Filter Coffee
Recently i've heard rave reviews about Monmouth Coffee in london and some other places in the USA in regards to Filter Coffee....
Everything from filter coffee stands to waiting in line for ages to get into these shops has me wondering - What is the main attraction??
I'm going to go to London next month and go to Monmouth Coffee and see how they do it... A trip to the states may be out of the question until next year :)
Also anyone in the US, how is the Tru-Bru stand working out??

The Monmouth way is I guess unique, which is what made them what they are today. In many ways it kind of reminds me of some of the ways coffee is done, fresh, in asia. I guess the key for Monmouth is every cup made, is fresh- not through a animo, Bunn, Fetco or Bravilor type filter system. This is probably thr main reason they have such a cult following I would say.

Consider an ex-Starbucks 4-group La Marzocco Linea. It's the cheapest way into La Marzocco, and you can get away with less than $5000 easy.
And you'll discover why you wanted a La Marzocco two years down the line.
Make your own. Cold brew in a Toddy or similar system. Dissolve in it an equal amount of sugar by weight. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Try to accomplish this without heating the syrup. It may take a lot of stirring on your part.

The best roaster is any roaster that meets your quality standards that's reasonably close. Freshness counts for a lot in coffee, and even though you need to rest espresso before using it, it's better to have it in your shop so you can have some flex…
well the title says it all, what do you think i should use?
Cincinnati Coffee Emporium is an amazing, yet often underestimated and/or largely undiscovered, roaster. Their Ol' Black Magic espresso blend is out of this world and their SO selection is solid.
Hey Im Garrett I have used pt's roasters,intelligentsia, alterra, coffee klatch, and stumptown in my shop. They are big name roasters and great to work with, also people love that earthy feel all of them have. It also matters were you are located be…
Ja mon, looking for a crack Barista / technician... into art and can train... whip (pardon pun) other staff into shape.

Well the potential volume discount is only part of the equation but in fact that aspect of the "theory" is indeed unproven in my experience. Offering choice is certainly a competitive advantage in mature markets like San Francisco, Portland, and Sea…
Hmmm. Very interesting, Mike. Thanks for adding that.
