Makin Me Proud! - Tuesday, June 30th

Thank you everyone for all the responses to all the blog posts and help with Roos Roast.

Everyone For Realz! From everyone who's sipped my brew to helped me over the last 5 years I'm sending out a mid-night thank you. I could not have done any of this without you!

Here are a couple of early entries in the Mug-For-Vacation contest:
That's Julie of Jeff and Julie rock solid Roos Roast drinkers and Farmers Market shoppers all year long. The other was taken by Ecstatic Dance Yellow Barn God Rock Star John and Robin.

Thank you all for sharing and caring.
Meanwhile my wife Kath is working on a 4th of July Sonic Hiku for Michigan Radio/The sound of the State that is going to blow your speakers wild!
See ya'll at the Market tomorrow.

The Fix! Your Coffee Sinch! - Tuesday, June 23rd

New blocks cut and printed! I wanted to share with you, my lovely blog readers, (and all you new comers finding out about the wonders of Roos Roast everyday.) Two of my latest bag prints: This one on the left: "The Fix" will be available tomorrow at the Ann Arbor Farmers Market so get the best part of these hot days in the early morning light and enjoy some killer coffee.

On the right you have the new A-A Cowboy Blend. People have been asking and I've been talking and now they're a reality.

There you have more free art on the bag of every half and full pound of Roos Roast coffee.




It's our job to get the best, freshest green and small batch roast it for you. We're your coffee people keeping it tight, right and tasting great.

RoosRoast Postcards from the Edge…. - Monday, June 15th

So the people at Michigan.org (the same people who brought you the slogan “Yes Michigan” in the mid 80s) want you to remember that Michigan has more freshwater coastline than any other state in the union. Roosroast wants you to remember this too, as we’re slowly rollin’ into summer and the annual lakehouse pilgrimages commence. The beauty of your favorite locally roasted beans is their portability! Ran into a great example of this recently, when a friend had a last-minute getaway coffee emergency… I was able to custom grind her favorite blend for her posse to enjoy in a lakeside French press. You too can enjoy Roosroast almost anywhere, with a little hot water and your favorite brewing mechanism. It also makes a great gift for your hosts!




We here at Roosroast do love to travel, but the summer farmer’s market season makes that virtually impossible. So let us travel vicariously through you! Send us an image, digital or literal, that depicts you/friends enjoying RoosRoast during your summer travels. We’ll post the best images on the blog, and labor day weekend I’ll pick the best image… winner gets a free bag of their favorite blend.
Email: roosroast@gmail.com
Snail Mail: Postcard c/o Roos Roast 517 Felch Street Ann Arbor MI 48103

Bon Voyage, Party People…We’ll keep the home (roasting) fires burning while you’re out there ruling the world.

"Lobster Butter Love"
