I am all ears about a good bean. We have some great roasters in Portland: Stumptown, Coava, and Heart come to mind but there are many more. Advice?
Thanks! Larry

Maybe you shouldn’t change a thing if you’re happy...
Im sure there are some amazing beans in Portland...
We use vicace dolce here in seattle, very consistent, sweet n chocolate n cream is pornography. Victrola here sometimes makes really good beans, but not consistent, 1 week in 5, too expensive to play those odds. Fly too close to the sun.
There’s a roaster in Santa Cruz, friends bring me beans from there, always fantastic... verve? So good. Find something you like, know the roaster?
