As you may have already noticed, we’re not like other coffee shops. We take pride in the fact that we don’t take an elitist stance on coffee. We love the opportunity to educate our customers and help them find the right beverage. To that end, we also know that the new year also brings a new workout regimen, so that daily Pearl Latte might not be possible anymore. But, there are many other less-caloric options available to you. One of which is the cortado.
A cortado is quite simple, actually. It’s just an espresso, cut with a little bit of steamed milk. The name comes from the Spanish word, cortar, which means “to cut.” The espresso shot is poured into a small shot glass, then the milk is added on top. It’s a balanced drink that’s tasty, strong and easy to drink, yet it lacks the caloric punch of a latte.
So next time you’re in need of a coffee drink that won’t break your diet, or you just want to try out something new, ask your friendly barista for a cortado!

When you should freeze your coffee: Never!
Freezing coffee has been a controversial method of storage that has been used to attempt to preserve the freshness for an extended period of time. However, we at Pearl Cup Coffee recommend never doing so! The lifespan of coffee is ideally within 10-14 days of the roast date, so coffee consumers should try to never buy more than a two week supply of coffee at a time.
Why you shouldn’t freeze coffee:
Coffee beans are porous, which means that they absorb the flavors within them from their surroundings. This is how coffees get their great natural flavors from the fruit surrounding the bean and methods of roasting. However, this means that all the flavors in your freezer are up for grabs too. Another reason why coffee should never be frozen is because of the condensation that forms on the beans and the oils within the beans (the distinct natural flavors that we love in our coffee) will start to deteriorate, and you will lose that great flavor.
When to refrigerate coffee:
Don’t do it! Ever! The moisture created by the temperature in the refrigerator will ruin the coffee. The fridge is one of the absolute worst places to put coffee.
How to properly store coffee:
The biggest enemies of fresh roasted coffee are moisture, air, light and heat. Therefore an airtight container in a cool, dark, dry place is the best way to store coffee. To take it a step further, storing your coffee in a ceramic airtight container rather than in plastic or metal is the very best idea because with the porous characteristics of the coffee, the aromas and flavors of metals and plastics can also be absorbed into the beans.

As you have probably already seen, we just recently started an IndieGoGo campaign to help fund a coffee truck. Which we are obviously VERY excited about. But why would a small business ask for contributions to fund their business venture rather than apply for a loan?
Simple answer…we don’t qualify for a loan. We’ve tried, but the banks don’t like to loan money to small businesses, especially if you’re asking for less than $500k. The Pearl Cup has been funded, up to this point, 100% by the owners’ own personal money. To grow our business using crowd-source funding for the addition of a coffee truck is one way that we feel we can involve of our enthusiastic and supportive coffee community. These are the same enthusiasts that ask for our great coffee to be delivered because they can’t make it to our shop. Even some people want a mobile Pearl Cup just for the fun of it! This request for delivery service and mobility happens several times a week! The money that we are asking for will only cover a portion of the costs associated with the coffee truck. The rest will be covered by us.
The platform we chose for this campaign is Indiegogo, which is a crowd-source funding website that allows anyone to raise money for anything! Using crowd-source funding is definitely thinking outside the box, and is a great way to involve our coffee-loving community in a way that allows each contributor to say they’ve had a hand in helping a small business grow. Helping a small business in any possible way allows for more jobs in the marketplace. And that’s a good thing!
Crowd-source funding may not appeal to everyone, but there are many people looking for a way to use their money to help others fund their dream. These are the people we are appealing to and are humbly thankful for their contribution.
We would like to thank, in advance, each and every one of you that takes the time to look at our video and we greatly appreciate your contribution. If you can’t contribute, no worries! Sharing the campaign with your friends is just as important and helps get us closer to realizing this dream.
