    Thanks for the tip. Off topic and belated but thanks for the Little Vietnam Cafe tip too. Friendliest staff in the world and the Banh Mi is great.

    SF:
    sightglass never serves a bad cup
    bluebottle on 18th street is never crowded. plus you can enjoy your cup and browse heath ceramics.
    4 barrel is good. their slow bar or caledonia alley station to avoid the lines that go out the door
    de la paz on mission and 7th is barebones but good coffee. blends only. they just got bought up by 4b.
    sonia cafe on 16th & sanchez serves Verve Coffee Roasters. My fav. right now.

    or come to rainbow and buy a ton of different kinds. everything mentioned up above plus many more.

    BLACK COFFEE.
    FTW.

    Tonx Coffee is the way to go. Every bag has been incredibly diverse and amazing.

    speaking of "expresso" I once overheard a child ask their mom "what is that machine?" Mom explained: "That's an expresso machine. they call it that because you can make it faster than regular coffee."

    oooooh try again!

    That's really funny missy. For what it's worth (as if anyone reading this thread doesn't already know) "espresso" means "pressed," referring to the high-pressure method by which the coffee is made.

    I know they're endangered but IMHO "pull" or levered espresso machines still rule. Putting a little muscle into it just feels better than pushing a button.

    Fun fact ;
    Luigi Bezzera, the precursor to what was to become espresso machine wanted to reduce his staff coffee break time, so he made a machine that brewed coffee much faster (express) , using pressure.

    the past month I have been making "bulletproof coffee" every morning. i like it.

    Ingredients
    1 cup of organic coffee, herbal coffee or chai tea
    1 tablespoon coconut oil (or more, I usually put in 2-3 tablespoons)
    1 teaspoon organic grassfed unsalted butter (I get it here)
    ΒΌ tsp vanilla
    a few drops of stevia extract (optional)
    Instructions
    Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Mix on high speed for 20 seconds until frothy. Drink immediately and enjoy all the energy!

    I have to agree, their beans are flavorful and pretty cheap. My regular grocery store ( Giant Iggle) has a buy one get one sale on Eight O'clock Bean bags about every 5 months. I buy the sh*t outta their Italian Roast, it's delicious.

    Right now we have a Bunn 10 cup maker, Keurig for late night decaf...and I'm looking for an espresso machine. Blue collar budget... like under 250 dollars.

    I never drank coffee, when I was in the Army all the old guys drank it, we called it lifer juice. Then we did two months of training with the Spanish Army in Spain, given daily field rations by their cooks. Every morning we got a big mug of coffee mixed with hot chocolate. I've been a fan ever since.

    my fave coffee bar here in Mannheim/Germany. They offer dozens of different sorts from all over the world, i prefer the one from Peru highlands, especially with a small shot of caramel flavour and some cream......perfect !

    I love coffee but don't like caffeine withdrawal so l only have it a few times a week. When I buy beans, it's low tech all the way. Manual ceramic burr grinder and either pour over or french press. There are a good amount of great coffee shops it San Diego so really it comes down to the beans and how you like them roasted. My favorite places are Zumbar, Cafe Virtuoso, Dark Horse Coffee, and Cafe Moto. Bird Rock Coffee, Coffee & Tea Collective, and Joes On The Nose (Coffee Truck) are also worth checking out.
