Iced, single-origin Americano (#Ethiopia, #Sidamo, Guji) at Henry Jane in #Taichung #Taiwan. But, the boss makes it better than his worker does. This one is not as fruity (peach? lychee?) as what it could be.

@SlowRain If there’s somewhere you can *consistently* get a good espresso shot in NYC, I’d like to know.
(I will admit there’s Casa del Caffe in the Bronx, where most days the Espresso Goddess pulls shots, but on Sundays her husband takes over.)
@babelcarp Look for places serving Counter Culture's, Intelligentsia's, or Stumptown's #coffee. Maybe also try Joe Coffee.
New York is pretty big. If you need a more specific area, let me know, and maybe I can find something more precise.
@babelcarp Are you sure the sour ones aren't what they're going for, & the sweet, balanced ones are what they view as errors? This is &#thirdwavecoffee, after all. 🤣
OK, give me a specific area or a couple of neighborhoods, & I'll see what I can come up with.
@SlowRain @babelcarp I can’t tell what’s going on inside their heads, but as I said, their work is inconsistent: sometimes good, sometimes sour.
I live in downtown Brooklyn.
@babelcarp Some of these may be old, so I don't know if they're still open:
Cafe Grumpy
El Beit
Toby's Estate
Sweetleaf
Wythe Hotel
Variety
Gimme Coffee
Marlow and Sons
Ninth Street Espresso
Parlor
Qathra Cafe
Oslo
