I thought Q was brewing Stumptown now.
Jennifer, that's exactly what I was gonna post, word for word! :-) Proud that Stumptown hails from Portland and that Q Cafe deemed it worthy!
Isn't Starbucks from around there?
Haha jk.
Zoka is pure delight. I brew it at home as well. It's great, but there is just something special about having them pull the shots for you right there in the store...mmmmm.
My favorite is Pegasus (french roast), which is roasted in a little town (Winslow) on Bainbridge Island across Puget Sound from Seattle. It is a favorite many places here on the Olympic Peninsula.

i hope to be getting the espresso from my coffee shop to you soon! maybe next week sometime!
I agree! My friend/colleague (thanks, Bill!) turned me onto Intelligentsia Tres Santos Columbia during the holidays! I am now a faithful Internet buyer of the blend. It is wonderful!
Ok Michelle, A more serious answer. For the best coffee - get the beans green from the grower in Honduras (other locations are probably good as well). Sort and roast in small quantities (an air popcorn popper works well), grind and brew within a day or so. Beats all of the ones listed above - no comparison.
But when the above is not available... I am usually most concerned with quantity, proximity, and cost, taste is far down the list, most varieties are passable.
Murky Coffee in DC brews Counter Culture Coffee from Durham, NC. It's the best coffee I've ever had. I'll have to echo the sentiments on home roasting though.
scot, it's hard to rank the top roasters. they are all so close and really comes down to personal taste. i can't argue with intelligentsia. we wanted to partner with zokas but decided near the of our decision process to go with stumptown. they are a great roaster and their commitment to direct trade was what won us over. folks will be hearing more and more about stumptown...
I mentioned it before. Thanksgiving Coffee, from Fort Bragg, CA. "Not just a cup, but a just cup." I particularly enjoy the Grey Whale blend and the Mendocino Bakery blend, while my wife is partial to the Dutch Chocolate.
Scot,
Awwww... The smell of good Seattle coffee...
By the way,
Tomorrow marks two years since my aortic dissection. I just wanted to thank you again for posting all those updates.
God is good.
