Blue Bottle's New Orleans–Style Iced Coffee
After having an iced coffee just about daily for the last month, I can easily say the best was Blue Bottle's New Orleans–style iced coffee from Ferry Plaza (the small Bay Area chain has seven other outlets, including one in Brooklyn). The cold-brewed liquid happiness is a much richer, smoother version of the chicory-laced coffee at the famous Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. This one is dark but not too acidic or harsh, with a buttery finish. It's definitely on the dessert end of the iced-coffee spectrum—served over ice chunks with some sugar and a good wrist's worth of milk—but not enough to drown out the dark, deep, chicory flavors underneath.Comment of the Day: A-hole Coffee Drinkers
"The complexity of one's coffee order is directly proportional to how big of an a-hole that person is." —Lobelia von Mauvaise, on "Having It Your Way: Is Too Much Choice Ruining Coffee?"Micro-sized Texan Coffee Roasters Making a Global Impact
While Texas may not be famous for supporting small business, there has been a few exceptions, and independent micro-roasters are a prime example. We have come across a few special individuals doing mighty big things across Texas, whose impact may soon spread beyond the Lone Star State.Iced Coffee Roundup: McDonald's, Starbucks, and Dunkin' Donuts
If there's one thing we all do on the fly, it's grab coffee. So it's a natural candidate for the fast-food world. Recently, McDonald's began offering Iced Coffee, stepping on the toes of Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. All three offer standard iced coffees, as well as sweet and flavored twists on the iced coffee theme. Intrigued, I set off to compare the three offerings.Street Food Profiles: Joes on the Nose in San Diego, California
It's time for another street food profile. This time we zoom over to San Diego to meet a drink truck, not a food truck. David Wasserman sells socially responsible coffee, teas, hot chocolates, cold brewed iced coffee (and tea), blended drinks, and more to a Southern California beach bum clientele.Video: 'Caffe' from 'Un Americana in Italy'
Sky Dylan-Robbins, in her ongoing series Un'Americana in Italia, has been producing great videos about Italy's iconic foods. She just poured a fresh hot cup of video coffee. A great eye-opener to start the day.Gadgets: Bodum French Press Travel Mug
Taking your French press to go seems like a brilliant idea—spare me four more minutes in my morning and I'm yours—which is why I jumped at Bodum's new French press travel mug.Coffee Tree to Cup in Brazil: Part 3, The Processing
Step out of a car at Octavio's processing plant and you're instantly hit with the smell: toasty, warm, nutty, like a peach pit drying in the Georgia sun. It's the smell of drying coffee beans—also, of course, the seeds of a fruit. But how they go from soft cherries to green, dry beans is quite an involved process.Coffee Tree to Cup in Brazil: Part 2, The Harvest
If this online media thing doesn't work out, I'm moving to Brazil as a coffee harvester. At least, that's what went through my head after a morning stripping cherries from the coffee trees of the Nossa Senhora Aparecida farm outside Pedregulho, Brazil. It's hard labor, if not back-breaking; an hour in the fields certainly left this reasonably fit author in a sweat. But the elegance with which expert pickers fill sacks of Skittle-rainbowed coffee beans makes their work seem at least as much art as chore. (The verdant postcard views and piercing 70-degree winter sun certainly wouldn't hurt, either.)Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
