wow, lots of good espresso out there but I'm really surprised not to see Tom's <em>Classic Italian Espresso </em>on the list. SWEETMARIA's.COM baby! if you have someone who will roast it for you locally get it green but he also sells in roasted.

<p>No prob Matt! My espresso journey has slowed down a little since starting this thread, when I started this thread I was working somewhere where I didnt like the coffee, so I was buying coffee all the time. In the last few months ive started working somewhere where the coffee is amazing.(What a concept!) Anyway... Yes Hairbender has been great! Cost is reasonable, shipping is fast, and its super tasty. Ive ordered it more than once. Ive ordered both Tuscano and Aficionado by Counter Coulture…</p>
<p>No prob Matt! My espresso journey has slowed down a little since starting this thread, when I started this thread I was working somewhere where I didnt like the coffee, so I was buying coffee all the time. In the last few months ive started working somewhere where the coffee is amazing.(What a concept!) Anyway... Yes Hairbender has been great! Cost is reasonable, shipping is fast, and its super tasty. Ive ordered it more than once. Ive ordered both Tuscano and Aficionado by Counter Coulture they both were way darker than I expected. It took some tweeking on my part to insure no roasty taste was coming threw. Ive started roasting myself since starting this thread, and so far the only coffee ive roasted for espresso is sweet marias <font><u><a rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer;" href="http://www.sweetmarias.com/coffee.central.salvador.php?coffee=ElSalvadorSantaRita2011#ElSalvadorSantaRita2011"><font color="#000080"><u>El Salvador Molino de Santa Rita </u></font></a></u></font> and (shockingly to me) it actually turned out decent. Next on my list of places to try is Redbird espresso. So once that comes in I can give an update.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also home-barista.com has a "best espresso of the year poll" and that has giving my some ideas on what i should try next. Thanks for asking Matt.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh and Sightglass's owls howl is still the best in San Francisco! (also the person who called this coffee "pedestrian" now serves it at the cafe she works at, ha!)</p>
