Quills Drinks: French Press Coffee

In our efforts to offer the best in coffee, we use different brew methods to serve up Quills’ finest. In October our coffee connoisseurs will be seeing some changes. In addition to our fancy espresso, we will be offering our now morning only French press coffee all day! In addition to our desire to offer a variety for Quills’ loyal patrons, the French press method allows more nuance of flavor to be experienced in each cup.

By controlling the temperature and a slower brew where the grounds are exposed to the water equally and for the same amount of time, the flavor mingles to produce a rich cup of coffee.

This method, coined so by its legendary French roots allegedly developed in the 1850s, was not patented until 1929 by Italian designer Attilio Calimani. So when in France would you ask for a ‘French press’? Why no, you would be hip to their lingo and ask for cafetière à piston, or simply press coffee. See, drinking Quills Coffee makes you smarter.

In addition to our fancy plunger coffee we use single origin coffees, so that each coffee can be tasted to its fullest. We are for equal opportunity coffee tasting, giving each one the chance to shine for its unique qualities. Stay tuned for more info on the changes Quills is making for a higher coffee quo.

Quills Drinks: PT's Espresso

In an effort to amp up our coffee quo, Quills is offering an espresso blend from PT’s Coffee. A small batch roaster located in Topeka, KS, PT’s has been rated tops in the coffee industry for many years. Nabbing the coveted Roaster of the Year in 2009 by Roast Magazine, their quality is no joke. Quills will be pulling shots of their Flying Monkey Espresso. Bragging a full range of flavors from savory to sweet, this balanced, full bodied espresso will go nicely in a cappuccino, macchiato or your drink of choice.

You might have also noticed Quills preparing for this increase in the coffee quo by adding a new grinder to our quality equipment behind the bar. The new Anfim Milano grinder has titanium burrs, a timed grind and it’s sparkly. All qualities that are crucial to the quality standard we hold at Quills. We love coffee, you should too.
