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 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.

Depending on the roaster I can unequivocally say Hell Yes. Especially in this economy. He asked, I crunched the numbers. It hurts the bottom line and my own struggle to keep my doors open but I just gave a struggling wholesale cafe customer a tempor…
Well I have been using a 2 group Nuova Simonelli Aurelia auto daily for about 4 months and it is the bomb for me. A new one is out of that price range, but I have seen nice used ones priced OK. I'm sure there are lots of good commercial machines out…
