Asado Coffee Co.

About Me

Chicago deserved better coffee, so we turned our passion of fresh roasted coffee into our business. We were disapointed coming back to the Midwest from Seattle, where fresh coffee was the norm. So we roasted our own, and soon we were roasting to order, by hand, in small batches everyday. We roast like no others, and ship while the beans are still warm from the roast. Our carefully sourced coffee beans are hand-crafted to perfection using slow, old-world roasting methods, which results in a cup that awakens all of the senses. Lifes too short to drink bad coffee. http://www.asadocoffee.com ..

San Juan the morning cup

A cupping of San Juan this morning, reminded me of the good old days in the Pacific Northwest. The cup was smooth and relaxing. Where the mountains met the ocean, and serenity was at our side.
