Flora aroma and rich texture, with flavours of blackberry and watermelon. With around 700 active farmers, the Kangocho factory has won numerous awards for its coffees.

Organic Costa Rica San Gabriel

Balanced with sweet notes of strawberry & florals with a crisp acidity and delicate finish. San Gabriel is one of very few organic farms in Costa Rica and is continuously dedicated to providing a healthy environment for the coffee and for the workers at the farm.

Hey wow! Our new website is up and running thanks to the guys @ imprint-creative.com, Jason and Mark. Hope you like the new look and features! They also designed and printed our new sandwich board pictured at the top of the page. They do GREAT work! Give 'em a call or ask us about thier work if you're in the neighborhood and in need of print work or web design.

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!

Some really exciting news for Coffee Lovers!

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.
