He received notification in February that Wired had won a statewide bidding process and had been selected to occupy space in the Roosevelt II. As part of their agreement, the park receives a portion of monthly sales in lieu of rent.<!--more--><br \/>\n\u201cThat gives us a greater chance to succeed,\u201d said Michele. \u201cWe don\u2019t have to worry about how we are going to make rent each month. It\u2019s very accommodating.\u201d<br \/>\nBecause the shop is just 500 square feet, they will no longer be serving made-to-order food. Instead, they will offer a wide variety of beverages as well as grab-and-go foods, including salad and grain bowls from 9 Miles East and cookies from Sweetly Kara. By eliminating the food preparation aspect of the business, Michele will be able to focus on his passion for coffee roasting.<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m a coffee roaster. Once I started roasting, I was hooked,\u201d he said. \u201cAt the new shop, we can zero in on the coffee. The coffee that we serve is all fair trade and all organic. I get them straight from the countries\u2014straight from origin. We\u2019re pretty close to being farmer direct.\u201d<br \/>\nMichele sources his beans from Indonesia, Cost Rica, and various African countries. He roasts the beans in small batches at his roastery in Glenville and plans to sell his bagged coffees online in the near future.<br \/>\nWired Coffee is served at restaurants including the Cock \u2018n Bull and 677 Prime.<br \/>\nMichele\u2019s brother, Matt, owns Wired Coffee and Bagel on Albany Shaker Road in Albany. They operate their cafes independently, but are partners in the coffee aspect of the business. They are currently working on making Wired\u2019s Nitro Cold Brew a national brand. The canned cold brew is distributed by DeCrescente Distributing Co. in Mechanicville. It is sold at both Wired locations as well as at Stewart\u2019s Shops and on many college campuses.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have some partnerships in the works that could catapult us to next level,\u201d said Michele.<br \/>\nAccording to Michele, Saratoga Spa State Park visitors are excited by the presence of a coffee shop within the park. Initial sales have been encouraging.<br \/>\nWired Coffee Roasters is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. To order online, visit www.clover.com\/online-ordering\/wired-coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Christine Graf Two months after announcing the permanent closure of their location in Malta, Wired Coffee Roasters has opened a coffee shop in the newly-renovated Roosevelt II Baths and Spa in Saratoga Spa State Park.
