Hello ! Love your reviews..Really informative and have helped me find some great coffee..Have you ever tried any roasters out of the St.Louis,Missouri area ?
Hello there, glad to hear it and thanks for the support. Two immediately come to mind: Blueprint and Sump. Believe we have some very old one cup reviews of both on this channel but a little bit of familiarity with both outside of that too. It's been a bit since we've had either, but both are pretty well regarded as far as St. Louis based roasters go
Hey I'm from STL! As Julian said, Sump and Blueprint are the two highest regarded roasters. They are both more developed than I like, but not too dark. quarrelsome is another good option if you like heavily processed coffees, as they do interesting yeast inoculations. Comet Coffee is the best multi-roaster in town, they carry a lot of the best roasters from around the world, can't recommend them highly enough. They also usually do free public cuppings on Saturdays around 3 👀 👀👀
I grew up around STL, but haven't been back in a while. Just wanted to 2nd what @pauldaplayfulpanda3042 said about comet coffee. Their sourcing is insane. Like one of the most interesting in the US that I've come across. I know some people that worked at blueprint. Coffee is solid, but a bit developed.
@@pauldaplayfulpanda3042 Awesome,I'm from the eastside,but I hit all of the shops I can across the bridge..I really like Blueprint and they offer some really options..I like Sump as well,but to me they actually roast on the lighter side which I like,but my previous grinder didn't..Some local roasters that have impressed me recently have been Idle Roasting out of Alton,Il they roast on the modern side...Stringbean Coffee out of Maryland Heights for a more traditional cup...Goshen Coffee Roasters out of Edwardsville,Il for a variety..And Coma Coffee out of Clayton...I did like Quarrelsome when I had a cup from them inside the shop,but have never tried their beans at home..I'm always trying to find new roasters locally..I do a good bit of online buying as well and really loved Black And White Coffee Roasters,but they change so much..I got an anaerobic Gamatui from them once and it was the most uniquely tasting coffee I've ever had ! Very very boozy..I tend to go for those funky almost sour type of roast profiles,bit also like some good old traditional as well sometimes..
Great review, thanks for all you work. I don't drink almost any Brazilian filter coffee, this makes me curious! I don't like chocolate or cocoa notes in filter, that's why I try to avoid this origin
I'm pretty much in the same boat, but I often hear that there are a lot of Brazilian coffees out there with much more of a fruit forward feel, roasters just like to buy those sort of Brazilians because it's what consumers expect from a Brazil. We'll certainly review more Brazils in the future, cheers ☕️
@@CoffeeReviewsI will try to open my mind! On the other hand 90% of the available roasters here offer traditional Brazilian flavours notes such as caramel, toffee... Just the opposite to my preferences. Thanks for letting me know about this roaster, I didn't know about it, seems lovely although UK to EU customs are a nightmare...
