Meet Birdy Coffee Co., the newest roaster in our coffee collection.
Based in Red Deer, Birdy Coffee Co. is an eclectic team united by a love of coffee and a desire to show Central Alberta more of what specialty coffee has to offer.
By making great coffee feel approachable, personal, and genuinely enjoyable, Birdy invites us to discover something new, rather than telling us what we should enjoy.
Their selection balances curiosity with familiarity: Birdy is drawn to wild processing, expressive red fruit notes and coffees with plenty of character, while also valuing familiar profiles built around sweetness, body, and everyday comfort. Each choice considers both what excites them as coffee people and what will resonate with their community.
We have a feeling you’ll enjoy getting to know them. Find Birdy Coffee in store or online through the link in our bio.

Want to improve your espresso? Start with your puck prep!
A great espresso shot is the culmination of many factors working in tandem:
Your coffee, grind size, dose, temperature, recipe, and yes, puck prep.
The goal here is simple: Create an even coffee bed for optimal extraction. A more uniform puck gives water a better chance of moving through the coffee evenly, helping you achieve more consistency from shot to shot.
The best puck prep routine is the one you follow consistently and that helps you make espresso you love. Experiment with your process, pay attention to what’s happening in the cup, and adjust from there.
Watch the Reel to see our process, then head to the blog for even more puck prep tips and ideas.
And let us know: What does your puck prep routine look like?

The perfect end-of-summer iced coffee, with a citrusy twist.
Recently, we welcomed Tanat to our roaster lineup, and we’ve been having some fun exploring their coffees beyond our usual brews.
We used Tanat’s Hacienda La Papaya Typical Natural, a natural-process coffee from Ecuador, and crafted an Orange Iced Coffee: Bright, refreshing, and easy to make at home.
For the iced version, we used a 1:11 ratio for a more concentrated brew that balances the melting ice, brewing it with the xBloom directly over a couple of ice cubes. Then we added orange to play off the coffee’s pink grapefruit notes.
Watch the Reel for the full recipe, save it for later, and let us know what you think if you try it!

Our final regional stop: Regina!
Meet The Everyday Kitchen, the grand finale on our tour of this year's Canadian AeroPress Championship regionals.
On September 19 at 6:00 PM, they’ll host Regina`s first-ever AeroPress Regional Qualifier, where local baristas will compete for the opportunity to represent the province at the National Final.
Known for thoughtfully made coffee, sourdough doughnuts, and a welcoming community atmosphere, The Everyday Kitchen is a fitting place to bring Saskatchewan’s AeroPress community together.
The team is no stranger to the competition scene: As hosts of the 2022 Canadian National Brewers Cup, they demonstrated a true devotion to community and craft, perhaps outmatched only by their penchant for hospitality.
After this last regional event, all nine qualifying champions will travel to Calgary to compete in the Finals at Eight Ounce HQ on October 17.
Good luck to everyone competing tomorrow, and stay tuned as we get closer to crowning Canada’s 2026 AeroPress Champion!
Curious about the AeroPress? Let's explore it together!
Ahead of the Canadian AeroPress Championship, we're inviting you to brew up a storm with this highly versatile coffee maker and see just how many ways you can use it.
We'll provide the coffee and the AeroPress gear: Choose from three of our base recipes, or use your own to brew and compare with fellow participants. We’ll also have APAX LAB minerals and instructions available if you’d like to experiment with the water and adapt your recipe.
Oh, and did we mention the beans we'll be using are from FUNK Coffee? Their quintessentially vibrant flavour profiles are perfect for experimenting with the AeroPress, as each recipe is sure to bring out different shades of delicious. It's a great opportunity to get to know the official CAC coffee sponsor better!

Well, now that the dust has settled, we would like to thank everyone who made this year’s AeroPress event so successful. As we have so many people to thank, we will be breaking this down into two posts!
Post #1: The event organizers and the judges
Starting with the Big Dawgs themselves, our friends at Eight Ounce Coffee. Shout-out to Bjorn, and thank you for the opportunity to host. We are very grateful that Josh graced the mic and MC’d the event for us.
We would like to thank all of our judges for travelling to the event and sitting in the hot seat. We realize this isn’t an easy task, and we really appreciate you taking on the challenge.
This year’s judges were emily - pretty sure you know which Emily we’re talking about! Bailey, the co-owner of Anarchy Coffee Roasters and founder of Okanagan Coffee Festival, and the one and only Henryk, our resident judge, the owner, green buyer, and roaster behind neon in Kelowna.
We would also like to say a very special thank you to Lemmie Green for roasting the coffee for the event, sharing his roasting facility, known as Lemmie Land, and also spinning tunes for the event.
Thank you and Ciao-dy 🤠
