| Coffee in NYC and Beyond | ||||

Today, I noticed two very interesting coffee articles in The New York Times. Brew a cup of coffee, take a look and share your thoughts in the comments!The first article was a Q&A with Ken Nye of Ninth Street Espresso in "The Diner s Journal." He answers questions about third wave coffee and more in his third Q&A with the paper. (The first was a readers Q&A on coffee and the second was on the economics of coffee bars.) The second article I noticed today was in the "Urban Eye" section. Entitled Java Huts, it s about New York City s emerging third wave/ultra-premium coffee scene. Read back-to-back, these articles almost made me wish I were still living in "The City That Never Sleeps," especially now that there are enough sources of quality caffeine for even the snobbiest of coffee drinkers to pull all-nighters with ease. Then again, as someone based in Portland, OR, I have plenty of fantastic coffee roasters and baristas (not to mention a much lower cost of living) right where I am. New Yorkers, how do you feel about your city s coffee scene? How do coffee fanatics in more established coffee cities (like San Francisco, Portland or Chicago) feel about New York s push toward better coffee?
