Mammoth in Urban Outfitters Guide to Nola
Urban Outfitters recently opened its New Orleans location, and with it, the fashion chain published a guide to some of the best food, drink and culture New Orleans has to offer.
On Mammoth Espresso:
If you’re looking for an excellent espresso that will knock your socks off but the barista won’t make you feel dumb for not knowing that your Ethiopian bean is lemony and acidic, then this is your place. Also a spot to get some work done if you’re looking to stay for awhile.
Check out the full OU blog here.

Mammoth Espresso a ‘Hidden Gem’ in Nola Coffee
GoNola.com is a terrific resource for where to eat, what to drink and who to see around New Orleans, and staff writer Mike Crimmins is a former coffee blogger who knows a thing or two about serious coffee. He recently had this to say about Mammoth Espresso:
Mammoth Espresso is the secret that I almost don’t want anyone else to know about. This is a hidden gem, and I want it all for myself. But I’ll share. They have a laid back, modern space with spots to sit with friends or stand while you enjoy your shot of espresso. Speaking of espresso, they’re currently using beans from Madcap coffee and know how to create a high-quality drink.

Front Page Coverage from the New Orleans Advocate
We had some terrific coverage from the New Orleans Advocate, including Jonathan’s hand pouring our Mammoth Espresso Tonic on the front page!! Whoo! It was a great feature, and it touched on some important points that we’ve been putting out there for a while.
“According to Jonathan Riethmaier, the owner of Mammoth Espresso and co-founder of the New Orleans Barista Social Club, these clients favor cafes that allow the wealth to trickle down to the farmer who grows the coffee beans — an attitude that improves farming communities and the quality of coffee.”
It’s true, we love to talk about where coffee comes from and how that plays a part in the cost to the consumer. We have a high standard for how the growing communities are impacted by the coffee we serve, and we believe that coffee production must be environmentally and financially sustainable.
The Advocate also sheds light on the Mammoth Espresso name:
“Even though espresso is a minuscule drink, it can be a really big deal,” said Riethmaier. The shop’s moniker is based on this seeming paradox.

The Gambit Highlights Mammoth Tea, Pour Overs
The folks at The Gambit have a nice feature of Mammoth Espresso. Writer Will Coviello highlights our Seraphim pour over bar, as well as the attention to detail we put into our tea program.
“Mammoth uses Seraphim brewing system, which brews individual cups to order in three minutes in a fashion similar to pour-over coffee. The staff also pays close attention to teas, steeping different teas at appropriate temperatures and times”
In fact, our Seraphim system is a pour over, it’s simply automated and custom dialed to bring you the perfect cup of coffee, each and every time.
We’re particularly happy to have our tea program highlighted. We don’t mention this enough, but every tea (that’s 15 unique teas) on our menu is dialed in according to: a) dose, b) water temperature and c) steep time.
