There are plenty of ways to make coffee, from the simple cowboy coffee to expensive super automatic espresso machines. We have Aeropress, ibriki, mokapot, French press, pour over, drip, espresso and so many more. But you know what the old saying says… “Build a better mousetrap, and the world will…

Tucked away on Mill St in Bristol PA is Calm Waters coffee roaster. A lovely little cafe that serves their own roasted coffee. The roaster is off site but near by. I stopped in with my family to sample some of their faire. The shop was nice and clean, the…
