I bought sweetie-pie some Sumatra beans the other day from Peets Coffee and Tea.

Not above buying it from Capricorn Coffees even though they moved out of the City a few years back.

Every now and again when I don't have pressing matters and can stand too long in a line, Philz Coffee will do.

Oh, and there is the Brazilian place in not far from home that does a decent French Roast...don't like their lighter roasts. Freshly roast beans can transform a lower quality bean into something good....I've found higher quality beans with a roast that was some time back to be worse...oxidation is the enemy!

Morgan2's joint, "Breakfast" - 2 shot almond latte. IMO they make hands down the best shot and foam in SB.
Beth with the head to toe tattoos at Good Cup on the Mesa has the best skillz.


At home:

percolator: http://a.co/6LojVfG

Used to drink Peets or whatever was on sale at Vons or trader joes but have recently been turned on to local roasters. I'm fvcked.

I buy from:
-Bird Rock Coffee roasters
-Mostra
-James

I even got a pour over setup that I've previously made fun of.

I don't even want to tell you how much I paid for my last bag of beans :foreheadslap:

Whatever 100% Kona Coffee that's on sale (so many brands and roasters here that you can find good sale prices).

Best coffee I've ever had was at Philz near the Tenderloin. Something from North Africa, I think. Oh man.

I like
Tanzanian Peaberry
Ethiopian Yrgacheff whatever it's called
Guatemalan
Kona
Jamaican Blue Mountain

Also like the mellower roasts at Delicomb and the Maple Tap at Maple Street Biscuit, here in North Jax Beach.

Doof, how would you store beans? I just leave them in the brown bag I dumped them into when I bought them. Probably gets 90 degrees with 99% humidity in my shitbox on Summer weekdays.

I'm not the big coffee drinker, Sweetie-Pie is, so I am not super crazy about tending to the needs of the beverage. I figure that the important thing is a recent roast, a decent bean, the right grind for the beverage choice, consistent technique for the beverage choice, and keep things sealed when not in use.

That said, it is bought as fresh as can be, ground the day of the purchase, put in a sealed glass jar on the counter in the kitchen, and at ambient house temps/humidity...and since we don't really use much heat in the house and mostly leave at least one window open in the foggy City year round.....say, 65 F with ambient humidity....and thanks to the internet, the humidity is:

"Also, notice the seasonality in the humidity figures for SF. It peaks at 68% when it's actually pretty cold, at times when you're not that concerned with feeling too hot as when it's warm. In Summer it's only 59% humid. Human comfort-wise, the optimal humidity for humans is 40%-60%, so you don't feel it being humid because it's quite comfortable; if it was 68% humid in Summer you would actually feel the difference."
