Trying to finish the coffee I have right now before I go get more. Haha. Hopefully will go order one of the suggested ones soon.
Where in Oregon are you? I've been to Eugene, Portland, and Ashland. Great coffee available in those cities.
I remember getting coffee at Ninkasi Brewery. If I'm not mistaken, they use Stumptown coffee. I can't recall the local shop names, but we were by the skate park under the bridge. Washington or Jefferson?
I was hoping to read a post from someone who enjoys coffee, but isn't a coffee connoisseur. I guess I'll be the first! Haha! I'm not a coffee snob. Not too picky with coffee. I enjoy it when I have it, but it's very occasional when I do. No fancy coffee roasters, grinders, French presses, Espresso machines, coffee shops, etc. I don't need coffee to get through the day, and I can go for months without coffee. Have I tried artisanal, high-quality, authentic coffee? Yes, many times! It's delicious, premium, and very comforting. But I prefer what my parents introduced me too. It warms my heart even more. My parents are old-school Filipinos, and they grew up drinking Folgers. It's a cultural thing for my family members; they drink coffee to help them sleep (much like warm milk or hot cocoa--and despite the caffeine, coffee really does knock them out, so strange) and they offer it to guests when they visit our home. They always drink it black, sometimes with a bit of cream and sugar. Very quick and simple. Very cheap. Not sophisticated. No effort. That's what my parents raised my siblings and I to drink as well. Recently got them a Keurig, and they're extremely happy; that makes me happy too.
Yes!!!! 7:15am and 3:15pm for my mom. So when I'm visiting, I make sure I boil some water for her and I. That instant stuff is magic. A quick cup to continue a very busy day full of chores and errands. She recently eyed my electric water boiler. Next time I head to her place, I'll have a gift for her.
Someone send me a bag of freshly roasted coffee! Haven't bought one in a while now. #withdrawalsymptoms
Have you tried Full City Coffee Roasters? They look like they mean business. Roasting and brewing coffee since 1979
Grinder: Settle 270 Porlex hand grinder Espresso: La pavoni Pro lever espresso machine Filter: V60 Aeropress Kalita Chemex Clever dripper Scales: Acacia pearl black Travel scales Brewista water proof Coffee I have been running for the last week has been a las Brujas geisha from Panama that I got in my trip to the Melbourne international coffee expo. If anyone what's to try some amazing coffee from Australia hit me up I can give endless recomendations
Your laboratory is outstanding! I just got back from a trip to Portland and the hotel was using Vittoria. It was okay, just an Oro blend.
I feel like downspike should have a coffee exchange or Somthing haha I want to show everyone the insanity that is Melbourne coffee and would love to try different roasters from all over the world. Edit: Im going to make this happen
I'm in! @amagad (Southern California) roasts his own and does exemplary work. @azleonhart in Malaysia I know wants in too! @Reily in Eugene, Oregon is looking to dive into the world of coffee too. This is definitely a possibility!
