The 10 Scariest Things About Coffee Bean Shop

Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover and you're looking for a place to shop, then you'll need to try out a coffee bean shop. They offer a wide selection of whole beans from around the world. These stores also offer unique trinkets, kitchenware and other things.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others offer them in bulk at their retail locations.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller who specializes in international brews, loose teas, and a variety.

The scent of freshly roasted beans fills the air as you enter this West Village shop. The shelves are filled with jars and sacks filled with dark brown beans, with top 10 coffee beans-making equipment, tea accessories and sugar.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increasing number of Italian immigrants who opened businesses to meet their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the popular Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a drink that was so renowned at the moment, even the Pope would drink it.

Today, Porto Rico sells 130 varieties of beans from around the world at three locations in New York City including their Bleecker Street location, Essex Market and online. The company roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current president and owner of the company was raised over his family's bakery on Bleecker Street where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He runs the business in the same way like his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

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

Sey's focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from a single farmer has been praised by discerning New York City coffee aficionados. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were handpicked at the peak of ripeness, then floated to eliminate any defects and dried fermented for about 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a blend with hints of berry, melon and lemongrass.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the wellbeing of staff, customers, and growers extends beyond the retail store. It utilizes composts and biodegradable products to ensure that waste is kept out of the landfills. This helps reduce greenhouse gases as well as nourish the soil. It also removes gratuities. This allows baristas to focus on their craft and to earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty-coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. They started with a small store and a dedicated team. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing a unique coffee experience has earned them a following not only in their home town but also around the world.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of lots each year in order to select the beans that best fit their ideals. They roast them lightly, adjusting their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more vibrant flavor and clarity.

The East Village store, which was opened in October of last year, has been praised for its high-quality pour overs, as well as the baked goods, overseen and managed by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and other coffee houses.

The shop employs the La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are made by Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, a father and son studio. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves about 250 different types of coffees each year, and typically has seven or eight varieties on offer at any given point.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts its own coffee and brews to order with every cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your preferences in less than minutes. It searches the world wide for the highest-grade specialty beans that are directly sourced that provide customers with a choice and quality.

Their on-site roaster utilizes fluid bed technology that is a bit different to traditional drum-type machines found in the majority of UK coffee houses.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was delicious with a smooth mouthfeel, dark chocolate from the fragrance was present and the coffee started to cool as you sipped, subtle flavours of citrus fruit were evident.

The roasted coffee beans wholesale suppliers will then be taken to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in under a minute. Customers can select from a selection of nine single origin choices and a wide range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

In 2012, the company was established in the back of a barbershop that had one espresso machine in a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans are found at great cafes, restaurants and home brewers in the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to finding the highest-quality coffeee beans, that have been through a lengthy journey before arriving at its roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about the craft and believe that good coffee should be accessible to everyone," have created a environment that is simple and has chalkboards, compost bins, recycled handmade products, and minimal decor.

They roast and make their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there), but they also offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it like a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're off the beaten path however, they're it's worth the trip.
