Ethiopia Sidamo: coffee that tastes like strawberries and cream
Yesterday I picked "Ethiopia Sidamo" from
the thermal pot at my fave local coffee
shop, on a whim. I almost never go with the boring, ordinary Colombian house blend. Sometimes I'm wowed by my
alternative selection, other times it's just coffee.Color me wowed. I can't get enough of this stuff. It tastes like berries. No lie. And I'm sure you're thinking, coffee that tastes like berries? I totally passed that raspberry-flavored stuff up in the coffee aisle at my grocery store. But this is more a terroir thing (do they call it terroir in coffee?). The coffee beans, they're not that different from grapes, after all. Roasting brings out these amazingly complex and, yes, fruity flavors. According to the roaster, Stumptown Coffee, "The cup is Neopolitan ice cream... Intense chocolate, strawberry and creamy vanilla flavors in every sip." Plus it's organic and fair-trade and ohmigod I am so in love with this coffee. I wish I could give you a taste, you'd never be the same.
Top U.S. coffee 'bars' include La Colombe, Ritual Coffee Roasters
I went to
graduate school in Philadelphia, and lived only a few blocks from the famed La
Colombe Torrefaction. I was a student, it was far too hip for me - but I did stop in once or twice for a croissant
and what Food & Wine Magazine calls their "silky cappuccino," naming the caffeinated hotspot the
top U.S. coffee "bar."
So coffee is served at bars, not shops, now? The magazine also picks Ritual Coffee Roasters in San Francisco, Ninth Street Espresso in the East Village, New York; Aloha Island in Beverly Hills and Ruta Maya in Austin. Naturally I think they're ignoring some legendary spots here in Portland (hello, aren't we coffeeville?), like Stumptown Coffee and Ristretto Roasters.
As I've only quaffed java at one of their top five spots, though, I can hardly be a judge. What do you all think: are they missing anyplace else that's truly paradise in a French Press?
