regional coffee culture, part xiii

"it's a vibrant, safe and nurturing environment where I can get legal advice, find out how to get my dishwasher fixed and hear about a house for sale in one morning," says one coffeehouse owner.

yes, today finds a great overview on the coffee scene in richmond, virginia.

and here's another slice of the coffee culture in liberal oregon: coffee for political fundraising.

also, a writer sings the praises of a homey new coffee bar in fort worth, texas, moka java.

before i forget, has anyone else seen the midnite espresso cocktail around? it's a mix of vodka, frangelico, and shaken with a shot of espresso. . .i found it recently on the lower east side here in nyc.

finally, lemme recommend a blend for you home-roasters to try out: kenya "kirinyaga estate" aa, costa rica "montana esmeralda" tarrazu, sumatra lintong, and a brazil washed cereja. take this one to just before or to the very first dots of oil, what i would call full city.
