So during a recent conversation with an acquaintance, the topic of over-caffeination came up—something that I had never heard of, nor could understand. "I have at least five to six cups a day," I explained. "Does that count as being overly caffeinated?"
"Jesus!" She replied. "Do you just hang out at Stumptown all day?"
To which I replied, "Stumptown? Pish posh, madam, there are so many other fine coffee roasters to try in our fair city. There's..." And I began listing some of them off. Which for some reason made her go all cross-eyed and she soon left the table. So much for our first date.
Anyway, despite my acquaintance-now-turned-enemy's rudeness (she left a half-drunk quad americano on the table, for pete's sake) she did get me thinking: Wowzers! There sure are a lot of amazing micro-coffee-roasters in Portland. And while I know some, I want to know about more.
So how about it, Blogtownies? Shall we start a conversation about the best-of-the-best roasters in Portland? See my picks after the jump, and leave your own picks in the comments below.
