I fortunately have many local roasters in my area, but I found one within walking distance and it isn't stupid expensive (looking at you George Howell, delicious but pricey). And they give me $1 off since I bring my own containers so I don't need a bag. Del's Coffee in Waltham if anyone is in the area!

There's nothing better!

I live in a tiny town in Brittany, France and have a great roaster here called Cafés Celtik. They opened about five years ago, and they're doing pretty well, selling to supermarkets and so on.

Torrefaction (roasting) is growing in France, but coffee making not so much. Not a lot of people in France, even cafés, care about things like roasting dates. So you really have to go in to their shop to buy.

Also check out Bourbon d'Ansel and Café 1802. About 1/3 the price of Paris roasters. Speaking of stupid expensive.

That's awesome! Glad y'all found one another :)

When I was in Chicago IL USA, I was fond of Stivers Coffee. Solid folk roasting solid beans. https://www.pbs.org/video/labor-love-drives-meticulous-stivers-coffee-operation-quj8xo/

I've got a host of options near me in my new home of Portland OR - there's a lot to try! It's exciting :)

What are some of your favorites in Portland? I never branch out because I get my coffee for free 😂

[-] handofdumb@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Lol free is always best!

Honestly, I have yet to find better than Stumptown, but admittedly I have not tried much by way of local beans. Stumptown is nationwide and all, but the Holler Mountain roast always hits right (I typically just make cold brew), even when I was in Chicago! Lol

I have heard good things about Water Avenue though! They're next for me.

What kinda free coffee are you usually drinking? Or are they from mystery beans?

[-] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I haven't had Water Ave in years but it was always good when I had it. I work for Nossa Familia, so that's my source of free beans. Of course I'm biased but I really like our Full Cycle blend for all brewing methods including espresso.

If you like natural processed coffees try out Push Pull. They're in inner SE.

I appreciate the recs, friend :) Nissa Familia and Push Pull are next on my list!
