Description:

The Chemex is one of our favorite brew methods at Caffe Streets. The beautiful aesthetic of the brewer is equally matched with a pristine and clean cup that is focused around the clarity that it offers to the flavors and acidity present within coffee. This Thursday, October 20th at 7pm we will offer you a chance to lean how to use this brewer.

Besides the wonderful cup it offers, we also feel it is one of the most repeatable and useful brewers for home use. We felt it was the perfect brewer for our first of a series of Educational classes we will be offering. Come for this session and learn all about this brewer’s history, how to use it most effectively and leave with either a bag of coffee and your knowledge to brew with, or get a whole Chemex Kit at a discounted rate. This is by far one of the best set-ups for home and we can’t wait to share it with our customers. This Thursday, October 20th 2011 at 7pm we will be offering our first educational course on the Chemex.

When you Register be sure to select “Educational” for the class and a bag of Coffee, or “Chemex Kit” if you would like to get the Brewer, 100 Filters, and a bag of Coffee, a perfect set-up for all you need for home.

Nick Cho of Wrecking Ball Coffee will be in Chicago to host a Kalita Demo at Caffe Streets Tuesday September 13th at 6pm. We’re very excited about the potential that the Kalita Wave drippers have for making both an outstanding and delicious cup of coffee, as well as making it easy to brew.

Nick will have Kalita products for sale at the event, the first time they are available in Chicago, so be sure to come by, drink some coffee and pick up a dripper for home!

We’re very excited here at Caffe Streets to be testing out Baratza’s newest grinder, the Vario-W. While looking very similar to the previous Vario, this one operates on a weight based grinding system instead of time based. They have accomplished an enormous amount of problem solving in putting this grinder together and we’re already reaping the benefits in the flow of our pour-over bar. Come by and be sure to try a coffee off it and ask us about it!

“New to the game but already changing the rules is West Division’s Caffe Streets, an ultra-beautiful coffee space trying to turn Chicago’s two-roaster-town into a haven for sampling coffees from all over. Feature roasters are at the forefront here, with a variety of preparations available on the quick-to-rotate menu of selections (V60, Chemex, Caffe Solo, Kyoto drip…the list goes on) alongside a small assortment of doughy treats. The intense design sense—all terraria and white wood—simply creates a sunny space to enjoy the politely prepared coffee of your choice. (We sampled a Chemex-brewed Kenya Gitchithaini roasted by Heart in Portland, Oregon that knocked our socks off.)”

They also recognized all of our friends around town: The Coffee Studio, Metropolis Coffee Co., Intelligentsia Coffee, The Wormhole, Ch’ava, Kickstand, Ipsento, and Buzz: KIller Espresso

“Since opening earlier this year, Caffe Streets (1750 W. Division St., 773-278-2739) has become a hangout for gorgeous Europeans, who seem to make those tiny cups of espresso (here it’s a custom blend from Intelligentsia) last for hours. Single-origin coffees are brewed to order, using a variety of methods, and are guaranteed to rev you up. No matter what side of the pond you’re from.”
