Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee seller specializing in international brews, as well as a variety of loose teas

When you walk into this old-school West Village shop, the aroma of freshly coffee beans fills your nostrils. Open sacks of dark-brown beans are stacked on the shelves along with sugar jars, coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese. Greenwich Village at the time was experiencing an influx types of coffee beans Italian immigrants, who had opened businesses to satisfy their dietary needs. Albanese named the shop after the famous Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a beverage that was so renowned at the moment, even the Pope would drink it.

Peter Longo, the current owner and president of the company was raised above the bakery of his family on Bleecker Street where his father was the owner of Porto Rico. He continues to run the shop in a similar manner as his father and grandfather.

Sey Coffee

It is located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a cafe and a roaster. Tobin Polk, Lance Schnorenberg and their 33-year-old co-founders began roasting coffee beans near me in an apartment on the fourth floor just across the street, in the year 2011. They named it Lofted Coffee. Local clients included Greenpoint's Budin, and Soho cart services Peddler and Peddler.

Sey's decision to buy micro-lots or whole harvests, from single farmers has earned it the respect of New York City coffee enthusiasts. The last time Sey was in the market, he purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai, a Brazilian coffee from the Espirito-Santo region. The beans were picked at their peak ripeness, floated to get rid of any imperfections and then dried fermented for 36 hours before being dried on the farm. The result is a cup that is fragrant with hints of fruit and melon.

Sey's dedication to holistically improving the quality of life for employees, customers and growers extends beyond the shop. It makes use of biodegradable disposables and composts to keep waste out of garbage and converting it into substances that help reduce harmful greenhouse gases and enrich the soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that puts baristas into a position to provide their livelihoods and encourage them to focus on their craft.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee company, was established in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny store and a dedicated staff. Their honesty and ingenuity to providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a following, not just in their home town but all over the world.

La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They scour through hundreds of varieties each year to select the beans that best fit their ideals. Then, they roast them in a very light style, dialing them in to achieve their desired flavor profile. This gives the coffees greater clarity and a more vibrant taste.

The East Village store, which opened in the month of October last year was praised for its premium pour-overs, as well as the baked goods, overseen and managed by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and other coffee establishments.

The shop uses a La Marzocco modbar and the plates and cups are custom-designed at Wurtz ceramics in Horsens, which is a father-son studio. In a recent Q&A with Atlanta Coffee Shops, General Manager Ian Walla reveals that La Cabra serves around 250 different coffees per year, and typically has seven or eight varieties available at any given point.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts on-site and brews on demand, with each cup of coffee being roasted and brewed according to your preferences in less than an hour. It searches the world for the finest specialty beans that are directly sourced to give customers the option of the option of choice and quality.

The roaster they have on site is an automatic fluid bed machine which is different from traditional drum machines found in UK coffee bean coffee shops. The beans are blown about in a heated container by high-speed air that keeps the green beans in suspension and allows roasting to happen at a consistent rate as they move through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was rich and velvety with a velvety flavor. Dark chocolate was evident from the aroma and as you sip the coffee you could smell subtle citrus fruit flavors.

The coffee that has been roasted will be transferred to the Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines to be brewed according your specifications in less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origin selections and a wide range of blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 behind a barbershop, using a single espresso machine. It has since morphed to become a burgeoning roastery, and its beans can be found in great cafes, restaurants, and home brewers all over the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to sourcing the highest quality beans that have all been through a long journey before arriving at its roasters.

The owners, who self-described as "passionate about craft and believe that good coffee should be accessible to all," have created a space that is down-to earth, with chalkboards, compost bins and up-cycled products, and low-frills decor.

They roast and create their own blends as well as single-origins (there were six at the time I was there) They also offer cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Imagine it as a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). It's a little off the beaten path but worth the journey.
