For those who love coffee, it seems that everyone has definite opinions of how it should be roasted, stored, brewed, served, etc. Years ago, when we were looking for the right coffee roaster, our son Tim researched many local coffee roasters and talked to them about coffee for the Coffee Pot. He brought the name of Redbird Coffee, owned by Jeff Pentel, to David and suggested we use him for our coffee needs, because, as he said, "Dad, he's a coffee fanatic... and you aren't." David and I grew up on Folgers back in the day. Fortunately, we have developed a palate for good coffee in the past few years, but when we opened the Coffee Pot, we had a lot to learn. Tim was right about Redbird Coffee, and we have served it at our restaurant for the past several years. At one point, we ran out of coffee and Jeff wasn't roasting again until the next week, so David told him that we would just go to Costco and buy some Kirkland coffee to use over the weekend. Jeff was horrified. The next morning when we got up to come to work, there was a box of roasted coffee beans on our front porch! We consistently get compliments on our coffee and our specialty coffee drinks, and we refer many customers to Redbird, as they sell on line as well as commercially. In the last month, Jeff sold his business to Ron and Helen Naffziger, long time Bozeman residents and business owners. He is presently teaching them to roast and how to manage a coffee business, and we expect the same great care and quality that we have enjoyed from Jeff.
Excellent coffee should translate into excellent coffee drinks, and my drink of choice is our Mocha. I am consistently disappointed when I order a Mocha at other coffee shops, and have stopped ordering them as a result. We make our Mochas from our own mix, and when I asked our barista specialist why our Mochas are so much better than other coffee shops', she told me that it's because of our great recipe and because they are made with love! If you're looking for a delicious hot coffee drink made with love, come to the Coffee Pot.
Thank you for all of your support and interest. May you have a blessed New Year.
