Best Coffee in Manhattan
Which is the best coffee vendor in Manhattan? 9th St.? The guys in the Orange Truck? Stumptown? Has there been a serious Manhattan-ONLY coffee-off that includes recent developments?

The best tasting coffee, espresso and cappuccino I've had is at Caffe Follow Me on 62nd between Lexington and 3rd Ave. At #2 is Zibetto and at #3 is Cafe Sabarsky.

I really, really like Joe the Art of Coffee. Really. But I've heard amazing things about Stumptown and good things about Zibetto. If you're looking to exploring Brooklyn, I also like Gorilla Coffee.

Abraco on 7th and 1st.

Abraco in the East Village - hands down. The iced cappuccino is a must.

Zibetto feels more like an espresso place than a drip coffee place to me. Abraco has good coffee but it's very strong, and I think the espresso is better. Stumptown's coffee is a bit too mellow for my preference, but it tastes great. Joe the Art of Coffee is good but not memorable for whatever reason. The Mud Truck doesn't even place. Eh. I think my absolute favorite would have to be either 9th Street Espresso or Jack's Stir Brewed.

I have a roundup of the best coffee in Manhattan in the works. Be on the lookout in the next couple weeks.
By the way, am I the only one who doesn't think Abraco is god-like?

Sorry, this isn't a "best" but...
I really like Kaffe 1668 - it's been consistent when I go there before work. In the interests of economy, I bought a coffeemaker for my office, and have been using Gorilla's Poco Fundo (sp?) beans to make drip coffee.
It's been good enough that I don't need to add milk or sugar. Also, Abraco and Cafe Grumpy lived up to their reputations.
Agreed that the Mudtruck is not very good. Also, 9th Street didn't stand out to me, but I ordered something involving milk, which didn't really allow for evaluating the espresso alone.
