Paircafe Taste Science and Gimme! Coffee
Gimme! Coffee's Upstate Lab Series will be featuring a three-part program presented by Taste Science, LLC, and their new venture, Paircafé™. Taste Science, LLC is a local firm researching taste and flavor perception, and how different flavors can either clash or complement each other. Taste Science, LLC is a collaboration between Virginia Utermohlen Lovelace, MD and Chef Renée Senne and has pioneered work in pairing tea with food, under the name Pairteas™. They are now continuing this tradition with coffee by partnering with Gimme! Coffee.

NYC Experience
No matter how many times I visit New York City, I always feel like that country singer from Iowa stepping off the bus for the first time. I am forever in awe of its majesty and was truly looking forward to exploring Brooklyn (for the first time in years) and Soho, as my trip included visiting the three NYC Gimme! Coffee locations.

Cupping Training in Sumatra
The region of North Sumatra is known for the classic Mandheling and Lintong coffee profiles: earthy, spicy, and a low level acidity that can still ring sweet and balanced in a well sorted sample. However, deliveries of grade 1 and Specialty coffees are becoming less frequent as lack of information about good agricultural practices (GAP) is leading to more defective coffee lots.
Finger Lakes Lab Series Begins

Gimme! Coffee has a good use for that extra hour of sunlight. Starting this Wednesday we will begin our "Lab Series," which replaces our Saturday cuppings. The new format will take a more casual tasting setting and will be more conducive to just "popping in" ... and we hope you do.

Introducing Gimme! Coffee's New Lab Series in New York City
The Cupping Experience

A few days prior to getting hired at Gimme! Coffee, I was invited to a cupping event. Not knowing what to expect or what to wear, I showed up dressed in my usual black over black and soon discovered that was the dress code. Only wished I had remembered my scarf. Gimme! Coffee holds weekly cuppings at their labs in Ithaca and Brooklyn and the public is invited to attend.
