April Roaster’s Pick at Zingerman’s Coffee Company
We like Burundi Dukorere Ikawa for it’s crisp up-front acidity and hints of savoriness. It has a really pleasant tang that sweetens as it cools. Given the brightness if finishes with a remarkably buttery mouthfeel. This coffee is well suited to individual filter methods, like the Chemex and cone. It also benefits from a slightly finer grind, tastes slightly fruity in an Aeropress and somewhat citrusy in a Syphon.
Stop by for a sample!

Soul Food Dinner at Zingerman’s Roadhouse
Soul Food: The Surprising Story of an American Cuisine, One Plate at a Time
Please join us Tuesday, April 22, 7pm, for a culinary exploration into the history of American soul food with author Adrian Miller.
In this insightful and eclectic history, Adrian Miller delves into the influences, ingredients, and innovations that make up the soul food tradition. Focusing each chapter on the culinary and social history of one dish–such as fried chicken, chitlins, yams, greens, and “red drinks”–Adrian uncovers how it got on the soul food plate and what it means for African American culture and identity. Chef Alex has created a menu direct from the chapters of Soul Food and Adrian will share his knowledge and the history of the foods we will be dining on. Adrian Miller is a writer, attorney, and certified barbecue judge who lives in Denver, Colorado. He has served as a special assistant to President Bill Clinton, a senior policy analyst for Colorado Governor Bill Ritter Jr., and a Southern Foodways Alliance board member.
Speaker Series continues at ZingTrain
Please join us Wednesday, April 23, 730am-930am for another thought-provoking session of the ZingTrain Speaker Series.
This week’s session will feature Stephen Gill, Ph.D, who is co-owner of Learning2BGreat.com as well as owner and principal of Stephen J. Gill Consulting. Stephen’s subject will be: An Arsenal of A’s.
Here’s why it’s a great idea to listen very closely to what Stephen Gill has to say : he’s worked in the field of Human Performance Improvement for decades. He’s written books about it. He’s based his consulting practice on it. He teaches it. He talks about it. And he’s really, really good at it. In fact, Stephen Gill is the guy to talk to if you want to create a culture of learning in your organization and then get concrete evidence that the culture is resulting in performance improvements.
