]]> Comment on Aviano Coffee by ManSeekingCoffee http://manseekingcoffee.com/2008/01/14/aviano-coffee/comment-page-1/#comment-50776 ManSeekingCoffee Wed, 18 Jan 2012 06:03:12 +0000 http://manseekingcoffee.wordpress.com/2008/01/14/aviano-coffee/#comment-50776 Good to know that they now serve Handsome. I haven't been in a long, long time so I'm no authority. I did get to Novo not too long ago and was still very much impressed. If I can get back to Denver sometime soon, I'll have to be sure to re-visit Aviano. Good to know that they now serve Handsome. I haven’t been in a long, long time so I’m no authority.

Always good to get a dissenting opinion. I still stand by my assessment, but I like getting the feedback. They are still around so they clearly must be doing something right and you're right, up near where this is, you don't have too many options unless you're crazy like me and like to drive huge distances for your morning cup of coffee. I have to completely disagree that 10% is acceptable for Kona. The merits of Kona coffee are certainly overhyped, but the notion that you can package something called Kona coffee and have it only be 10% Kona is a terrible crime. It's like "juice" that is only 10% juice. It's deceptive and unconscionable. Then again, if people like it, they should drink it. But if I'm going to the place that is supposedly known for Kona coffee, they should be able to produce a good cup of 100% Kona coffee. As far as Flying star, I was no means happy about this coffee either. I didn't noticed the lack of bag roasting dates. The coffee I purchased there came from the bulk bins. I completely agree a sell by date is not OK. I’m glad you posted. Always good to get a dissenting opinion. I still stand by my assessment, but I like getting the feedback.

I have heard from other reputable coffee folks in the Boston area that Simon's can be a little hit or miss. It's been a while since I've been to Boston so I'm far from up to date, but based upon my not so recent travels there, I'd say that Pavement and Barismo are your two best bets for coffee in the Boston area, although, I'm sure there must be some other contenders these days.

However, I believe that your ratings for the 2 establishments should be reversed. In my opinion the Intelligentsia and Handsome (and sometimes Ecco) coffees served at Aviano are a step above Novo's in terms of complexity and flat our enjoyment. Plus, the baristas at Avaiano are (generally) the best in the city. You obviously have good taste in coffee, as you have found the two cafes in Denver (Aviano and Novo).

Regarding Bad Ass, and for the record I have no formal association with this establishment other than stopping occasionally for a cup of coffee. First, when I am wanting a cup of coffee on the go like a lot of people, I could care less about the name or a tacky theme. For those of us who live in northern Rio Rancho and Bernalillo for quite some time now we have been limited to Starbucks and more recently the Flying Star for coffee stops. Your focus is almost entirely on everything but the COFFEE. Your characterization of this establishment reeks of elitist snobbery. Upon my first visit I asked about the Kona blend and was told it is 10% which made an easy decision for me, order the 100%. For my taste the 100% Kona was more than adequate and not too hot to drink. Again the coffee stop choices in this area are limited. Your review of the Satellite/Flying Star coffee fails to mention nowhere on the bags of whole bean coffee sold in their establishments will one find the roasting date. While there is a "sold by" this makes me very skeptical given the fact that on the bag of coffee Bernstein says the roasting date is always posted, but posted where? I purchase a considerable amount of whole bean boutique roasted coffee locally and online and all have roasting dates clearly written or stamped on the bags. Given the inconsistencies in your so-called reviews it is hard to take you serious. Not sure where to begin with your review of this establishment and for that matter others.
