Angry Catfish in full swing!

Posted by Angry Catfish Bicycle and Coffee on February 1, 2010 at 6:46am
We have been open for two weeks now here at Angry Catfish Bicycles and Coffee. I am thrilled to say that we have gotten a great response from the community on what we are trying to do with coffee.

People are eager to learn and are excited to have us here. We are offering mostly classic drinks with no flavor shots and traditional sizes. Any time you try to do something new and a city is not used to it, it is scary. Every time I have been asked for a flavor shot in a latte and responded that we don't have flavors but our lattes are naturally sweet, customers are always happy to try it and are generally surprised and satisfied.

We have been more busy on the weekends and pretty slow during the week. I was very pleased today (Monday and my first day off) when I came into the shop to see almost every seat taken and people in line. The word is spreading. The quality of our coffee and the dedication of our baristas are both proving to speak for themselves. Thanks to everyone to support us in our new endeavor and we hope to be apart of a growing trend in the Twin Cities.

News - Technology ...Costa Rican engineers find solution to brewing coffee in space

Costa Rican engineers find solution to brewing coffee in spaceDec 8, 2008 - Two Costa Rican engineering students have a developed a coffee brewing device that can be used in space. So what's the problem you ask? Well apparently since space in confined to a vacuum -(and thus, lacks atmospheric pressure) any heat applied to water causes it to evaporate immediately. Thus making it impossible to brew a cup of coffee under normal conditions. Now for some physics: in order for water to boil the amount of heat applied needs to exceed that of its atmospheric pressure. Under most circumstances water has 1 atm or 14.7 psi "pressing" up against it , in locations with higher altitude - such as Denver, CO - water boils much more quickly due to reduced pressure. Check out the coffee brewing video which better explains the newly developed process.source:http://coffeechemistry.com
