The Coffee I Won't Stop Thinking About

By Alan Curtis

Living in a big city, I can choose from about ten different coffee makers within a few blocks of my apartment. This is a great thing that I definitely try to take advantage of.

Very recently, I saw a new coffee maker in my neighborhood that I decided to try out. Little did I know that I would soon drink a cup of the best coffee I had ever tried.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters is a Portland chain with a very homegrown approach. While they've maintained a limited number of locations, the company's owner recently relocated to Brooklyn, bringing about a few new locations in the New York area.

Many patrons of Stumptown praise the high quality of the entire menu, but I've stuck with the regular house brew so far and it's excellent. The cafe lattes and the cappuccinos are said by many to be even better than the regular coffee.

Interestingly enough, the prices aren't much higher than those that you'd find at a Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. This is a great thing when you consider the difference in the quality of the beans. One negative is the fact that they only accept cash, though I don't know if that's specific to the location I've been to.

Many share my love for Stumptown Coffee Roasters, and the brand has won numerous awards, not to mention the heaps of praise one could easily find for the coffee maker by searching for reviews online.

I've seen people on both the East coast and the West coast claiming that Stumptown brews the best coffee they've ever had. It's rare to find a brand that wins such universal acclaim, especially in coffee cities like Seattle.

If you have a Stumptown near you, consider yourself lucky and try it out. If you don't, hope that the chain expands, and take advantage of any traveling opportunity you may get and try it out. - 31877
