Crow's Coffee

I was stuck waiting for my husband while he took care of some paperwork the other day.  Lucky for me I was stuck at UMKC and Crow's Coffee is right there.  I had not been in, but I've heard good things.  They serve Messenger Coffee and  the staff knows coffee.  I view coffee as an art and I appreciate people who know how to do more than push a button to make the machine work.  

It's a cute place.  Lots of room - which is good since it's across the street from the University.  A mix of table sizes with some outdoor seating too.

It's decorated with an assortment of unusual and artistic crows.  Lots of black crows, but it's not a dark or goth place.  It's a comfortable place.  No overbearing music, a varied group of customers and a friendly staff.

I loved the art from fans.
I ordered an Ethiopian natural as a pour over.  I like natural coffees, so it was an easy choice.

It was a good cup of coffee.  I had a chance to talk to Jerry while it was being prepared.  Lucky for me I was there BEFORE the students came back.  I'm sure this place is BUSY when the students are in town.  

The day I visited Crows was the same day I decided to play with AeroPress recipes.  I had 4 cups before I came in and the pour over was cup number 5.  I should have said no when Jerry suggested an ice Aeropress he makes.  I didn't.  So this is what Coffee #6 looked like.

Jerry told me the recipe and I plan to email him and get details.  It's an AeroPress that he does using the inverted method with a long slow plunge.  He does it over ice and then shakes it which makes it nice and foamy.  It reminded me a lot of the Nitros I like.  I don't know why the shaking makes it different, but it does.  This was a creamy, tasty cup of iced coffee.  I need a shaker for home.

Jerry hard at work.

So I sat, waited and drank way more coffee than any one person needs.  I'm getting closer to finished on my poncho.  Maybe that's the secret to getting done faster - lots of coffee.  Interestingly enough I didn't have any problems going to sleep that night.  Slept like a baby.

    I love coffee - GOOD COFFEE, not that stuff in a can.  I'm addicted to the small batch roasted beans from artisan roasters around the country.  These are some notes on coffees I have enjoyed.  (the ones I didn't like I pretend didn't happen to me)
