we visited their tustin store and ended up buying a couple of bags of their coffee, that is roasted on site. after reading all the descriptions, we ended up with a <a href="http://www.keancoffee.com/Products/CoffeeDetail.aspx?CoffeeId=171">bolivian peaberry</a> and a <a href="http://www.keancoffee.com/Products/CoffeeDetail.aspx?CoffeeId=163">sihereni from papua new guinea.</a> i added the links in case you wanted to read their tasty descriptions too. mmm.<br />

the coffee shop was packed inside and out. we were lucky to find an empty table out front. they also have a back patio which was a bit cozier, but there were smokers back there, even though they have a "no smoking" sign clearly posted. oh well.<br />

are you equipped to brew coffee without electricity? there are several manual brewing methods to choose from: chemex, hario v60, & french press are just a few. and, if you buy whole beans, don't forget your manual coffee grinder!<br />

yep, that's hubby ordering us a couple of drip coffees at the drive-up window. the brews of the day were caramel creme (flavored), night sky (dark roast) and kenya (peaberry). if you want to drink your brew there, they have a couple of patio tables outside with umbrellas to shield you from the sun but there is no indoor seating. as a matter of fact, there is no indoors. you order your coffee at the walk-up window.<br />
<br />

they offer their drip in two sizes, regular ($2.15) and large ($2.35). <br />
we both went with the regular (16 oz), kenya.<br />
<br />

this is the sign you will see as you exit the parking lot. they were quite busy with a constant flow of cars and a few walk-up patrons as well. we will definitely be back here. it's a very convenient location for us but most importantly the coffee was very good. <br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5nFUR9zRosShAQqKdXzofp6jOEDkOIoHHusWzBN5GnZ78x8uiYZJGTecdQ-Lj0rYKyjWlypkClBYhB0dFlqO8yH0WTNHD1iLRteHZJK3tUNsBSMBigVu1Iq6P1ky6iAQOTnUpCJlVqh2/s1600/pot1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ5nFUR9zRosShAQqKdXzofp6jOEDkOIoHHusWzBN5GnZ78x8uiYZJGTecdQ-Lj0rYKyjWlypkClBYhB0dFlqO8yH0WTNHD1iLRteHZJK3tUNsBSMBigVu1Iq6P1ky6iAQOTnUpCJlVqh2/s400/pot1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
i knew what i wanted to do with it but i wasn't sure what supplies i would need, so i got hubby and we went to our local home center. we ended up getting the 5 items shown below: 3' pipe, 45° elbow, close nipple, flat washer and a lock nut.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjalnoozeqJEUFonWaV7iPWSgSGgzYXbiZKYlTOsksRRbZNYDItuxD6FWCTFtL4rTg7Q0jhcX7AbWNcqzCBMMc6jsU7rN31u4tFtg7o59GzdvYgUwPTRx3zr4666n0H9ALKpEJ9IqETQox7/s1600/pot2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjalnoozeqJEUFonWaV7iPWSgSGgzYXbiZKYlTOsksRRbZNYDItuxD6FWCTFtL4rTg7Q0jhcX7AbWNcqzCBMMc6jsU7rN31u4tFtg7o59GzdvYgUwPTRx3zr4666n0H9ALKpEJ9IqETQox7/s400/pot2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
the hardest part of this project is making the hole on the bottom of the coffee pot. after drilling several small holes and one larger one, it just took a little sawing and some filing to get a nice round hole.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1TeLdoZWAZVnYJWfXaNpK7YSv4OKMQB1gWJaYtQ1TEn7r7Z-v5Q6M3j6J2-YHcCEMcLn0iu47Af6HhE8Rdti3Uy-URcLXhS7SlronyZzU8G6fU1kpiwWMy2EOkfmXYJlF9iu1h5AQdY32/s1600/pot3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1TeLdoZWAZVnYJWfXaNpK7YSv4OKMQB1gWJaYtQ1TEn7r7Z-v5Q6M3j6J2-YHcCEMcLn0iu47Af6HhE8Rdti3Uy-URcLXhS7SlronyZzU8G6fU1kpiwWMy2EOkfmXYJlF9iu1h5AQdY32/s400/pot3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
then you just screw the pipe, elbow and nipple together. insert it into the hole and from the inside add the washer (for stability) and the lock nut to keep it all together. <br />
note: my coffee pot was a light weight aluminum. if you have a heavier pot, these supplies and application probably won't work for you. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNYCva4gKXkmXD_PUJW9jVZazWPBNw2vY2wnGw_fAk_Q4eltBzuvFP2q8zexgGpCphihyphenhyphentINB6Cieh23WyHiNVhck8YahocaikfsAwFZcbkUElAGFlXDkTdigFoSbCz_xm9hOWHxs7oC1/s1600/pot4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSNYCva4gKXkmXD_PUJW9jVZazWPBNw2vY2wnGw_fAk_Q4eltBzuvFP2q8zexgGpCphihyphenhyphentINB6Cieh23WyHiNVhck8YahocaikfsAwFZcbkUElAGFlXDkTdigFoSbCz_xm9hOWHxs7oC1/s400/pot4.jpg" /></a></div><br />
and there you have it. stick the pipe into the ground in your garden and you now have caffeinated garden art.<br />
oh, as a finishing touch, i added a glass "drop of coffee" from the spout.<br />

it's called hidden house coffee and they aren't kidding about the "hidden" part. it's down a quiet little "residential" road where all the houses have been converted into various businesses. the mix of patrons ranged from locals to tourists, teenagers to seniors.<br />

for a touch of whimsy, i hung the pot on a shepherd's hook under our plum tree and placed the cup on a little table i had in storage. as you can see, not all yard art has to come from a garden center.<br />

the bag of coffee is actually a pound! while most roasters sell their bags of coffee in 12 ounce bags, philz actually gives you a full pound. just like the old days! how refreshing. thanks philz. and thanks daughter #1 for the pound of coffee!<br />
<br />
<i>[in august of 2012 i had <a href="http://coffeemeister.blogspot.com/2012/08/philz-coffee.html">visited philz</a> and i remember being impressed with the staff. everyone was very friendly. and not the fake friendly you get at other shops. a real friendly, with a real smile. there are over a dozen philz coffee shops, but unfortunately for me, they are all in the bay area.]</i><br />

they have several locations to choose from and we chose their soho store. this location is part coffee bar, part gourmet market (that's why you can see fruit in the front corner of this shot). if you want a munchie or a meal with your coffee, this is the location to pick.<br />
