Five Brooklyn Coffee Bean Shops

If you're an avid coffee drinker, you should go to a coffee shop. These shops sell a range of whole beans from around the world. They also sell unique kitchenware and trinkets.

Some of these shops offer subscriptions to their coffee beans. Others sell large quantities of coffee beans at their retail locations.

Porto Rico Importing Co.

Veteran coffee vendor who is a specialist in international brews, loose teas, and a variety.

As you enter this old-fashioned West Village shop, the smell of fresh roasted beans fills your nose. The shelves are packed with jars and sacks filled with dark brown beans, with coffee-making equipment, tea accessories and sugar.

Porto Rico, originally opened in 1907 by Italian immigrants Patsy Albonese. At the time, Greenwich Village was seeing an increase in Italian immigrants who established businesses to meet their culinary needs. Albanese named the shop after the popular Puerto Rican Coffee she imported and sold - a drink that was so renowned in the moment that the Pope would drink it.

Porto Rico offers 130 different kinds of beans, including beans from all over the world in three locations, including Bleecker Street, Essex Market, and online. The company also roasts their own beans and provides wholesale distribution to 350 restaurants in NYC, Brooklyn and Brooklyn.

Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, a coffee roaster and shop is located on Grattan Street, in Morgantown. This neighborhood, located in Brooklyn's Bushwick district, is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33, started roasting in a fourth-floor loft across the street from their new store in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's focus on purchasing micro-lots, or even whole harvests from a single farmer has earned it the praise of the most discerning New York City coffee aficionados. Last year they made a 6-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were picked when they were ripe and then steamed to eliminate any defects. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a blend that is a little berry and melon.

Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall wellbeing of staff and growers, as well as customers. It utilizes composts and biodegradable disposables to ensure that waste is kept out of the landfills. This helps reduce greenhouse gases as well as nourish the soil. It also eliminates gratuity, a move that puts baristas in a position to support their livelihoods as well as encourage them to concentrate on their profession.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. It began with a tiny shop and a committed team. Their innovative and honest method of providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a loyal fan base not just in their home town and across the globe.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit coffee retailer that roasts on site and brews to order with each cup of coffee roasted and brewed according to your requirements in less than minutes. It searches the world far to find the finest, directly sourced specialty beans that offer customers a variety and quality.

The on-site roaster employs fluid bed technology that is a bit different to the drum-type machines commonly found in the majority of UK coffee shops. The beans are blown inside a heated box with high-velocity, circulating air. This keeps the beans suspended and allows for a constant roasting rate.

I tried the Sumatran Coffee and it was rich and velvety with a rich and velvety taste. Dark chocolate was evident in the aroma and as you sip the coffee, you could taste subtle citrus fruit flavours.

The coffee is then be transferred to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines, and brewed to your preferences in less than a minute. Customers can select from nine single origins and various blends.

Parlor Coffee

Parlor Coffee was founded in 2012 in a barbershop equipped with a single group espresso machine. It has since evolved into a burgeoning coffee roastery, whose beans are available in top cafes and restaurants as well as home brewers all over the city. Parlor is dedicated to sourcing the highest-quality beans all over the world Each one is a long, arduous journey before reaching the hands of its roasters.

The owners, who are self-described as "passionate about their craft and believe that good coffee should be available to everyone," have created a place that is a bit more grounded and has chalkboards, compost bins and up-cycled products, and low-frills decor.

They roast and create their own blends and single-origins (there were six on the menu when I was there) Also, they have cuppings on Sundays that are open to the public. Imagine it as an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty earthy (one was almost tomato-like!). They're a bit off the beaten track and well worth a trip.
