French Press: A Great Brew

Sarah Williams — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:10:28 +0000

We now have Press pots in 2, 3, 6 and 8 cup sizes. French press is a great way to brew at home. Home coffee pots may not be able to reach ideal temperatures, but with a press pot you use boiled water that will extract all the flavor from your coffee or tea. Consider using these at your own homes or stocking them in the retail section of your store. The holidays are fast approaching and gifts like these won’t stay on your shelves! Contact us today to get your own French press.

Halloween Gelato Seminar

We’ve had many requests for another gelato seminar. Now that business appears to be getting back to normal for most of you we thought this was a great time to host another. Now is the perfect time to start planning and getting financing together for a Spring startup.

Come to UMG on Friday October 30^th @ 1pm and see all that Gelato can offer your business.

Fabbri will be sending Pastry Chef Tom Treischmann to co-host the event with us. We’ll go over what type of equipment you’ll need, simple and artisan gelato preparations and have some fun with seasonal gelato ideas (beware of the Gelato Brain!) Already making gelato? Feel free to come over to meet Tom and pick his brain (not just the gelato one….getting curious aye?) and find new ideas for spicing up your gelato display. Space is limited so please RSVP to david@uppermidwestgourmet.com and reserve a spot.
