Re:Finding your coffee in North America - 2007/01/07 20:23Best Coffee I found and live buy is Passalacqua a company in CT called Caffe Italia Enterprises sells it. Only ones in fact. This coffee has a dark chocolate after taste and is imported straight from Italy. Definitely 2 thumbs up. Try it once you won't go back to anything else.

I find coffee imported from anywhere -- generally stale. Some people like stale coffee - like a neighbor of mine who gets coffee from all over the World. It is always bad-ass stale and I think he sees the "staleness" as a flavor attribute.
Each to their own I guess.

Best beans, best coffee, best baristas
Say hello to Alistair - He da man.
I agree that Elysian room is an excellent shop, but it does not meet the criteria of "roasted on site". Alistair gets his beans from 49th Parallel.www.currentcoffee.ca

Re:Finding your coffee in North America - 2007/12/22 10:50Yep, 49th Parallel. They are behind Burnaby Costco. You can phone them to put in for a pick up order. They roast on Mondays. You can pick up freshly roasted beans any time after they roast on Mondays.
There is also Ethical Beans on Kootenay St (Behind Boundary Rd around 1st Ave in the Vancouver side).
Both places only sell 1 lb bags. If you are looking to buy smaller quantities, head down to Commercial St. JJ Beans has several espresso blends. Prado also sells beans.Tmplo is a Vancouver area resident and coffee expert
