Monthly Coffee Cuppings hosted by

We are hapy to be back on a regular schedule with our Monthly Coffee Cuppings! We offer free coffee cuppings the last Saturday of every month, starting at 9am and lasting for an hour. The cupping will offer 5 or 6 coffees for side by side blind tasting. The Cupping will involve smelling, sipping and slurping each coffee while taking notes on all the flavors, the body, the acidity and the overall balance of the coffee. After tasting the various coffees, we will discuss what it is we tasted, what we liked and did not like, the history of the region, and the attributes of the coffee. It's a great way to learn more about the beverage most of us drink every day.

Boulder's First Bike Corral!

We've converted one automobile parking space into bicycle parking for many! I've seen up to 15 bikes in the corral! That means more sidewalk space!!

Special thanks to Go Boulder, the City of Boulder, Bike to Work Month, and Boulder Parking. It was everybody's efforts that made this happen! Nice work folks!

...but remember, no motorized vehicles in the bike corral please!

That's a $30 ticket on that motorcycle!
