I was looking forward to trying MLC, they have been located at a booth in the Terra Winter Market in Burlington for the last couple weeks. They are amongst a group of local shops selling their wares for the winter months at the garden center on Hwy#5, between Brant and Guelph Line. This funky and cool coffee shop is a traveling coffee trailer normally but set up to sell coffee, freshly roasted by the cup.
I am particularly fond of locally roasted coffee and this was delicious, but they also suggested the bean that would suit my particular way of drinking it. Maggie has her coffee with soy (which was available) so was offered Brazilian beans, I drink coffee with a spot of sugar and got Columbian. I am so pleased, informed and satisfied with some fantastic brew! Coffeetastic!

Pour-over brewing is new to my area coffee shops (Ok, just one). How long has it been used in your area? Is this the only one?
ReplyDeleteYes, pour over brewing is not common here either. I have noticed only the "on site" coffee servers use this technique at festivals and fairs etc. it makes a lovely cup of brew but time consuming in quantity. I have just invested in a large no dum to enhance flavour in my coffee, we love a good cup of coffee in this house :)
