My Newest Coffee Addiction

By Alan Curtis

I'm a New Yorker and I love the coffee in this city. There are so many great options, many of which I can get within a few minutes with a simple walk outside. Unfortunately, there's not enough time in the day to try them all.

Very recently, I saw a new coffee maker in my neighborhood that I decided to try out. Little did I know that I would soon drink a cup of the best coffee I had ever tried.

While Stumptown Coffee Roasters was formerly a coffee maker with a presence limited to the Pacific Northwest, the a personal move by the founder to the East coast has led to a New York presence.

Many patrons of Stumptown praise the high quality of the entire menu, but I've stuck with the regular house brew so far and it's excellent. The cafe lattes and the cappuccinos are said by many to be even better than the regular coffee.

Interestingly enough, the prices aren't much higher than those that you'd find at a Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. This is a great thing when you consider the difference in the quality of the beans. One negative is the fact that they only accept cash, though I don't know if that's specific to the location I've been to.

Amazingly, Stumptown Coffee Roasters almost has a cult-like following. Those who've tried it swear by the brand and refuse to drink any other kind of coffee.

Seattle residents are going as far as saying that Stumptown has the best coffee in their city. When a coffee chain is winning the praise of drinkers in a huge coffee city like Seattle, I think the praise speaks for itself.

If you have a Stumptown near you, consider yourself lucky and try it out. If you don't, hope that the chain expands, and take advantage of any traveling opportunity you may get and try it out.
