Coffee so good…people are dreaming about it!
Well, the strange and profound has happened. Our customers (fondly known as coffee snobs, because they only drink the best) are beginning to dream about drinking our coffee! What does this mean?! Are they drinking our freshly roasted and dated coffee too late before going to bed? Or is their mind reliving one of the best parts of their day?
We of course prefer to think it’s the latter and we invite you to test our theory. Stop on by if you live in or around Flagstaff, AZ (1000 E Butler Ave #102) to taste test our freshly brewed coffees, purchase a cup of our coffee, and get some roast dated beans for yourself. We bet that pretty soon you’ll be dreaming about our coffee, too!
And if you aren’t close enough to visit our physical shop, our online store carries all our roast dated beans, too. After you place your order, we roast your beans and ship within two days of roasting. We guarantee our beans are fresh; and that means great tasting coffee no matter where you reside.
Re-Mineralized Water for the Best Tasting Coffee
Everything used to brew coffee can impart flavors to your final coffee drink. Here at It’s About Coffee, we have a proprietary mineral blend that we have engineered to specifically create the smoothest coffee ever.
All water is flavored by minerals, unless it has been stripped by distilling, processed by reverse-osmosis or particle filtered. Totally stripped water doesn’t taste good. Adding back minerals will flavor the water, but not all minerals are desirable. Magnesium is a bitter salt mineral. Calcium adds substance, but not a large amount of flavor. Potassium adds vibrant flavors. Having studied many natural spring waters for composition; we have come to what we believe is the perfect balancing blend of minerals. Our flavor enhancing mineral blend has been proven to perfectly balance the flavor of stripped water. Simple to use, inexpensive to purchase and it creates astonishingly great water for pennies a gallon!
We use our mineral blend when brewing all of our coffees in our retail stores and shops and if you’re wondering why the coffee you are brewing at home doesn’t taste quite the same as ours (and of course you’re using It’s About Coffee’s fresh roast dated beans and brewing with the single cup pour over kit)…the secret is our mineral blend. Check out our Online Store to purchase your own! Great tasting coffee is a couple minerals away.
Snowing in Flagstaff today…means get your coffee right away!

If you’re driving by on Interstate 40 passing through Flagstaff, you owe it to yourself to stop on by and get a good dose of caffeine in the most tasty way.

Serving Coffee at Palette to Palate - this Friday!
This is the 6th year for Coconino Community’s College Fundraising Event, Palette to Palate. And this year It’s About Coffee is providing the coffee! Following are some of the details; we hope to see you there!
When 21-year-old Coconino Community College student Jessica Guillory signed up for a ceramics class last semester, her talent for drawing people and her interest in mythology came together in a sculpture that is drawing a lot of attention. This month Guillory’s Bacchus is the signature piece for CCC’s Sixth Annual Palette to Palate, the college’s largest fundraising event that culminates in an evening of art, entertainment and food, 5 – 8 p.m., Friday, April 25 on the Lone Tree Campus.
Bacchus is the Roman god of wine who represents the grape vine and the social aspects of wine. Guillory’s Bacchus is a small Romanesque-style sculpture of the god draped over a wine barrel and indulging in grapes. It took about five weeks for Bacchus to emerge from a block of clay; hours were spent just rolling tiny balls to form grapes.
“I like ceramic artwork because it’s three dimensional. You can touch the different levels of the clay instead of just working on a flat medium,” Guillory said. “It’s meant to be touched.”
“Jessica’s Bacchus is the most fun and inventive work of art a student has created for the Palette to Palate signature image to date. The selection committee loved it,” said CCC Fine Arts Department Chair Alan Petersen. “I think the sculpture really captures the dynamic and exciting nature of the Palette to Palate event.”
Bacchus will be going home with the highest bidder. Other artists who are donating artwork to the evening’s live and silent auctions include Curt Walters, Bruce Aiken, Mark Arnegard, George Averbeck, Joni Pevarnik, Ellen Tibbetts, Alan Petersen, Jerry McGlothlin, Wendy Winchester, Tony Winchester, Don Bendel, Joe Findley, Sondra Francis, Connie Townsend, Elaine Dillingham, Vince Fazio, Diana Hansen and Joella Jean Mahoney.
Local chefs from 12 restaurants will provide hors d’oeuvres and desserts. They include Ai Caramba!, Artisan’s Kitchen, Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar, Cottage Place, Cuvée 928, El Capitan, It’s About Coffee, Jackson’s Grill at the Springs, Josephine’s Restaurant, Main Street Catering, Mountain Oasis, and Pesto Brothers.
The new community orchestra, Orchestra Northern Arizona, will debut as part of the evening’s entertainment. The CCC Jazz Band and the college’s dance company, Encore, will perform, as well.
“Palette to Palate is a super-charged celebration of the arts that brings together good food, wine, art and our community to raise funds for our fine arts students,” said Petersen. “This year, money raised at Palette to Palate will help Encore travel to Italy to participate in an international dance festival in Venice.”
Tickets are $25 for general admission, $15 for students and CCC employees, and may be purchased from the Executive Office of the Lone Tree Campus or at the door the night of the event. For more information call 928-226-4322 or log on to www.coconino.edu.
Come on out for this great event!

Best Coffee Brewing Method
If you’re looking for a the best way to brew coffee…look no further than our exclusive single cup pour over brewing system! Our proprietary system offers ease of use and extraordinary flavor at an affordable price!
The finer the grind the fuller the flavor of the coffee. However most home coffee systems can’t handle enough water to brew an espresso grind properly leading to clogged filters and bitter coffee.
Our gourmet single cup filter holder offers a fast water flow rate, even with an espresso grind and is large enough to accommodate brewing 10 - 20 ounces at one time. Because boiling water is simply poured over the grounds, you can guarantee that your water is at the right temperature for maximum flavor and that all the grounds are saturated.
The system is simple, easy, accurate, reproducible and delivers the best tasting coffee. Try it out for yourself! It’s About Coffee’s gourmet single cup filter holder is sold separately and in kits to serve 1, 2, and 3+ people. Visit our online store for all the details!
Wishing you better brewing!
