It required a large crane (unfortunately not pictured!) to do it, but as of Saturday, East Pike’s Caffe Vita roasting plant has increased its delicious coffee bean output capability by about 33%. We’re told by a neighbor that in the early morning weekend hours, Vita lifted in a new 60 kilogram roaster to replaced the old 45 model. According to a Vita barista, the brand’s growth prompted an upgrade to keep up with demand. With Vita’s coming push uphill to 15th Ave E, they’re definitely going to need more beans.
My coffee taste had found Vita a tad too bitter recently …. something has changed. Same nice people, the sidewalk in front is a mess, upstairs great to chat with 3-4 friends ….
Who has the best coffee, really, some hints ….please.
Vita’s coffee also became too bitter for me. I have mostly switched to stumptown.
they could have hired me instead of a crane if it’s really 60 kilograms.
Fairly certain you cannot lift a roaster that can hold 132 lbs of beans
