Putting Minnesota On the Map of Fine Fine Coffee!!

Fine Fine coffee.
Everyone always asks...where is the best coffee??
There is alot of stellar coffee if you know where to look....
What are we looking for??
Deep, rich reddish brew...
smooth flavor....coffee should taste like wine- it's all about the coffee to water ratio, it's about the grind, it's about the freshness....and do they ever in gods name wash their airpots??

All coffeeshops have the option of having good coffee, all restaurants have the option of having good coffee, some choose burnt weak brew, some choose to blame roasters after having coffee sit around for hours. Some choose to have the ashtray effect, and call it a day. Some our just plain coffee strength-aphobic....
check back for a list....

"Real Bread" to go with Real Coffee

Aren't we so fortunate that we can enjoy the finest pairings of artisan breads and pastries to go with our fine coffee. Here is my favorite pairings:

1. Try a Chocolate Chip Briochette from the Real Bread Folks-only at the Midtown Market -only on Saturday...(I think website to sign up for weekly order is www.realbreadnet)the fruit-laden breads are great with Guatemalan.
Or
Get to the May Day Cafe ( they are pouring great shots of espresso) and get a loaf of Sourdough Whole Wheat bread..only on Saturdays..These pecan raisin things Madge whips up are amazing with a Hot Cold Press.

Do you think you make the Best Cold Press in town??

A contest is happening....Do you think your coffeehouse makes the Best Cold Press??
I know some of these shops make a pretty killer cold press...

1. Audobon
2. Tillies Bean
3. Acadia Cafe
4. Corner Coffee
5. Clicquot Club
6. Lunablu Coffee Co.

I am interested in who makes the best!!! Any ideas...and addicts got an opinion??
