Sey coffee bean near me

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster is located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This Brooklyn neighborhood, in the Bushwick district is situated on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft located across the street from their new location in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's decision to buy micro-lots or whole harvests, from farmers who are one has earned it the acclaim of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In the past, Sey bought a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito Santa region. The beans were harvested at the peak of ripeness, and then floated to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm after a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend with hints of berry, melon and lemongrass.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the well-being of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It makes use of biodegradable plastics and composts, preventing waste from garbage and converting it into agents that lower harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also reduces gratuity. This allows baristas to concentrate on their craft and support their livelihoods.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. They began with a small shop and a dedicated staff. Their honest and innovative approach to providing a superior coffee experience has earned them a devoted fan base not just in their home town, but worldwide.

La Carba has a rigorous process to find their perfect beans, going through hundreds of different lots every year to locate the ones that are perfect for their tastes. They then roast them very light, adjusting the desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees greater clarity and a more vibrant taste.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek, minimalist design. It's been praised worldwide by coffee bean company aficionados for its exacting pour overs and baked goods that are overseen by head baker Jared Sexton, who's previously worked at Bien Cuit and Dominique Ansel.

The shop employs a La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are designed by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different types of coffee per day and has typically seven or eight different varieties available at any given time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer which roasts on-site and brews on demand, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than a minute. It is a search engine for the highest-grade specialty beans that are directly sourced providing customers with the choice and quality.

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology that is quite different from the classic drum-type machines used in most UK coffee houses. The beans are blown into an enclosed box that is heated and has high-speed air that is circulated. This keeps the decaf beans coffee in suspension and ensures a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was velvety and rich with a velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma, and as you sip the coffee you could taste subtle citrus fruit flavors.

The coffee is then be poured into the store's Eversys Super-Automatic brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in under a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origin options and a variety of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, with a single espresso machine. It has since grown into a flourishing coffee roastery, whose beans are sold in top cafes restaurants, cafes, and home brewers throughout the city. Parlor is dedicated to procuring high-quality coffee beans from around the globe, each of which has endured a laborious journey before reaching the hands of its roasters.

According to their own words, they "have an unstoppable passion for craft and a belief that great coffee should be available to anyone." They achieve this by putting their home-like space on a residential street--think compost bins, a chalkboard welcome handmade up-cycled items, and low-frills deco.

They roast and create their own blends and single-origins (there were six at the time I was there), but they also have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting area where you can smell and taste the beans in the ground. They are a mix of earthy and chocolate (one was almost like tomato!). They're off the beaten path however, they're it's worth the trip.
