Sey Coffee

Sey Coffee, Coffeee Shops a coffee shop and roaster is located along Grattan Street, in Morgantown. The neighborhood, which is part of Brooklyn's Bushwick district is located on Grattan Street. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 started roasting in the fourth-floor loft around the corner 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 commitment to buying micro-lots, and even whole harvests from single farmers has earned it the praise of New York City coffee enthusiasts. Last year they made a six-bag micro-lot purchase of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai 785 from Brazil's Espirito Santo region. The beans were harvested at their peak ripeness and then floated to eliminate any imperfections. They were then dried on the farm following a 36-hour dry fermentation. The result is a coffee with hints of berry, lemongrass, and melon.

Sey's mission extends beyond the shop to improve the overall well-being of employees and growers and customers. It uses composts and biodegradable disposables in order to ensure that waste is kept out of the garbage dumps. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and also nourish the soil. It also does away with gratuity, which puts baristas in a position to sustain their livelihoods as well as encourage them to concentrate on their craft.

La Cabra

La Cabra, a modern specialty coffee company, was founded in Aarhus in Denmark in 2012. The company began with a small shop and a dedicated team. Their honest and innovative method of providing an exceptional coffee experience has earned them a loyal following not just in their hometown and across the globe.

La Carba follows a strict method to select their best beans. They go through hundreds of lots each year in order to find those that best meet their standards. They roast them lightly, dialing in their desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees an enhanced taste and coffee bean shop clarity.

The East Village store opened last October with a sleek minimalist style, and has been praised by coffee enthusiasts for its scrumptious pour-overs and baked goods, which are overseen by head baker Jared Sexton, who's previously worked at Bien Cuit and Dominique Ansel.

The shop employs a La Marzocco Modbar and the cups, plates and bowls are designed by Wurtz ceramics, a father and son studio in Horsens. In a recent interview with Atlanta Coffee Shops General Manager Ian Walla revealed that La Cabra serves 250 different types of coffee per day, and has usually seven or eight different varieties available at any time.

The Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant is the only multi-unit retailer of coffee which roasts on-site and brews to order, with every cup of coffee being roasted and brewed to your specifications in less than minutes. It is a search engine for the highest quality specialty beans that are directly sourced providing customers with choice and quality.

The roaster they have on site is an automatic fluid bed machine which is different from the traditional drum machines found in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown around in a heated box by high-velocity air, which keeps the beans in a suspended state and allows roasting to happen at a consistent rate when they pass through the machine.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was rich with an enveloping mouthfeel, dark chocolate aroma was present. The coffee began to cool down as you sipped and subtle aromas of citrus fruit were detected.

The roasted coffee will then be taken to the store's Eversys Super-Automatic Brewing Machines to be brewed according your specifications within less than a minute. Customers can pick from nine single origins as well as different blends.

Parlor Coffee

In 2012, coffee bean shop the company was established in the back of a barbershop equipped with an espresso machine with a single group, Parlor Coffee has become a rapidly growing roastery whose beans are sold at top cafes, restaurants and home brewers all over the city. Parlor Coffee is committed to sourcing the highest quality beans that have all undergone a long journey before reaching its roasters.

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

They roast their own blends (there were six when I was there) and single-origins, however they also hold cuppings on Sundays, which are open to the public. Think of it like an artisanal tasting room in which you can smell and taste the beans, from chocolaty to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). It's a bit off the beaten track, but worth the journey.
