Gamut from Chromatic Coffee

I wish to add these to your list:
Batdorf and Bronson's - Dancing Goat
Red Bird's - Red Bird and Blue Jaguar
Counter Culture - Tuscano and Rustico

Plus 1 for Velton's Bonsai and Kuma's RedBear.

I'll also throw in for getting Slate's Kenya Gaturiri and Brazil Fazenda Sao Pedro. Their competition blend at Big Western consisted of 60% gaturiri and 40% Sao Pedro. So very good.

Also, Augies Coffee Roasters.

Dan,

Although I greatly appreciate the mention, unless you have been to our caffe, you probably would not have tasted our espresso. Our espresso is roasted in small batches and seasonal. We change every 7-10 days and we never repeat. So we have 45-50 unique offerings per year. In addition, our whole bean espresso is only sold at our caffe on a first come first serve basis. Generally, after the first three days of a new blend the espresso available for sale will be sold out.

I will be extremely impressed (and honored) if anybody can name a specific espresso they have bought on their journey here.

This thread is going to grow into difficult to follow proportions, but if this one hasn't been mentioned yet, it sounds interesting.

CQ Coffee Motoretta Espresso

Counter Culture - Rustico
has been reviewed in 2012. I just recently picked it up. I really enjoy it. i think most of the reviews and recommendations are still the same....

i am excited to follow along and see what the reviews will turn out.

I scanned the previous posts and collected the list below (sponsors listed in the first post are not included). Please let me know if I missed one. I'll then create a poll where members can select 4 roasters. Those that are in the top half will be randomly selected for review.

It should be noted that Epic Espresso was included in Favorite Espresso Blends 2010, so as with Social Coffee, I'd prefer to see a different Canadian roaster this year.

I seem to remember Intelligentsia being mentioned as well.

Thanks...

Tony
