One of the best things about the Pacific Northwest is the "over"abundance of small drive through espresso stands. The prices are better than Starbucks and 9 out of 10 times the quality is better as well.

I like hot in the mornings and iced later in the day unless it is cold out.
Evan! said:Ah...depends wholly on the method of brewing that was used. The correct cold-brewing method is to steep the grounds in cold water overnight. Many places, however, will take a shortcut and brew hot coffee, then chill it down. That's not nearly as good as the steeping method...and I'll ask the place before I order how they make their iced coffee. But yeah, when it's hot outside, a hot cup of brew in the afternoon is difficult.
Black & bitter or I'll have hot chocolate and triple the cocoa powder. Or maybe mix them. I buy my beans (Kauai) at Trader Joe's. Drank more (coffee and beer) when I had a regular job, they had a very nice machine and Pete's coffee.
Never drank it, never will.
Dude, all goths drink coffee...what are you, vamp?
Is it feasible to get at least decent whole been coffee at or near the price you'd pay for ground?
I started my roasting career with a $30 stove top popcorn popper and a cheap thermometer.
Yup. I buy my beans from here, many great beans delivered for 3-5 $/lb green. I started my roasting career with a $30 stove top popcorn popper and a cheap thermometer.
Are you still using the popper, or have you upgraded to a regular roaster?
Every time I order from Williams Brewing, I see their coffee roasting section and it gets me thinking. (Just what I need...another obsessive hobby!)
