Blue Bottle’s coffee club used to do 2-day Air USPS for all Coffee Subscriptions. It appears they now do ground shipping only yet they still charge the same amount. Meh. Bye Blue Bottle. Not going too support you guys anymore. I vented my frustrations to Blue Bottle Support. Their response: Adam, Thanks for the suggestion! …

Coffee: Blue Bottle will Pre-Grind your Beans Now
I received a box in the mail with a 25 gram serving of Bella Donovan with instructions on the back saying to add 250 grams of hot water and enjoy a single cup. It’s a promotion for Blue Bottle’s upcoming service where they mail you a box of sealed oxygen free packs of pre-ground beans. …
Coffee: Alabaster Coffee Roaster, Williamsport, PA
I try to visit coffee roasters when traveling and the workflow is generally, wake-up in strange town, tired and regretting not closing the blinds the night before because it’s 7AM and the sun is shining right in my face, grab phone, search Yelp for “Pour-Over” in “Current Location” and map a walk to the highest …
Coffee: Akira Beam Heater BH-100 for Coffee Syphon – Review
This burner is simply amazing. In the past 2 months since getting a Syphon, I’ve gone through 3 burners. The Denatured Alcohol burner lacks control over the burn and doesn’t really put out much heat. I bought two $100+ Butane burners who both died after a week and luckily, for all of this, Amazon’s return …

Linked: “The craft coffee trend: it’s pricey, but farmers aren’t getting rich”
via The Guardian: “It was amazing to me that you’d have coffee selling for $80 a pound in Japan and yet the farmer was only making $4 a pound,” he said. “As a guy who didn’t come from that industry I couldn’t get away from the fact that coffee is worth more now than it’s …
Coffee: Maglianero, Burlington VT
Like most of my coffee posts, they’re cross-posted from my Reddit account Hello. This is my ninth Cafe – Roaster review here on /r/Coffee.[1] Thank you all for not down voting these so far. Yelp Link[2] Burlington VT is a college town with a beatnik vibe. There are 3 cafes I’ve visited. The first being Muddy Waters which the …
Coffee: Blue Bottle’s El Salvador Santa Ana El Majahual
I really stick to just a few blends of coffee and Blue Bottle’s Giant Steps and Bella Donavan are two blends that have consistently kept me caffeinated for the last 2-3 years. I’ve stepped away to other roasters a few times a year but keep returning to Blue Bottle and their core blends. In October, …
Coffee: Ipsento Coffee House, Chicago
My third cafe in the most recent visit to Chicago was Ipsento. This place came highly reviewed and I was pretty happy with the quality. Ipsento is on a standard main-street like street with some nicer shops around but hardly the feeling of a gentrified neighborhood. The cafe was pretty small for how busy it …
Coffee: Dark Matter Star Lounge Coffee Bar, Chicago
This is the second cafe I visited on the most recent Chicago trip. Dark Matter caught my eyes a few months ago because I began hearing stories that these guys were making coffee with green beans aged in used whiskey barrels. Yeah, seriously and beyond the fact that I love Bourbon and Scotch, the concept …
