We are always working on new flavors. Always. There are a number of things that inspire us to create a new gelato flavor but the best inspiration comes from meeting people. Here in the Bay Area we are spoiled with an abundance of fellow food artisans.

Last week we met James Freeman at his beautiful new Blue Bottle roasting facility in Oakland. We explained how we make gelato and he talked about different ways they roast and brew coffee. Then we enjoyed a cupping of several single origin beans. Then James said, “Where’s the gelato?” He gathered some people and we enjoyed another kind of cupping.

From that one conversation we developed a whole new way to make coffee gelato, we call it the cold press method. Our Blue Bottle Coffee Gelato will be in stores soon.
