« London, Reloaded: Day Five | Main | Viavor: Footwear That Fits » July 3, 2006A "Damn Fine" Cup Of Coffee(With apologies to Agent Cooper for the title.) One of my coworkers, Joe, is a coffee fanatic. He and his wife have recently gotten into the coffee business, growing, roasting and selling Nicaraguan beans from their family farm over the Internet. Their outfit is called "Cafe de Apante" As you might imagine, Joe's been providing a lot of free samples to his fellow Planners, and I, as a good caffeine-addicted Seattleite, have been all too happy to indulge. However, a good cup of coffee at the office is one thing ... but how does it perform during some lazy-Sunday-morning power-lounging? So I bought a one-pound bag to take home for use in my French press, just to see. Wow! It's wonderful stuff: smooth, strong, eminently drinkable. It makes anything I've ever had from the store (Torrefazione, Millstone, Starbucks, etc.) taste pretty gnarly. It's not the cheapest stuff you'll drink (I spent about $14 for my one-pound bag, but I've no idea if that's got some kind of "employee discount" built in to it), but if you're a coffee person, give it a try. You won't be sorry. Posted by Gavin Shearer at July 3, 2006 10:05 AM. Posted to Cool. CommentsShade-grown and fair trade?
