Illy for me too, in my stove top pot.
I've been eyeing up a Rancilio Espresso machine though. -
Try this out… All over SF and then one in BK, NY. A majority of the folks who worked in SF all moved out to NY to open up the BK spot. My boy Brian from SF now lives out there. If you are in NY, make sure to stop through!!!

i had a few cups of blue bottle while i was in sf too. theres a kiosk just down the st from my friends shop in japantown. its pretty good, but they only had the chiapas. which coincidentally is exactly what they had last time i was there in december. it's good, but i think it is 3rd behind sightglass and four barrel but better than ritual

Wow, apparently Coffee is a big deal to you all. If it is hot and not "instant" crap, I am in. No reason for me to spend my time obsessing about something that is just going to be pissed out of me 20-30 minutes later. Just my opinion but I can respect most fetishes and obsessions so proceed without me…

My obsession (or addiction) with coffee predates my japanese denim and Alden fanfare.
Secret to a good coffee (and it doesn't cost you more than a meal)…
1. Bring water to a boil... turn it off and wait 1 minute.
2. Grind your coffee. I suggest using a Baratza coffee grinder.
3. Freshly grinded Coffee + Filter + Chemex coffee brewer…
+
4. Add the Hot Water…
Presto... good yummy coffee. (add cream/sugar according to your discretion).

I'm more of a tea time person and drink coffee less often, but as usual, YMMV.

Do any of you coffee lovers know a good way to make iced coffee?
Or any of you like Chicory blends and have some to suggest? I've figured out what i like…Use a cold extraction method to brew your iced coffee, as opposed to a hot brew, then icing that. It lessens the bitterness and you get a taste more true of the coffee your using because you do not have to use very much cream and sugar. Also, it's a little hard to get, but coffee from Cuba is the shit, IMO.

toddy makes pretty good cold brew equipment

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
http://thegreydog.com/catalog/Looks like a good place though! Anyone familiar with it?
