Name: Diesel Cafe Location: 257 Elm Street, Somerville, MA Roaster: Intelligentsia Coffee and Tea Rating: 3- Name: 1369 Coffee House Location: 757 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA Roaster: Barrington Coffee Roasters (espresso) and Kahve Koffee (filter) Rating: 3- Diesel and 1369 represent a certain slice of Boston’s coffee scene. As one Boston coffee person put [...] Good things come to those who wait. At least I hope the old adage still holds true. You see, I visited several of Boston’s cafes last summer (and quite a few elsewhere in New England as well), but never ended up writing about them. I’m not sure if it was procrastination or deep-seated indecision, [...] Beans: Costa Rica Helsar De Zarcero Roaster: Barismo Rating: 4- My father got me some Procrastination cards for Christmas, perfect for puting off thank you notes and nicely serving as a reminder that I never did write about Barismo’s Costa Rica Helsar de Zarcero, which I purchased and consumed last August.

I had high hopes for this coffee based on [...] Bean: Linnaen St. Espresso Roaster: Barismo Rating: 3+ Barismo, blog and coffee roaster, is one of the only two importers I’ve found for the Hario “Skerton” hand mill (the other is Brown Coffee Company). I’ve written about this hand grinder before with some excitement and anticipation, but it has been back-ordered since December. When [...] A huge event took place in coffee back in March. Starbucks purchased the Coffee Equipment Company, gaining ownership of its sole product, the Clover 1s brewer. This news was big because the Clover 1s had been adopted and embraced by specialty coffee shops around the country in a kind of grass-roots, coffee revolution sort of [...] |
