Check out our new Nuova Simonelli espresso machine


We are very happy to announce that we now have a Nuova Simonelli Appia Compact V 2 group espresso machine set up in our show room for demonstrations, classes, and some good latte and espresso-making. Nuova Simonelli is one of the leading espresso equipment manufacturers in the world. In fact, their espresso machines were used in the World Barista Competition and the United States Barista Competition (the competition that Les Stoneham, one of our espresso class instructors, participated in). We are also selling other state of the art Nuova Simonelli equipment: the Grinta Grinder, Appia V 2 group espresso machine, Oscar home espresso machine, and the Aurelia 2 group. We'd love to have you come in and check it out!

Coffee Coke Float

June 30, 2009 by Marye Audet

  • 2/3 half and half (light) cream

  • 2 1/2 cups espresso, or strong coffee, cold (we suggest a real shot of Vienna Coffee's espresso con Robusta, but VCC's Sulawesi will also be a good start)

  • 1 -2 liter bottle of Coke

  • 1/2 cup Kahlua (this can be omitted for a non-alcoholic drink)

  • 4 frosted glasses

Mix the cream and the cold coffee

Add 2 tbs Kahlua to each glass

Place a scoop of the ice cream in each of four glasses

Half fill each glass with the coffee then fill up the rest of the way with Coke.
