They will require sufficient rest too.

Oh, I actually went to their shop while I was in NYC last winter. Great coffee. Didn't know they did mail order. Thanks for the tip!

Slate comes to mind but I haven't tried them. Isn't Potrero coffe lab down your way? Not sure about their roast.

Thanks! I'll add Kuma to the list.

A google search didn't yield anything for Potrero. Maybe you meant Portola? I've many times when I go south to visit my parents in OC. Good but I don't remember them being "ultra light". Maybe the coffee has changed in the last year or so since quarantine.

Dayglow carries a few European roasters including Coffee Collective and La Cabra. It'll save you shipping.

And La Cabra is very expensive but they offer free shipping worldwide with a fairly low ceiling.

Even harder is waiting a month after roast to start pulling shots once it's on your hands!

I did mean Portola. I like their choice of name. A local to me roaster chose that name but meant 'sugar lab' really and I was sad
