Brew A Great Cup Every Time coffee class #1

What fun! 10 people signed up for the first ever session of our Brew A Great Cup Every Time coffee class and 12 people showed up! Including a lovely and patient 5 year old who sampled the double chocolate banana bread but didn't partake of the coffees.

We made coffee using a pourover AKA cone filter or dripper, French press, then the AeroPress 3 ways. And sampled coffee made with the Espro press at the end. The coffees were all tasty. I remembered almost all the tips I wanted to share. The feedback forms say that everyone learned something new and enjoyed themselves. 100% would recommend this to other coffee lovers so we may make this a regular thing. I also learned some helpful tips for making future sessions run more smoothly. Overall, a great success!

Thank you to The Healthy Road for donating the lovely kitchen space! And thanks to all you coffee lovers who joined me for this session!

50 Years since Brighton Beach

Sparkplug Coffee was honoured to be part of the 2014 Mods & Rockers event, bringing fresh brewed coffee to the start of the group ride. What coffees? The Bullit Custom and Kick Start blends, of course!

Sweet ride!

Sweet ride!

Party at the Duke

We then shared a booth with our buddies from Bullit Custom Cycle in the rain at the Duke for the "show & shine". Very cool that a bike built by Rob from Bullit was awarded best in show.

Amazing bikes, a great day, despite the rainy afternoon!

Merry Ugly Christmas Sweater Day!

Sparkplug Coffee Back at the Artisans Gift Fair

Sparkplug Coffee will be back at The Artisans' Gift Fair on Saturday & Sunday, Dec. 21 & 22 with FRESH roasted coffee and some nice coffee makers. Perfect for a cup at home or at work. Come by and say hello! Noon to 6PM at the Tranzac Club (292 Brunswick St. in the Annex). Lots of other great gift options at the Gift Fair, too! 

We'll have another batch of the UGLY Christmas Sweater blend available as well as buttons for $5 - proceeds to the Childrens' Wish Foundation via Ugly Christmas Sweater Day. Which is today - the 3rd Friday in December - but you can wear your ugly Christmas sweater and your buttons all month! And Do Good all next year, too.

Sparkplug Coffee now available!

Hello Coffee Lover!

I am pleased to announce that...

Sparkplug Coffee Debuted at the Artisans Gift Fair

We had a great time at the 2013 Artisans Gift Fair & Christmas Craft Show. The coffee was well received and we sold jars and bags of the three current coffee blends (Dark Sparks, Winter Tuneup and the gingery spicy Ugly Christmas Sweater blend) - even to people we'd never met before. Though I really appreciated the support and encouragement from friends and family who came by, too!

I'll be back at the Artisans Gift Fair the last weekend before Christmas - one more chance for those of you in Toronto to pick up some coffee or a gift certificate before Christmas. Come by between noon and 6PM on December 21 & 22 at the Tranzac Club (292 Brunswick St. just south of Bloor). I'll have some great coffee gift bundles, too!
