MADCAP GRAND RAPIDS SERIES

The series was available for a limited time and showcases one of the reasons why people refer to El Salvador as one of the most progressive coffee producing regions in the world. Madcap also released a noteworthy coffee series where they sold eight single varietals, or cultivars, from the same grower, the Rodriguez family in Apaneca, El Salvador. Tastings both in the shop and at home left little doubt that this was competition worthy coffee. I bought a bag of the Didier Reinoso Colombia (which contained both the July and December crops) and a bag of the Sulawesi Toarco Jaya. I had a V60 pour over of the Luis Reinoso (brother to Didier) Colombia and later a V60 of the Ethiopian Ardi Natural (a coffee dear to our hearts since it is also roasted and served at Sunergos Coffee here in our hometown).

Everything about the interior clicked when I read how Co-Founder Ryan Knapp recently delved into the DNA of the Madcap retail space at the International Coffee Week – Brazil 2013.Ĭo-Founder Trevor Corlett’s 2013 USBC routine featured two harvests of MadCap’s Didier Reinoso Colombia, one from July 2012 and another from December 2012.

Madcap’s shiny La Marzocco GB5 cranks out shot after shot of espresso while manual pours-overs are brewed with Kalita Waves (versus the Hario V60). The focal point of the room is a 180° bar -perfect for watching your coffee be brewed, while still being able to converse with the baristas. The space is on the first floor of a beautiful historic building that was gutted and repurposed in 2007 prior to the opening of the cafe in the Fall of 2008. As Madcap’s only location and roasting headquarters, the spot is a stunning reflection of the company’s telos: “to make and share amazing coffee”. Madcap Coffee Company, established only five years ago, has produced nationally-acclaimed barista competitors, a cavalier coffee series, and truly proven they are madcap about coffee.ĩ8 Monroe Center NW, Grand Rapids, is where owners Trevor Corlett and Ryan Knapp showcase their coffee. “Beer City USA” may be its reigning title, but Madcap Coffee gives the city another brew to take pride in. Grand Rapids, Michigan is home to some of the greatest brews in the country.
