Hey everyone,

I thought, as this is a pretty small community, it would be interesting to have a discussion on everyone's favorite rosters in their region/country and what kind of coffee you like best from there.

In Belgium, I really like Mok Coffee in Leuven. They have some solid Ethiopian roasts.

In Boston area, I really like Pavement Coffee! They have a few locations around here. I’ve used their coffee for pour over and espresso and it’s great for both!

As a nice bonus, they also have great homemade bagels.

I make it to Boston like once a year I'm gonna check them out next time, got a recommendation for roast?

[-] WooChooTrain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, their house blend is really good (Rathskeller House Blend). I also like the Genji Challa for a lighter roast.

In NYC, I really like Devocion , and in the Bay Area (Northern California) I really like Chromatic.

The local wholesale clubs sell two pound bags of their beans for $15.

Nylon Coffee is skate or bicycle away from home.

They also drop freshly roasted beans on a vending machine so I can pickup beans anytime. I prefer african/floral variety so skipped their South American heavydeliver-to-home-subscription.

@JustEnoughDucks
Lilo coffee roasters in Osaka is my overall favourite.

Testing to see what happens when I reply to a #Lemmy subject here on #mastodon

Maine here! Precipice Coffee in Ellsworth has some incredible light roasts, and for more body Speckled Axe in Portland, wood fire roasted coffee, top notch stuff

I really enjoy Black and White coffee roasters of of Wake Forest, NC. They experiment with a huge variety of things. I choose from their single origin options every time I'm low. From clean to funky, I really enjoy getting a new experience with each new bag.

What does the clean/funky label mean though? I purchased from them from time to time but can't really understand it.

I had a really hard time figuring that out as well, until I got into food fermentation. There are certain aspects of flavor and scent like boozy fruits or muskiness that are generally referred to as "funky".

A lot of it comes down to the processing method for coffee. For natural processes where the coffee cherry's fruit body is left on the bean during fermentation, you're a lot more likely to get these funky notes.

For "washed" processes where the fruit body is removed before fermentation, you get more of the flavor from the coffee bean itself. These tend to be more "clean" in flavor notes.

https://kafferosterietkoppar.se/ Free shipping all over Sweden, always freshly roasted. They have a subscription I like where they send you a new different bean every month.

Probably beats Hemköp coffee by a bit, I will have to see if I can get some next time I am there! Reddit refugees are always welcome!

The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.
