January ended in a deep freeze, but at least here in the Midwest, the weather’s getting warmer. A good thing, too! There’s a lot going on in February, a month known for grumpy groundhogs, parties, parades, and, of course, Valentines Day. It’s even Black History month! That's a lot of excitement for twenty-eight days!. Whether you want to wake up your favorite "groundhog," savor a Cafe au Lait, or share coffee and chocolate with your Valentine, we have the coffee for you!

The Polar Vortex has come again to the Chicago area! Today isn’t too bad (temperatures in the low single digits with negative windchills), but tomorrow and the next day (Wednesday and Thursday) are going to be cold. None of us want to venture out tomorrow when the high temperature is expected to be only -12 degrees F (-46 F with windchill). Thursday may not be much better, but we don’t know at this point. As a result, the orders we receive after we finish roasting today (around noon) will be roasted and mailed after the temperature rises into positive degrees F, hopefully Thursday, but we may need to wait until Friday. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Any way you look at it, January 2019 is a great time for coffee!
