Mequon: Snapshots: Fiddleheads Coffee Roasters

I'm catching the tail end of the Fiddleheads roasting launch party at the location on N. Port Washington Rd. in Mequon.  I've enjoyed meeting and chatting with a lot of great people.  At age 36 and as a semi-seasoned observer of the local coffee scene, It's rare that I'm really and truly blown away by an event.  The spacious cafe was packed with a standing-room only crowd when I arrived at 12:45, about fifteen minutes before the announced end of the event.  I wasn't aware that Fiddleheads had such a loyal coffee following; since I always have been here on Saturday around noontime, I'd formed a stereotype of the cafe as mostly a lunch place--albeit a very comfortable one!  That's one of the main reasons why I was so excited to hear the news of the launch of this ambitious new coffee program.

This was a coffee tasting, after all, and the taste of the coffee surpassed my high level of excitement.  Three varieties were being sampled: the Costa Rica La Dama Tres Rios, the Ethopia Harrar Gorecha, and the Papua New Guinea Kuta.  Steve, the roaster, has sent me home with two samples of beans that will fuel a late-evening work session tonight.  (Not all at once, of course!)

And to think I get to do it again the next two Saturdays!

Hey Michael,

-first time reader here! And I am loving the blog. ;)

Even for such a short post you really drew me in and made me jealous. I am wishing I was there for this launch party. Sounds fun! I would love to hear what your thoughts are on the coffee they gave you to try. Did they keep you up all night?

keep up the good work! I would love to see if we could work together on something sometime.
