How to Brew – V60

Learning How To Brew coffee can be an overwhelming and complex process. We are here to help. Check out some videos, recipes, and techniques; then swing by and grab some coffee. Ask us questions and then go home and practice. Whatever happens don’t get discouraged, it takes time to perfect the art of brewing a great cup. Enjoy.

The V60 is our tried and true method we use everyday in the cafe. And we want you to know how to do it too. Cheers.

Coffee Tasting – May 19th

We often get asked what why there are so many methods of brewing coffee and what makes one different from another. Now we could go into the scientific detail of all that, but frankly what matters most is taste. Join us this Saturday, May 19th, for a tasting of 2 very different methods for brewing coffee and see for yourself what you prefer, and while you’re there talk to us about what you like and dislike. Don’t miss it, especially since our very own Justin will be hosting the tasting, and really you want to get to know this guy, especially over some great coffee.

Featured Coffee – Rwanda, Coko

featured coffee

Roaster: Heart Coffee Roasters 
Country: Rwanda
Region: Coko Co-op
Varietal: Bourbon
Process: Wet Process

The Rwanda Coko. This coffee exemplifies the growth and excitement surrounding coffee in Rwanda.

Coko is the name of a small cooperative made up of approximately 500 farmers. This coffee was sourced for Heart Coffee Roasters by Coffee Shrub, a small importer dedicated to sourcing quality coffee using the Direct Trade Model. This coffee is part of the Farm Gate Program which ensures each farmer is paid at least 50%, but often 100%, more than the Fair Trade price.

This coffee jumps out of the cup with aromas of roses and jasmine. As soon as you take your first sip you’ll notice a milk chocolate flavor with a smooth texture and a hint of citrus. As the coffee cools it becomes sweeter and brighter, with notes of bing cherries and citrus zest.

A truly delicious cup, come stop by the café and try it for yourself.

Our Roasters – Insight Coffee Roasters

If you don’t already know we are what some call a “multi-roaster cafe”. That simply means that we scour the country to find the best coffee roasters and then bring them to Sacramento to be served at our cafe. We believe that there is no “holy grail” of coffee or coffee roasters, but rather each roaster offers different, equally amazing, coffees, roasted in their own unique styles, letting us provide you and Sacramento with a wide selection of amazing coffees to enjoy. We carry 4 different coffee roasters at any given time and once every month we drop one off and bring a new one on, giving you something new to experience every month. We are extremely proud to be bringing Sacramento the best coffees from around the country and the globe. Here is a little highlight from one of our coffee roasters.

Insight Coffee Roasters & Broadacre Coffee

 

Located: Sacramento, CA
Current Coffees: Brazil, Royal Select Swiss Water Decaf
About: Not to often do you see passion, hard work, dedication, and raw talent come to fruition so beautifully. Lucky and Ben are long time Sacramento coffee friends of ours and we have seen them grow from baristas to managers, roasters, and now business owners. We are proud to know these two guys and to be able to serve there coffee at Broadacre. They bring some low down, genuine, hospitality and craft to Sacramento that is a breath of fresh air to any coffee drinker. These are two of the realest and nicest guys we know and we love supporting them.

Here is a little bit about them from their web site:

 Insight Coffee Roasters was created to share their coffee-obsessed passion and knowledge with coffee lovers everywhere.  After many years of experience in the coffee industry, Lucky Rodrigues and Benza Lance wanted to create a unique coffee culture centered around their coffee-maven mindset and ethical core values.  In 2011, they partnered with some entrepreneurial coffee enthusiasts who shared their desire to provide a better coffee experience for the community.

We are thrilled to share our passion and knowledge with anyone who is interested in the beautiful complexity of the coffee craft.  From us, to you, an INSIGHT into the world of coffee.

If you are not currently getting your coffee from us, we sure hope your getting it from these guys. If you find us drinking coffee at another cafe in Sacramento, it’s probably here. Community is something Broadacre and Insight share similar views on, so support your local Sacramento coffee community.
