Just went to the Blue Bottle Roasting facility in Oakland and bought a fresh bag of coffee beans, that was roasted the day before. I am in love with the fact that every time I buy Blue Bottle Coffee beans they are roasted either that day or the day before. Pretty amazing!
Being spoiled like that, you won’t go back to store bought beans from the supermarket bins. I had a bad experience with Allegro beans from the bin at Whole Foods. Two words – disappointingly stale!
The barista recommended their Three African beans when I mentioned I would be using a French press. However, we also have hand drip filters at work. So I went online to learn how to properly hand drip your coffee.
I tried unsuccessfully this morning. The stirring technique in this video will probably make a difference. Enjoy!
