Coffee

I must confess I'm not a big coffee drinker, but my other half is a Barista Maestro for Costa. I tried to get her some of this for fun, but the postage was insane for the UK:

Grey Dog's Coffee

Looks like a good place though! Anyone familiar with it?

if she's a barista - buy her some raw denim. I love the used jeans from baristas, the get such a nice dirty look. See e.g. on context clothing.

She'd love some for work, but sadly they have to wear all black and no jeans.  Savages…

For me, Since I'm an Indonesian, kopi luwak is still the best

Isn't that really really expensive? 

[gws14l]

The Self Edge Passion #1 - Coffee

All of our employees and managers across our three stores have many passions in common. One of those is coffee.
We love the idea behind the process and ritual behind the making and drinking of an espresso or coffee of any kind.
There is a coffee outfit in New York City by the name of The Coffee Foundry which we've been quite impressed by.

Run by two guys from Brooklyn, they roast beans in their back yard then serve their coffee in multiple variations from espresso to single cup pour-overs in their West Village cafe. We don't just love them because they wear our jeans, they make some of the most soulful coffee you've ever tasted.
From single plantation beans to timing your every espresso pull, this is what coffee is and these guys Do It Street.

i must admit when i first saw this advertised on se i thought wtf but then one day while i was taking my mom out she suggested we get coffee, something we havent done in years. this being the perfect excuse to try this place out; i suggested it and we went. and i must say the san ignacio slow drip that they have there is without a drop some of the best coffee ive had in years. definitely going back to get another cup when i am around the area.

I'm such a junkie I bought a Gaggia Cubika for work:

Woe betide anyone who uses my Illy and doesnt buy more…..........

[Geo]

lol - quite right too

my Glasgow team bought the gaggia classic and now the smell of the coffee is luring other teams and offices down to that corner . . . good and bad to that I guess

the current fav seems to be the Kaanapali Single Estate - I think thats from Maui

[cowsareforeating]

single origin coffees are real good but idk if they're enough to warrant the price if you're not extracting via espresso…

[Geo]

totally, only one brew made - we're all espresso fiends . . . well a couple make up they're own brews, but they chip in - so they can drink it however they want

I've just swapped my Gaggia Coffee for a Citiz Nesspresso pod machiene. I just can't be doing with the mess and time involved with the Gaggia. I'm acctually quite surprised how close in quality the Nesspresso coffee is to what comes out of the Gaggia, its not quite as good but darn close!

If anyone in the UK wants to make me an offer a well used but good Gaggia Coffee , PM me.

Glad to see a coffee thread!  I am a bit of a coffeegeek myself.  Here is a picture of my setup.  It is an Alex by Izzo MK1 and a Mazzer Super Jolly.  Right now I am using beans from Sterling Roasters here in Portland Oregon!  Old picture shows Stumptown Hairbender.

Wow, love your setup!
