#MorningCup ~ @GrimpeurBros Greenbelt #SingleOrigin ~ Weds Throwdown: #FrenchPress v. #CleverDripper! Can you tell which cup is Press & which is Clever? Brewing details are: 22g of coffee, 365g of H2O, 205F ~ only the grinds & processes we’re different. Which is better? Hmmmmm…They were both tasty but this morning the Press killed it. I used this French Press technique: http://bit.ly/QUmMkM ~ #Coffee #SpecialtyCoffee (Taken with Instagram)
Can you spot the difference? The tell is there…

DISCLOSURE #2: This is one of my all time favorite movies from the 90’s and Quentin Tarantino still can do no wrong in my book.
DISCLOSURE #3: I once dressed up as Vincent Vega for Halloween and my work bud went as Jules Winnfield. He needed a jeri curl wig over his natural but my hair was just like John Travolta’s wig. Oh and I had the black suit, black tie, and white shirt in my regular wardrobe. Heh. Oh da ’90s!

Did you know that Grimpeur Bros. #coffee bags are compostable? Just take off the labels, valve & metal twisty. And our bags turn into dirt. Completely. #ForRealz We use the latest, state-of-the-art Biotre #EcoFriendly bags that also keep our coffee fresher for longer than conventional bags. To learn more about our #dope bags, watch decomposition process videos @: http://www.grimpeurbros.com/pages/our-eco-bags At the #ATX HQ, our compost pile looks great and you can’t find our bags after 3 months or so. #EarthFriendly #Composting #WeCare #espresso #specialtycoffee #grimpeur #cycling

DISCLOSURE #2: It’s true. I have a compost pile (Austin, TX…hullo!). #ClosetHippie

17.0 #Piermont #Microlot #SingleOrigin #Pacamara #coffee from #ElSalvador - Clean cup of sweet tropical fruit & floral notes.
Yesterday @concrete_gold asked about our #aeropress technique. In case you missed it, here it is: inverted aeropress, 17g coffee coarse ground (my personal preference is btw Chemex & French Press grinds), 220g of H2O @ 207-208F, quick stir @ 100g of H2O, & then fill to 220g, make sure the paper filter is pre-wetted w/hot water, twist on & secure the filter cap onto the top of the aeropress tube, gently set a cup on top of the filter & flip w/cup on top so you don’t spill, then press down w/30lbs of pressure until liquid is in the cup but don’t press all the way down to the grounds - then enjoy!
Note: experiment with your aeropress technique. The way I brew is a combo of techniques I learned from talking to baristas at Joe Pro Shop in NYC and from a recipe by the runner up in the Aeropress Barista World Championships (yes there is such a thing). Da aeropress can be unwieldy at first but once you get it down, they deliver luvly cups of coffee. #specialtycoffee #coffeegeek
DISCLOSURE #1: I am a Co-Founder and one of the Grimpeur Bros.
DISCLOSURE #2: I sucked at using an aeropress at first. Now I can brew and deliver tasty cups time after time. It’s all about practice and the right technique. If I can do it, anyone can. Brewing great coffee at home is chemistry class.
