Food & Wine: Best Boutique Coffee Roasters

[HB]

Generally I ignore national magazine "top five" lists, though I certainly agree with the choice of roasters in this one by Food & Wine:

1. Stumptown Coffee Roasters
2. Terroir Coffee Company
3. Counter Culture Coffee
4. Barefoot Coffee Roasters
5. Intelligentsia Coffee

It's especially heartwarming to see HB supporters and sponsors among the winners.

Dan,
I would agree. Most of those national polls are ridiculously off-base, but Food & Wine pulled a shocker! They got it very close to right. Some could argue one or two of the positions, but that has GOT to be the most accurate poll I've ever seen on a national level on any subject.
Kudos to all of the roasters and the cafes on the list.

Now I have to order some Hairbender. Never had a chance to try it.

I'm amazed too -- one can argue about top X list, but these five would surely be in most altie's top 10. This may be some sort of milestone.
