This Sunday there will be a second showing in case you miss the first (or want to attend both) of Square Mile Espresso from the UK at Simon's on 1736 Mass Ave in Cambridge. This event will offer another of our west coast favorites on tap, Ritual Coffee Roasters. The espresso will be one of their 'Sweet Tooth' lineup and should be a nice contrast to the former WBC champ's blend.
On Saturday, you get to sample Andrew Barnett's Ecco Caffe espresso alongside the Squaremile Coffees (a very limited per cup drip offering of Finca Kilimanjaro from El Salvador will be offered but won't be cheap). Then on Sunday you get to sample the Square Mile Espresso up against Ritual Coffee's espresso. There is not much coffee to go around and it will go quickly so show up early!
My best suggestion is to come out and support both events which are both donating the proceeds to the NE Primate Sanctuary in what we are calling the 'James Hoffman likes Monkeys and so should you event!' I remember some time ago that Mr. Hoffman sponsored Chimpanzees at the London Zoo and since we were donating coffees at an auction for this cause, we thought this would be a good fit.

Event: Saturday Feb 28th 2-4pm 56 Brattle St. Cambridge MA
This Saturday we will be partnering with Hi Rise on Brattle St. to host an espresso event geared at showcasing some unique espresso from far away. Confirmed are espresso from Ecco Caffe on the West Coast and espresso from blogger turned roaster James Hoffman, the WBC champ in '07.
We recently sent some of our Linnaean St. espresso to Hoffman and he turned around and served it up at an event whose proceeds were donated to charity. In turn, we will be serving the London roasted espresso with one of our west coast favorites and donating proceeds to charity. More on that item later.
Mark the time and date on your calendar and block off a trip to Harvard Sq.

Hi-Rise is going through a lot of changes behind the counter with their new manager so it's worth a return trip for another look or a first time visit. They are featuring a brand spankin new coffee program that should be something to buzz about once it is up and running full speed. Espresso in Harvard Sq. won't be a crema-less experience anymore! See you there.
