Filter Coffee
Recently i've heard rave reviews about Monmouth Coffee in london and some other places in the USA in regards to Filter Coffee....
Everything from filter coffee stands to waiting in line for ages to get into these shops has me wondering - What is the main attraction??
I'm going to go to London next month and go to Monmouth Coffee and see how they do it... A trip to the states may be out of the question until next year :)
Also anyone in the US, how is the Tru-Bru stand working out??

The Monmouth way is I guess unique, which is what made them what they are today. In many ways it kind of reminds me of some of the ways coffee is done, fresh, in asia. I guess the key for Monmouth is every cup made, is fresh- not through a animo, Bunn, Fetco or Bravilor type filter system. This is probably thr main reason they have such a cult following I would say.

I would reccomend a Baratza grinder (http://www.baratza.com/) instead of pre grinding. These are solid home grinders that can easily make the transition to a light commercial use decaf espresso grinder. You can get them from $150-450, but they i thi…
what i've found is that the problem isn't traditional drip brewing - it's the airpots. anything sitting for more than half an hour gets funky tasting. if i brew a 2.2 litre airpot of our colombian at 60g/l and taste it immediately, it's really nice.…
Almost forgot Organic Products Trading (optco) Smaller offerings but good people and they get some good coffees in.

I've got just enough regular decaf drinkers that I can't really eliminate it (as much as I'd love to, but these are the kind of customers that have been coming in for 16 years, so...). Yeah, I'm looking at the schematics now, and I'm thinking I can…
Atlas in Seattle. Craig is a q grade trainer and one of the more knowledgeable coffee guys I've met. Also Zephyr, (I deal with the Seattle office.) I haven't tried shrub but I like the concept.
keith pettigrew, an australian barista judge who trained me a bit in australia, told me to use espresso within 3 minutes of it being ground. that rule has never failed me. i dropped $1500 on an extra k-10 for decaf and it was worth every penny. to b…
excellent suggestions so far, i emailed the links to the roaster and we'll see what he thinks. this is the stuff i really dig - i'm never going to be able to taste every coffee but having specific information about the coffees i do taste helps so mu…
I have worked in a shop that did this, and even if you grind the decaf and take it straight to the machine, you still can't dial it in to pull decent shots. It would be better to have a cheaper lower volume grinder to dedicate to decaf if you are wo…
