YOU MAY BE RIGHT // Super fruity, zesty acidity, fresh florality - this one checks all the boxes.

Through a deft little post-fermentation thermal shock process, producer Beto Narvaez has brought out some truly expressive aromatics and a sweet intensity that make this coffee stand out like bottle rockets on the beach at midnight.

The flavour profile reminds us vividly of candied orange, fruits so ripe they’re almost boozy, and rich purple florals (think viola, clover, oxalis).

Fantastic on filter and UNREAL as espresso, You May Be Right is available in the web shop and at .coffeebar!

PLEASANT COFFEE // What’s the biggest leap you ever took after vacationing on a remote island?

For Hanna and Kevin Lacaille, it was incorporating a coffee business — something they’d filed under “maybe one day” until the perfect spot opened up in their neighbourhood. Hanna worked in finance, and Kevin’s a software engineer: coffee wasn’t exactly part of their career trajectories.

Their specialty coffee gateway was a regular fix at a few local cafes, one of which happened to carry FUNK Coffee. They found themselves further down the rabbithole, diving deeper into the minutia of coffee brewing and culture.

When their favourite shops closed during COVID, Hanna and Kevin religiously attended Instagram Live brewing workshops and demos, discovering roasters like Luna and Monogram along the way. The idea of opening a shop of their own felt like a dream they might realize, maybe 6 years down the road...

That’s when fate intervened, presenting opportunity in the form of a vacancy along one of Hanna’s run routes, near Kevin’s rowing club. Seizing the moment, they signed the lease and hit the ground running.

Fast-forward to now, two days away from the .ca grand opening (Saturday, 8am-4pm), and the shop is far beyond “pleasant”: It’s a bright, friendly, neighbourhood hub where friends and families, park-goers, sports fans, brewery crawlers, cyclists, commuters, nearby business owners and patrons, and coffee fans can enjoy specialty coffee and connection.

FUNK Coffee will be featured on bar, and the retail shelves are already laden with beans from roasters like , , and .

The menu will include seasonal housemade features, beginning with a blueberry basil syrup, and pastries from Ex Animo. From the countertops and furniture to the branding and design, every element of the business is community-driven.

The soft opening this Friday (7am-4pm) is in fact sure to be LOUD, with DJ setting the mood; giveaways from FUNK as well as , , and ; and so much more.

Head out to Port Moody to check out what’s sure to be the sweetest spot in the city!

CAN DO // DYK each of our cans is assembled and labelled by hand? Three pieces per can, two labels, roast date sticker, and a nitrogen flush.

Goes like:

Can ➔ fill with coffee ➔ seal top piece ➔ flush with nitrogen ➔ cap ➔ main label ➔ specs label ➔ roast date ➔ repeat as long as you keep drinking our coffee ✌️

Caring takes work but it’s worth it.

I WANT YOU HERE // This one had us shook. Our first whiff of the roasted beans gave us something close to fried rice, chow mein, pho - very savory, lots of umami, all the comforting carbs.

Imagine our shock, then, when we brewed it and tasted sweet, juicy strawberry, tangy tamarind, and hints of lime leaf! Not at all what we expected from an IIndonesian coffee.

That’s the magic of the lactic natural process, deftly achieved by producers Wildan Mustofa and Atieq Mustikaningtyas. They introduced lactobacillus cultures during the fermentation phase, resulting in a creamy sweetness, pleasing structure, and a clean finish.

This one’s going fast, as fans are loving it on filter AND espresso, so grab a can before it’s gone!

SUN HITS THE SKY // It’s that electrifying moment that happens every day - seemingly mundane but in fact miraculous.

We’re talking about that first sip of perfectly poured-over coffee as much as we are the sunrise. And our latest washed Ethiopian tastes like those moments.

Warm. Gently floral. Pure, tender sweetness, like late-summer campfires or a game of tag in a harvest-ready orchard.

We taste marshmallow, chamomile, baked apple, and rosehip - a playful sophistication on the palate with deliciously evocative character.

Get a taste before the moment’s over - this one’s in our web shop now, and on the shelves at .coffeebar .

FIRST RODEO // Yesterday Kurtis hit the stage at the Canadian Cup Tasters Championship with big purple cowboy energy, doin’ us all so so proud as he slurped his coffee-loving heart out.

Even in a whirlwind of travel, exhibition setup, connections with coffee friends new and old, he shot outta the gate with 6/8 triangulations faster than he’s ever slurped before.

He may not have won gold at the comp but no question, he won the rootin’est tootin’est hat contest.

Swipe through to see some serious-cowboy face 🤠💜

Way to go, Kurtis!!!

KING SLURP // Kurtis is heading to the Cup Tasters Championship this weekend, puttin’ his palate to the test for a shot at the national crown 👑

We’re SO STOKED to cheer him on (and catch some golden facial expressions - peep the last slide 😜), countless hours and coffees later.

What even IS a Cup Tasters thingy? Get this:

The Cup Tasters Championship is a triangulation challenge wherein competitors must identify the odd cup out of three based on taste, aroma, body, etc. in a rapid-fire format. The goal is to distinguish subtle differences between the coffees in each set of cups with high speed and accuracy.

What’s particularly fun about this kind of challenge is the potential for inclusivity - beyond even the boundaries of specialty coffee. Folks from other industries and backgrounds have proven to have especially keen taste and discernment; likewise, years of coffee industry experience is no guarantee of proficient sensory perception.

For instance, when we were still roasting at the House of Funk brewery, we invited the beer team to participate in a few cup taster challenges, just for fun. The head brewer at the time scored quite high, almost on par with our coffee team - and several of the servers did well, too.

Gonna be a wild weekend of slurping, sampling, and shenanigans at ! Best of luck, Kurtis - we’re already proud. 🤘
