Yes, Blue Bottle coffee at home is the way to go. No lines. Supreme coffee when you want it. I want a porcelain drip too. Sigh! But I’m into mocha at the moment.

Instead of waiting in the long lines….this is what I do!

Blue Bottle sells their very own porcelain drip with their logo for the same price of $16. Porcelain retains heat better than a $2 plastic drip. I buy their varieties of coffee beans from their kiosks or from their roasting facililty in Oakland (since I live in the east bay) for $7-$8 for a 1/2 pound bag. I had to invest in a really good conical burr grinder since they don’t grind the beans for you. I don’t advise using $20 spinning blade grinder. The really “covert” way is to sneak into your local grocery store and use their grinder.

Voila! Blue Bottle drip coffee in your home for a fraction of the cost! Denpending on how strong you like your coffee, one 1/2 pound bag of coffee can last me a week before the beans bad.
