Today, I noticed two very interesting coffee articles in The New York Times. Brew a cup of coffee, take a look and share your thoughts in the comments!The first article was a Q&A with Ken Nye of Ninth Street Espresso in "The Diner's Journal." He answers questions about third wave coffee and more in his third Q&A with the paper. (The first was a readers' Q&A on coffee and the second was on the economics of coffee bars.)
The second article I noticed today was in the "Urban Eye" section. Entitled Java Huts, it's about New York City's emerging third wave/ultra-premium coffee scene.
Read back-to-back, these articles almost made me wish I were still living in "The City That Never Sleeps," especially now that there are enough sources of quality caffeine for even the snobbiest of coffee drinkers to pull all-nighters with ease. Then again, as someone based in Portland, OR, I have plenty of fantastic coffee roasters and baristas (not to mention a much lower cost of living) right where I am. New Yorkers, how do you feel about your city's coffee scene? How do coffee fanatics in more established coffee cities (like San Francisco, Portland or Chicago) feel about New York's push toward better coffee?
