All Things Coffee
just received the latest issue of Food and Wine yesterday. one of the first headlines to catch my eye? "Coffee fanatic's guide - Perfect Beans and the top machines" where they review the top brew bars, beans and grinders. one place i'm interested in checking out when i'm back home is Ritual Coffee Roasters in the Mission District. and for those out in NY, there's a place in the East Village called Ninth St. Espresso where they are supposed to serve a very good cup of brew.
to read the F&W article:
