Fresh-roasted premium coffees brewed by-the-cup using the finest brew method available

Colombia El Diviso Direct Trade

Fruit aroma and round texture with juicy flavours of strawberry, peach, and honey. All the way from Huila, Colombia; the coffee cherry is pulped - skin and some mucilage is removed and the coffee is fermented for 14 hours. Direct trade is an alternative to Fair Trade except it is a direct dealing between roaster and farmer.

Kenya Tegu

Dark chocolate fragrance, clean and balanced with flavours of dried apricot, rose hip and orange zest.
• At the foot of Mount Kenya, the Tegu washing station receive cherry from around 900 small holder farmers with an average of 250 coffee trees each.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere

Floral aromatics and bright acidity, elegant and balanced with flavours of sweet lemon, jasmine, bergamot and honey.

Our Brew Bar is in full swing!

Our Brew Bar (pictured below), is now open! Together with Canada's award-winning specialty coffee roaster, 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, we present some of the world's finest coffees! Each cup is brewed individually using the best brewing method to enjoy these premier coffees.
How do we do it?

Using a new, hybrid technique that combines the best of drip coffee brewing and the French Press, we are the FIRST and ONLY coffeehouse in Windsor to offer some of the world's very best coffees roasted by an award-winning specialty roaster, 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters.

Try a cup, we think you’ll love it!

Other Stuff

Stop by and have a look at some of the works of local artists.

We're a busy bunch of baristas at The Coffee Exchange, serving lattes and tinkering with our website! Here's Mike & Lisa preparing shots of espresso. At The Coffee Exchange we make every shot of espresso by hand, keeping the Art of Espresso in the hands of our Baristas. Super-automatic espresso machines (those that do everything at the push of a button) can never produce as nice a shot as a well-trained Barista with the right beans and gear.

Here's Nicole and her 'Flower Power Latte'.
Her custom latte designs have become pretty popular in these parts!

See ya soon!

1 -	Store fresh-roasted whole beans in an airtight (preferably refrigerated) container for up to 2 weeks.
2 -	Grind coffee just before brewing. Use a proper grind size: more like the coarseness of poppy seeds rather than baby powder.
3 -	Use filtered cold water (not distilled or softened). A good coffeemaker brews at 80-90°C / 190-200°F when the water hits the grounds.
4 -	Start with 2 level TBSP coffee for every 6 oz of cold water (70g/L), then vary to taste.
5 -	Transfer to pre-heated (with hot water) thermal carafe to preserve freshness for up to two hours. Do not leave hot coffee on a burner.
