my friend rafael introduced me to the best damn coffee place in SF a few weeks back. it’s more of a coffee stand than a place. regardless, there’s always a line out front. and now probably more so that orange magazine wrote an article on it. blue bottle coffee is pretty damn fantastic. very tasty coffee & espresso drinks. granted, a $3.00 latte should come with a back-rub, serious make-out session, or hand job to condone such a fee (for realsies people - it doesn’t cost that much at all to make a coffee drink, yo). but sans hand jobs & back-rubs, blue bottle’s latte is the best tasting latte i’ve had in a long long time. yes, dare i say it’s better than ritual. both places go for the fancy lil’ foam/espresso arty finish, which i think adds another 25¢ to the drink. check it out when you can.
i will be doing a group taste comparison between coffee made with blue bottle coffee beans and coffee made from some fresh & delicious weasel coffee beans (brought to me recently from vietnam). Weasel coffee is highly similar to civet coffee, except with a weasel. should be good.
