Work brought me to NY this week... and the folks over at Coffeegeek.com pointed me in the direction of http://www.portorico.com/coffee.html in Bleecker Street.
So, as soon as I had a minute in between meetings, I jumped over to Bleecker St. Wow! I have never seen so many beans in my life.
Not a good idea to take a lot back to Europe though, so I restrained myself. Bought a pack of Nicaragua-Mexican blend from their sustainable farming collection.
Hope the roast will survive the trip back to Europe - Germany and Holland first- before hitting the old machine back in Brussels... A bit sub-optimal, but hey, the experience of having some coffee from this New York coffee powerhouse also counts!
Below the pic I took this afternoon.
