In February of 1997, Ken Davids & Ron Walters collaborated to form Coffee Review, with the goal of serving as an expertly produced educational resource about fine coffees. It has since become the most respected coffee buying guide in the world. As they put it:
The concept was simple: conduct blind, expert cuppings of […]
Fear not. Our enthusiasm for cupping continues, just at a better time of day. Who wants to roll out of bed at 10:00 on a Saturday morning for an educational coffee experience? That’s right, but just imagine if all that education could be yours at the convenient hour of 2 in the afternoon. If that’s […]
Alas! Last Friday’s Atlanta trip was not meant to be. We were scheduled to roll out of Primavera at 5:00. Around 4:00, tornado sirens started going off. Of course, this is no big deal in Birmingham, where a storm seems to blow through at least once a week; however, at approximately 4:45, tree branches & […]
Once more, the Primaverans are packing up early! On Friday, April 11th, we will lock our doors at 5:00 P.M. & point ourselves in the direction of Octane, the best coffee shop in Atlanta. The upcoming throwdown is especially notable, though, with all the proceeds going toward Bikes to Rwanda, an organization working to provide […]

Well, a minor detail that we may have forgotten to mention was the presence of a CNN reporter documenting the event. His photo essay has […]
The Primaverans have another field trip in the works! This Thursday, March 27th, we will close our doors at 5:00 P.M., pile into our respective vehicles, & aim for Atlanta. Why, you ask? I say, why not? Our title remains to be defended (see previous post entitled “Thursday Night Throwdown,”) & further friendships await forging […]
Last Thursday, the Primaverans went on a field trip to Octane, an amazing, progressive, & exemplary coffeeshop in Atlanta to participate in the first of an infinite number of Thursday Night Throwdowns. The experience was amazing, with eighteen baristas signing up for the challenge. Each was given three minutes to pour one drink that embodied […]
Boys & Girls,
After many months of talking amongst ourselves, we, the Primaverans, have taken action! Our bios are complete, thanks to the wildly spectacular photographic skillz of one Alan Barton. Be sure to take a moment & read about the people behind the business, & the man behind the camera that has immortalized them.
The website has been updated! We have a handful of new selections to offer—two Panamas, two Kenyas, and a Rwanda. Be sure to keep checking as we continue to expand our list!
