Dancing Mule Coffee and friends has all the people affected by the recent deadly tornado in Joplin on our minds. To help, we’ve partnered with Convoy of Hope as a drop-off site for donations of bottled water and canned goods. Bring your donations by, and we’ll make sure they get to Convoy of Hope for those who need it most.
Pourover Brewed Coffee
Have you ever brewed coffee at home and been dissatisfied with the results? Join us Saturday, April 9 at 1 pm for a Coffee Brewing class at Dancing Mule Coffee. We will discuss and demonstrate the French Press, Chemex, and Pourover brewing methods. We will also examine the proper water/coffee ratio, grind, water temperature, and technique for each method. Learn how different coffee varietals, blends, and roasts are affected by different techniques. It’s your chance to ask the burning coffee question that’s been simmering in the back of your mind in a comfortable environment.
Dancing Mule Coffee will be hosting a free Coffee Cupping on Saturday, March 26 at 11 am. Cupping is the formalized process for tasting and evaluating coffee. We will observe the general rules for cupping; however, as with many other things at Dancing Mule, formality is relative. The object will be to learn about tasting coffee, begin to describe the coffee, and learn how different growing areas, processing methods, and roast levels affect the taste. We will taste four different coffees and have plenty of time for questions about tasting and brewing coffee.
Dancing Mule Coffee is changing our espresso to PT Coffee’s new Southpaw Blend. We have used the Gizmo Blend since opening day, so this is not a change we take lightly. Southpaw is more subtle and smoother in a milk drink than Gizmo and way more interesting as a straight shot with layers of flavor. It is well balanced, achieving a complex and sweet flavor profile and has enough body to punch through a latte. Southpaw has a sparkling tangerine acidity, juicy cherry sweetness, all grounded with rich milk chocolate and cocoa notes. The texture is syrupy and dense, lending itself well to combining with milk, creating a malty milk chocolate flavor.
We are excited to share this new espresso with you, and we think you will be pleased with the change.
