Subject: ISO roasters in DC Metro area
|
Hi,
Can anyone recommend coffee roasters in the DC Metro area? I roast my
own small batches but I would like to have a fall back plan when the
weather is just too hot, the hours in a day just disappear, I am not in
the mood, I am out of raw materials, well you get the idea.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Misha's in Alexandria is excellent. The roaster is right out in the
open; you can watch the process while you drink the fine coffee.

It's a great place, but it closes by 8pm. So if you have dinner out in Old Town,
and then want dessert and espresso at Misha's, you're just out of luck. 8;(
Also, while picking nits, there's very little variety to the roasting at Misha's
-- full city or nothing, basically.

Sure:
The Costco store at Pentagon city roasts in front of your eyes and they also
sell green beans.
Mayorga Coffee Roasters in Silver Spring, MD and Rockville, MD
Quartermaine Coffee Roasters in Rockville, MD
And, while you didn't ask, Murky Coffee in DC and VA sells (and uses) beans
from Counter Culture Coffee in NC

Did they used to use Vivace's or am I mixing them up with someone else?

I do know they used someone else before but I forget who it was. I do know
that they now use CC beans and I am fairly certain that the bean of choice
is Toscano.

The OP was looking for a roaster, not dessert and espresso.

No shit. That's why I also mentioned a fact about their roasting.
Some people who buy beans there might prefer to pick them up in the evening,
coordinated with dinner, etc., particularly if they don't live four blocks away,
as I do. That's why I mentioned the limited hours.
Sorry if that offended your USEnet-cop complex, Karl.

Hmm. If I remember correctly, they used Vivace beans a few years ago,
followed by a local roaster in DC, followed by a year of using Malabar
Gold, and now have been using Counter Culture since February 2005...
and I think that they'll be working with Counter Culture for the
forseeable future.
But I could be wrong.

Flip-flopper. Some people stay the course, others .....

Thanks, Nick. That is a phenomenal journey, in particular the trip from
vivace/malabar gold to counter culture. How did that come about?
