\"\"<\/a>In Platteville last week, we noticed this coffee shop, Badger Brothers<\/a>.\u00a0 We knew the name as the brand of coffee served at the\u00a0 Old Royal Inn in Mineral Point.\u00a0 We stopped in a got a cup of their coffee of the day (Ethiopian Yergacheffe<\/a>).\u00a0 The coffee was wonderful, and not even Leslie getting lipstick all over the cup could ruin my enjoyment.\u00a0 The inside of the shop was really cozy and the staff were very friendly– even when it took me 2 minutes to decide what size coffee I wanted.\u00a0 We did a little research once we got home and it’s clear that the owners take their coffee very seriously.\u00a0 They, of course, offer Fair Trade & Rainforest Alliance coffees (both prerequisites for independent coffee shops I believe).\u00a0 Beyond that, though, they seem to be passionate about quality.\u00a0 And even more importantly, it appears they follow through on this passion because I’ve had quite a few cups of their coffee without ever getting a bad roast (I can’t say that of too many coffee roasters).\u00a0 Besides, their Sivetz Single Pass Fluid Bed<\/a> roaster is a thing of beauty.\u00a0 I love it because 1) it was clearly designed by an engineer with no thought to aesthetics and 2) fluid bed roasters are the best way to produce the sweet, lighter bodied cup I prefer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I don’t know how many locations serve their coffee (like I said, I know Mark serves it at the Old Royal Inn in Mineral Point).\u00a0 You can, of course go right to their cafe in Platteville.\u00a0 But you also have the option of ordering whole or ground beans from their website (linked above).<\/p>\n
