Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're a coffee lover, then you will want to try out a coffee bean shop (visit the next web site). They offer a wide assortment of whole beans from all across the globe. They also sell exclusive trinkets, kitchenware and other things.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others offer large quantities of coffee beans at their retail locations.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller specializing in international brews and a variety of loose teas

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

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrant Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx of Italian immigrants, who had opened businesses to cater to their food requirements. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a drink that was so popular that at the time, even the Pope would drink it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different varieties of beans, which includes beans from all over the world in three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market and online. Porto Rico also roasts its own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC and Brooklyn.

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the company, grew up above his family's bakery located on Bleecker Street where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He runs the business in the same manner as his grandfather and father.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee shop and roaster located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This neighborhood in Brooklyn's Bushwick district, is located on Grattan Street. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee in the loft on the fourth floor just across the street in the year 2011. The name was Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's decision to buy micro-lots, or even whole harvests, from single farmers has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai from Brazil's Espirito-Santo region. The beans were harvested at the peak types of coffee beans 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 coffee with hints of berry lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's commitment to holistically improving the health of employees, customers and growers extends beyond the retail store. It utilizes biodegradable disposables as well as composts to keep waste out of garbage and converting it into agents that reduce harmful greenhouse gases as well as nourish soil. It also prevents gratuities. This allows baristas to concentrate on their work and to earn a living.

La Cabra

La Cabra is a modern specialty coffee company that was founded in Aarhus, Denmark in 2012. The company started with a modest store and a team of dedicated employees. Their innovative and honest approach to providing an outstanding coffee experience has earned them a devoted following not only in their local area and across the globe.

La Carba follows a strict process to find their perfect beans. They go through hundreds of varieties each year to find those that best meet their ideals. They roast them light, adjusting the desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees a more vibrant flavor and clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek minimalist design. It has been praised by international coffee lovers for its meticulous 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 is equipped with a La Marzocco modbar, and the plates and cups are custom-designed at Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent Q&A session with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves approximately 250 different coffees per year, and usually has seven or eight different varieties available at any given moment.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee that roasts its own coffee and brews according to your preferences, with every cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your preferences in less than minutes. It scour countries far and wide for the highest-grade specialty beans, which are directly sourced providing customers with choice and high-quality.

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology which is quite different from traditional drum-type machines found in many UK organic coffee beans houses. The beans are blown inside a heated box with high-velocity air, which is circulated. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was smooth and rich with a velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma. As you sipped the coffee you could smell subtle citrus fruit aromas.

The roasted coffee is then transported to the Eversys super-automatic brewing equipment and the coffee is brewed according to your preferences in under a minute. Customers can pick from a variety of single origins and a range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, using a single espresso machine. It has since evolved into a flourishing coffee roastery, whose beans are available in top cafes and restaurants as well as home brewers all over the city. Parlor is dedicated to procuring high quality coffee beans-quality coffee beans from around the globe, each of which is a long, arduous journey before getting into the roasters.

In their own words according to their own words, they "have a relentless passion for craft and a conviction that good coffee should be accessible to anyone." They accomplish this with their earthy street space, which includes compost bins, chalkboard welcome, handmade up-cycled products and low-frills deco.

They roast their own blends (there were six at the time I was there) and single-origins. But they also hold cuppings on Sundays that are open to the general public. Imagine it as a brewery tasting room--you can smell and taste the ground beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit away from the main roads, but is worth a visit.
