Alternative Coffee Brewing Methods Workshop

The computer caught some sort of really nasty virus and I have spend the weekend getting my laptop back in order. It isn't quite there yet but good enough at least to post a brief announcement for this Thursday's Alternative Coffee Brewing Methods workshop in Charlotte. I'll be heading up to the Dilworth Roastery as a presenter for the siphon brewing method. Siphons use the magical forces of physics to brew coffee. There are two chambers, a lower one, which is heated and an upper one where the coffee grinds go. When heat is applied to the lower chamber steam pressure pushes the water through a tube into the upper chamber, where it circulates with the coffee. When the heat is removed the pressure in the lower chamber transforms (magically) into vacuum and sucks the water (now brewed coffee) back down.

If that all sounds a little intimidating, confusing or remotely alchemical then you have a reason to trek up to Charlotte for this class. I'll be demonstrating the method and answering whatever questions participants have. It should be a lot of fun!
