Lots going on this week. We have some new coffees in. A Brazilian Porta Rossa, a melt-your-face Java Kali Bendo, and a Costa Rican Diamante. We've also been working on our blends and packaging so samples will be available shortly. We'll be adding our cupping reports and prices soon to the website.
In other news, we'll be heading out to Seattle tomorrow to checkout Coffeefest and visit with some friends from Victrola, and steal Tony's profile book. Apparently, the real excitment this weekend isn't taking place at Coffeefest, but down the street at the soon-to-be Victrola roasting works. The Vickies have set-up a temporary coffee speakeasy featuring a 2-group Synesso and the debut of the Clover 1. Check out www.victrolacoffee.net for more info on this groundbreaking brewing device. We'll be covering as much of the happenings as we can via iPod and Digi-Cam. Check our website next week for "The Uglies do Seattle".

So it seems that despite our insistance on doing whatever the hell we want, we cannot. The supporting evidence came in the form of a "cease and desist" letter from a certian coffee company asking us to change our name or face their wrath. And while we like wrath, we don't like court costs. So as a result, The Ugly Mug Cafe of Ypsilanti will soon be sporting a flashy new name, Caffe Behemoth (patent pending). We wish the best of luck to The Ug*y M*g Cof*ee Comp*ny, I'm sure their Snickerdoodle Coffee is way awesome...
