Hello and welcome to the new  Coffee Grinder website. Yes, I know, I know it’s been long time coming but finally we pushed ourselves in 2014. We listened to your requests and besides the cool new look we have built in a blog so our community can create cross promotions and they can market themselves and at the same time let our customers know what is going on at The Grinder. If you are a local DJ or an artist at the Grinder, or you are simply part of our Coffee Grinder community we would like you to be part of this blog.

If you are interested to blog here, send the note to Omar at “omakad (at) gmail (dot) com” along with some info about yourself and the reason you’d like to blog with us. We’ll create you a login so you can make your own posts via popular WordPress blogging platform.
