Savor the Flavor: Enjoy Specialty Coffee from Next Door Coffee Delivered to Your Doorstep with DoorDash

This is our first week of giving delivery a try. Hey there! Just wanted to share some exciting news with you. We’ve recently teamed up with DoorDash, which means you can now get our delicious specialty coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and bagels delivered straight to your doorstep – no matter where you are in the Canandaigua, Farmington and Victor NY area! This is our first week giving delivery a try, and we’re absolutely thrilled about it. So sit back, relax, and let us bring the café experience to you!

We’ve leased a space!

Hello! We’re bringing our coffee to Route 332 in Canandaigua, NY! We’re currently a mobile coffee trailer based in Tennessee, but we are former Canandaigua residents moving our business back home. We are opening our first physical location inside the Flower’s by Stella building this July!

When are we opening? Our official open date is still being determined but we will be open this July!

What kind of coffee do we serve? Hot & iced lattes, americanos, cold brew, cappuccinos, specialty teas & more! We use a roaster based in Nashville called Sky Bear Coffee. Sky Bear Coffee has been roasting specialty coffee for 15 years.

Below you’ll find a few photos of our current mobile setup. In 2022 we converted a travel trailer into a mobile coffee business. We’ve since served our craft coffee at State Soccer Championships, the Nashville Superspeedway for Nashville Cars N’ Coffee, the Goodguys Car Show, and more! Renovations are underway to the Silo space inside the Flower’s by Stella building for our first physical location. Follow us on social media to see our reno journey!

BURR it’s course in here! What to do when your espresso grinder isn’t grinding fine enough.

So, you’ve maxed out the finest grind setting on your coffee grinder, but your shots are still pulling short. What can you do?

We experienced this for the first time a few months ago with our Ceado E37J grinder. Our roaster informed us that our espresso blend required light tamping. But we couldn’t achieve the perfect extraction without tamping hard and filling the basket more than usual. We couldn’t grind any finer because we were already on our Ceado E37J’s finest setting.

At first, we thought the only solution was purchasing a new grinder, but we weren’t ready to drop a thousand (or a few) on a replacement. We called in some advice and were told our burrs were probably dull. It hadn’t occurred to us that the blades inside our espresso grinder could get dull just like a knife or a pair of scissors. Inside a coffee grinder are burrs. The size of your grinder’s burrs and how many pounds of coffee you grind each day impact how often your burrs need to be replaced.

We found a replacement pair of burrs for our grinder online. They cost about 150 dollars. Before installing the new set, we did some research and discovered Ceado grinders have a dial inside the housing that can be adjusted to give a broader range of settings. Which means we could grind finer after adjusting this ring.

While our grinder is fixed now, and we didn’t have to replace our burrs just yet, we did struggle with our grind setting (after making the adjustment demonstrated in the video). Frist, we moved the dial too far and basically, we were grinding too fine causing all the coffee to clump together and not come out of the chute. We played around with our dial placement and eventually got it working exactly how we need it. We’ve saved our replacement set of burrs for when they do eventually get dull.

If you have maxed out your grind setting, and your shots are pulling short… crack the lid on your grinder and find out if there is a way to grind finer or inspect your burrs to see if they are dull and need replacing.

“Perk Up Your Workplace: The Power of Bringing a Coffee Truck to Encourage Fresh Air and Employee Satisfaction”

Incorporating a coffee truck into the workplace offers a multitude of benefits that go beyond just providing caffeine. Not only does it save employees time and energy, but it also promotes socializing and positive relationships among co-workers.

Additionally, having a coffee truck on site gives employees an excuse to step outside and get some fresh air. This is a new and unique way to show employees you care about their well-being. At Next Door Coffee, we believe that access to high-quality coffee and tea can increase employee satisfaction and enhance the overall work environment. So, if you’re looking for ways to improve your workplace culture and boost employee engagement, consider bringing in a coffee truck like ours to help brew success and create a happy and harmonious work environment.
