CoffeeKid - Holiday Gift List wraps up, and copyright theft (#)
„Talked to Dougie Zell: I had a very cool conversation with Doug Zell of Intelligentsia Coffee just a day or two ago. The subjects were wide ranging - from David Schomer's Article over at CoffeeGeek, to what's coming up in the 2003 crop for Intelligentsia. I told Doug that Black Cat seems a smidge pale compared to last year (in taste), and Doug takes it seriously when I say that... but I hope I clarified with him that Black Cat is still the standardbearer (for me) for how good a commercial espresso blend can be - It's still the best stuff you can get today from a commercial roaster, in my opinion...“

CoffeeKid - Things I love about coffee and espresso
„Intelligentsia Coffee: In Chicago, there's only one place to go. Intelligentsia and it's owner, Doug Zell, get the nod from me on this list for several reasons, but one stands out - Doug hosted a prototype event that will soon be the model for many more espresso and coffee aficionado gatherings across the US and Canada - his "in tune" feelings with the consumer are the model that many other roasteries and cafes would do well to follow.“

CoffeeKid - August is a Coffee Month?
„BTW, Doug Zell from Intelligentsia doesn't want me to say this, but what the hell, I will. I tried some Black Cat again a few weeks ago, and when I next talked to Doug, as is his custom, he asked about the BC. I said great as usual, but a bit darker than I remember.“

CoffeeKid - Black Cat Coffee and other News
„This blend is the result of a hella lot of tweaking and refining, and and the tweaking was a huge part of the Espresso-In meeting at Intelligentsia back in June. Doug Zell of Intelligentsia wanted a bam signature blend, and it looks like he has found it.“

CoffeeKid - Getting back into the groove once again
„We cupped an amazing number of coffees - about fifteen, I think. Plus we compared and contrasted Intelligentsia Black Cat to a new 100% organic and Fair Trade espresso blend that JJ will be using in all their locations now.“

CoffeeKid - The subject is coffee!
„It was also something I brought up with Doug Zell not three days later, when I was back in Seattle for the SCAA's fall meetings. I hesitate telling Doug when I think his coffee is lacking a bit, because he takes it quite personally (which is both good and bad); but I told him (even told him my hesitations). He was surprised and a bit shocked, but also said that Black Cat's about to see much better days - which means about now. A new supply of one of the core ingredients has come in, and it's cupping very well.“
