My SIL in the Portland area loves Stumptown coffee.COFFEE TIP
for anyone who doesnt have a espresso machine at home, heres a drink you can order that is delicious that you may not have ever tried before...and frankly, probably the only drink at Starbucks that I rate as being decent:
Doppio con panna, upside down. Order it. DO IT.
Oh, you want to know what it is first? Fine fine.
Ok its a couple shots of espresso poured on top of whipped cream. the whipped cream gets all melty and delicious. ITs an Italian drink.
And I dont think much of Starbucks (admittedly, a gingerbread latte from them sounds tasty about now though)...but if you are headed there, or go with some friends, just get that. They rarely ever f it up, and since most of their coffee tastes like ass to me, and this one doesnt, it will be worth your $. PLUS...its wayyyyy cheaper than their other grande iced oatmil;k apple crisp vanilla bullshit drink that costs like $7 now...for a fucking cup of coffee with a squirt of flavored sugar. F THAT.
You want flavored sugar? Ill put a cube of brown sugar in my mouth and spit it into your coffee... Trust me, itll taste better.
Get the doppio con panna, upside down (the upside down means the whipped cream on the bottom, not floating on the top...dont do that) and thank me later.
edit: lots of great coffee roasters around and since I have family up in Portland, OR, I get to taste and buy lots. Heartily reco Stumptown (Hair Bender is delish!) and I love me some Water Avenue coffee (Bull Run! YES!)..and if yuer int he socal area, Klatch makes a tasty brew! Philz from the SF area always does a good job too!
