Ebb Reusable Filter
$20.00Aeropress Micro-Filters
Exclusively designed for use with AeroPress Original, Go and Clear coffee makers, our paper micro-filters are an essential part of the brewing process. High quality paper absorbs bitter tasting oils while micro-sized holes filter and catch fine particles, stopping them from passing into the cup. Unlike French press coffee brewers, they allow for finer ground coffee and ensure a consistently smooth, grit-free cup of coffee. Not compatible with AeroPress XL coffee maker.

$4.50Curio Spice - Bonga Spice 1.4 oz
Contains: Chilies, coriander, cumin, koseret, besobela (basil), turmeric, black cardamom, nigella, parsley, garlic. This green, piquant blend is inspired by the fertile, leafy countryside of Bonga, Ethiopia where we source herbs and spices from a women’s cooperative. While different from traditional Ethiopian blends, it’s anchored in iconic flavors like koseret (a lemony herb) and besobela (a type of basil). Rub onto chicken, beef, or veggies for mildly hot, lively flavor. Use to season lentils or sautéed greens. Great for marinating too!

Bloc was founded 9 years after Diesel Cafe. Choosing to open a second store was no easy decision. We knew how challenging running one business was, so the idea of another store seemed daunting enough that for years, the notion seemed to take a back burner. A decade is a long time, to do anything. And after nearly ten years, Tucker and Jen were finally ready, for change. Bloc opened its doors on October 15, 2007 and expanded spring of 2008 to create a courtyard for outdoor seating! Bloc still boasts a large handful of staff members from pre-opening and any of its success is largely due to these solid few that have stuck with us through slow winter days and bustling weekends.
