coffee - Barista at Home Enthusiast - Coffee Forum

In my part of the world (Vancouver), the local rockstar roasters are

49th Parallel.  Their Epic Espresso was designed for lattes (a Pac NW

thing?), but takes some getting used to as a straight espresso.  49th

roasts for local cafes, as well as running their own shop.  The Espresso

Reserve served at Cafe Artigiano is theirs, though runs slightly darker

than I'd prefer.  Hearty in milk, but a touch too bold as a straight

drink.  49th's other cafe project is a blend done post-roast by Alistair

at the Elysian Room.  This is my current fave, though if I can source a

bag of Black Cat under 5 days old, I'll get it every time.
