Simmer Down: Pouring Over A Pour Over

October 19, 2012

This week on Simmer Down, the South’s own coffee roasting revolutionary, Philip Brown, sits down with Brenda and Libbie. Listen along as the ladies learn what goes into the perfect cup of coffee and interesting facts like how many people (from farmer to barista…nothing creepy) touch your beans before you drink them. This podcast is a little longer than most, but it was super interesting and we had a hard time getting Philip to take a breath! Enjoy a pour over with us.

A Roasting Revolutionary

October 16, 2012

So there’s this guy in Athens, Georgia, making a living washing dishes and playing in a band. He could marry his long-term girlfriend and settle down, but that would be too conventional. And when you’re an early twenties dishwashing drummer with an unarticulated dream, you expect more from life.

A lot of stories begin like this and most end shortly thereafter with a bloated and lonely middle-aged man eating Slim Jims and playing World of Warcraft on his mom’s calico sofa. That is, unless you’re Philip Brown.

Inspired by Coffee

October 15, 2012

Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion. It’s texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week our inspiration is coffee. Bright, baggy, buttery, bready, bitter and baked. Cool beans roasted by cool people. Enjoy a cup or two or twelve with us. We’ll see you in the unisex bathroom line.
