One Of The Biggest Mistakes That People Make With Coffee Bean Shop

Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a lover of coffee then you'll want to check out the coffee shop. These shops provide a variety of whole beans from around the globe. These stores also sell unique trinkets, kitchenware and other products.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others offer them in Bulk Coffee Beans at their retail stores.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee shop that specializes in international brews, as well as a variety of loose teas

When you walk into this traditional West Village shop, the aroma of freshly roasted beans fills your nose. Open bags of dark-brown beans line the shelves, along with sugar jars, coffee-making equipment as well as tea accessories.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrant Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increase in Italian immigrants who had opened establishments to cater to their dietary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a beverage that was so famous in the present, that even the Pope would drink it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including beans from all over the world at three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. The company also roasts their own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, current owner and president, grew up in the family bakery on Bleecker Street, where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He continues to operate the shop in the same way to his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is situated on Grattan Street. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders started roasting coffee in a loft on the fourth floor, just across the street, in the year 2011. The name was Lofted unroasted coffee beans. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's commitment to buying micro-lots, and even whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were handpicked at the peak of ripeness, then floated to remove defects and dried fermented for 36 hours prior to being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's goal of holistically improving the wellbeing of growers, staff and customers extends beyond the retail store. It uses biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of landfills and turning it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gas emissions and feed the soil. It also does away with gratuity, a move that places baristas in the position to sustain their livelihoods and encourage them to concentrate on their profession.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee company, was established in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small store and a dedicated staff. Their honest and innovative approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a devoted fan base not just in their local area but also around the world.

La Carba has a rigorous method of identifying their ideal beans, searching through hundreds of different lots a year to find the ones that fit their ideals. They roast them in a very light style before dialing them in to achieve their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees a brighter taste and clarity.

The East Village store, which was opened in October of last year, has been praised for its top 10 coffee beans-quality pour-overs, as well as the baked goods, overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and various coffee houses.

The shop uses the La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are made by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, an artist-run by a father and son. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different coffees per day and usually has seven or eight varieties on offer at any time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer which roasts on-site and brews on demand, with every cup of coffee roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than one minute. It searches the world for the highest-quality specialty beans that are sourced directly providing customers with the choice and quality.

Their roaster on site is a fluid bed device, which is different from traditional drum machines found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through a heated container with high-speed air that is circulated. This keeps the beans in suspension and ensures a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was smooth and rich with a velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma, and as you sipped the coffee, you could detect subtle citrus fruit aromas.

The coffee that has been roasted will be poured into the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origins as well as several blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop with a single group espresso machine. It has since developed into a burgeoning coffee roastery, with beans that can be found in great cafes and restaurants as well as home brewers all over the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to procuring the finest quality beans, which have all been through a long journey before reaching its roasters.

In their own words in their own words, they "have an unrelenting passion for craft and a belief that good coffee should be accessible to everyone." They achieve that by creating a simple area on a residential street. Think compost bins, a chalkboard welcome hand-made up-cycled goods, and low-frills deco.

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, but they also host cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Think of it as an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was very tomato-like!). They're off the beaten track but are is worth a visit.
