Coffee Foundry.
I spend at least two mornings a week at Coffee Foundry in the West Village. They specialize in single-cup pourover coffee that they roast themselves and brew using Clever Drippers; as such, each cup is made with beans that are ground to order to ensure maximum freshness and taste. Above is a cup of organic Ethiopian Sidamo, which is remarkably bright and balanced. I am also partial to their Bolivian iced coffee which can be paired up with condensed milk to create a high-end Vietnamese style iced coffee. If you’re more of a beer guy, they also serve a variety of Belgian and microbrew beers in the afternoon.

Being in Miami where Cuban coffee is king, I always get geeked out when I see how NYC, LA and Seattle have all these fresh coffee spots. Just the process alone makes the coffee look amazing!

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good café con leche… but having a cup of coffee from a new-school roaster yields a really rich, complex tasting experience that’s also very enjoyable. The west coast has had the upper hand for a long time, but I’m excited to see a growing interest in coffee over here.
