Look for a short article about CREMA in the Tennessean’s Weekend paper by Dana Kopp Franklin. Dana spoke to us about our new extended hours during Titans games (post update: we are not open during Titan’s games, sorry) and more importantly our new exclusive CREMA Espresso blend – created by us in the CREMA Coffee Lab, a secret hidden layer in the belly of Nashvegas. Ok, I made that up, but we did create it and it is hand roasted to perfection by Drew’s Brews so you know it’s good!

Dana writes, “…Lehman who takes a seriously gourmet approach to coffee has added a second variety of espresso brew… now she and her co-workers have designed CREMA Espresso Blend, uniting beans from two different Ethiopian regions with a little Indonesian coffee.”

Our new CREMA Espresso Blend is in addition to our standard Zappia Family Espresso blend, you now have a choice between two great espresso blends for your Cortado, Cuban, or Americano!

Please note that the CREMA Espresso 101 class this Saturday is all booked. Stay tuned if you’re interested in a follow up, we’re planning a video for those who miss the class. It will be posted as a CREMA College of Coffee video on our YouTube channel.

A tutorial demonstrating how to properly dose, tamp and pull two shots of espresso using a naked portafilter. Enjoy!

There’s not much we love more than coffee, except mac n cheese! It is most tasty!

Rumored to arrive next week in our latest email newsletter, the cheesey goodness arrived earlier than expected from the Sweet 16th Bakery… today! If you missed our September email newsletter here’s a copy: CREMA September 2008 Newsletter (join the list here)
