store tour of the new location. Watch Gail as she shows us around. |
