While espresso is our specialty, we offer the finest brewed (or drip) coffee in our area. In an effort to expand the choices available to customers, we also offer press pots to our dine-in customers.  We monitor everything from cake depth to water temperature, exposure time to coffee/water ratio. We feel that we produce coffee the way it is supposed to be made.

Both stores offer three drip coffees before noon each day: Armando’s Blend, Armando’s Blend Decaf, and a selected Dark Roast coffee which may be an origin coffee or a blend. The Granville shop also offers a light roast blend or a light to medium roast origin coffee each morning. To view a description of all of our coffees, please go to the “Coffee Selections” menu option.

We recently began offering 16 oz. press pot coffee to our dine-in customers. This coffee preparation process allows our customers to receive an absolutely fresh ground, fresh brewed cup of coffee at any hour of the day…and we always provide a variety of origin and blends and roast levels from which to choose. The press pot brewing process takes about four minutes and customers enjoy being able to pour small amounts of coffee from the pot while drinking to keep their brew hot.

Some pros and cons for the press pot option…

The positives:

• your coffee is fresh ground and fresh brewed just for you!;
• you have a wider choice of origin coffees and blends as
  well as roast levels from which to choose. We typically have at least
  5-6 options which always include at least one dark roast, one
  fair-trade and 3-4 origin coffees and blends;
• you can leave the coffee in the press pot and pour smaller quantities as you drink; and
  
• since the press pot does not use a paper filter, you savor the taste of all of the beans’ flavors and oils.

The negatives:

• the coffee preparation process takes about four
  minutes…so it’s not conducive to the drive-thru customer or the
  customer who is running late for work; and
  
• since the press pot does not use a paper filter, you
  savor the taste of all of the beans’ flavors and oils (this can be a positive or a negative depending on your personal taste preferences!)
