December 14th, 2011
It’s our favorite time of the year — Velton’s limited edition Holiday Blend is back! This year, Velton says he was inspired by fruitcake, combining two fruity coffees in a 50/50 blend that we found to have very chocolatey and berry flavors throughout. Watch Gail & Allison brew a couple of cups using Hario pourovers. [...]  Velton’s Coffee: Three New Single Origins
May 23rd, 2011
In our regularly rotated set of roasted-to-order single origins, we’ve had a few popular superstars. Last week, we swapped out the three previously featured beans with a new set that are delicious as espresso, pour over and even drip coffee, if that’s what floats your caffeinated boat. We’re now featuring a bright Mexico Nayarita (which [...] Cupping: Decaf Coffees
March 28th, 2011
Sometimes you just don’t want too much extra skip in your step, but you’re not willing to give up the flavor of a great cup of coffee. We asked the crew to blind taste the four different decaf coffees we carry — Lavazza, illy, Caffe Mauro and Velton’s — to determine which ones they thought [...] Cupping Velton’s Single Origin Coffees
February 23rd, 2011
We’ve been offering Velton’s Single Origins coffees via our roast-to-order program for several months now, and we just recently rotated out one available option for a new one: The Ethiopian Sidamo Moredocofe was cycled out to make room for the new Peru Pichanaki. This new variety is full bodied with a very sweet and buttery-smooth [...] Recipe: Mrs. Claus’ Brew
December 2nd, 2010
We give a lot of love to the espresso drinkers in the crowd, so thought we’d develop a sweet concoction for the drip coffee aficionados out there. This tastes almost as if there is a liqueur involved, but it’s non-alcoholic. Obviously, a state you are more than welcome to change. Ingredients 40 oz. drip coffee [...] Airscape Freshness Testing
November 22nd, 2010
What’s the best way to store beans? We’re often asked this question and we are performing few tests to see how different storage methods keep coffee tasty and fresh — and for how long. First up, we tested beans stored in the original roaster’s bag compared with beans store in an Airscape over a month [...] Velton’s Coffee – Selected Single Origins
November 15th, 2010
We’re excited to offer selected single origin beans from Velton’s Coffee on a roast-to-order basis! We’ll be sending over batch orders each Monday morning, they’ll be roasted and then shipped out within the following 48 hours. These selections will rotate on a semi-regular basis, depending on availability. Currently on tap are the following: Ethiopia Sidamo [...] SCG Store Opening Shindig: This Sunday

November 5th, 2010
It’s back and it’s better than ever — so sayeth the creator himself! This year’s batch of Velton’s special, limited edition blend crafted specifically for the holidays is a rich brew with hints of chocolate, nutmeg and strawberry-rhubarb. Sounds delicious, right? Well, according to Velton, this may be his best holiday blend yet. Featuring beans [...] Video Crew Review: Hario Cold Brew
June 8th, 2010
When the weather starts heating up, we love nothing better than a rich iced coffee drink. Seriously — nothing. In the past, we have be known to brew espresso directly into an iced cup or pour out hot-brewed drip or press coffee into an iced cup, knowing that there would be dilution in the mix. We are now converts, however, of the cold brew coffee preparation — specifically, Hario’s Cold Brew Pot makes a deliciously smooth and rich cup of coffee. |
