FORTY WEIGHT IN BROOKLYN

THERE IS SOMETHING TO BE EXCITED ABOUT IN PARK SLOPE BROOKLYN,(THIS IS NOT OFTEN THE CASE) FORTY WEIGHT COFFEE ROASTERS (THAT I FIRST MET IN THE SYRACUSE FARMERS MARKET IN UPSTATE NY) HAVE MADE THIER WAY TO 6TH AVE AND 12TH ST IN THE SOUTH SLOPE. THEY SHARE THE SPACE WITH SWEET WOLF'S (AN IMPRESSIVE BRICK OVEN IS INSTALLED IN THE BACK) FORTY WEIGHT IS SERVING THEIR ROAST AND SELLING IT IN WHOLE BEAN AS WELL. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THE WALK SOUTH FOR A CUP OR A POUND TO GO.

PORTOBELLO

THERE WERE A HANDFUL OF GREAT FINDS ON THIS TRIP (POST TO FOLLOW) AND MIRKO FROM ORANGE COFFEE-WHO SETS UP SHOP AT THE PORTOBELLO MARKET WAS DEFINITELY A HIGHLIGHT, WITH ONE OF THE BEST COFFEES I HAD IN THE UK. ALL MADE OUT THE SIDE PANEL OF HIS '76 VW BUS.

A LESSON FROM TARTINE:

PERFECT CUP

MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF GREEK COFFEE WAS NOT A GOOD ONE (TOILET WATER CAME TO MIND, I'LL CONSIDER THE SOURCE.) THAT OF COURSE ALL CHANGED WHEN I LEARNED (AND TASTED) THE PROPER WAY.
