Wait, if you have a french press then do you need the salt?
Personal preference, try both.

That's a good point. I've never ordered one but have been told they squirt something into the Joe when you order a regular, double double or yes, a triple triple.
It would only make sense that they would add a few more squirts to their new wine bottle size cup of Joe.
Tim Hortons does increase cream/sugar amounts depending on the size of the cup so that a Small double-double tastes the same as an XL double-double.
I can recommend Salt Spring Coffee beans. Grind them up every morning but I'm still using a coffee maker. I prefer the Sumatra beans.
another vote for fresh beans you grind at point of use and a french press.
any you're probably not using enough Baileys.
I'm surprised there's no votes for Oso Negro.
Bean Around the World / Cowboy Coffee is my first choice. Black Mountain.
Owned and run by mountain bikers and long time supporter of events and trail work on the Shore.
Win win you get good coffee and support a company that supports riding.
Anyone found a good source of non-oily espresso beans?
Starbucks and any of the wannabe-SB roasters over roast their beans.
All that oil plugs up the Euro espresso machines as they weren't designed to use the over roasted beans.
I used to buy from the Saeco store on Boundry but since Phillips closed it down…

JJ Bean's "Espresso JJ" is not over-roasted, not oily.

werd, another vote for the Bean, good guys

I love Oso coffee as do anyone I've introduced to it. My fav is speckled sky - has a nice chocolatey flavor.
Espresso shots are the best - better than drip etc coffee IMO.
Anyone that roasts their own beans usually makes the best coffee.

Mmmm - I get $10 gift cards regularly for Christmas so when I go to Nelson in the summer I am ready to rock. Latte or americano and their killer breakfast sandwich FTW!!!

Artegiano, yummm. My only beef is that they are gone too fast.
Made me consider buying a La Marzocco GS3 and a Mahlkonig K30 ES espresso grinder. Then the rational part of my brain resumed control.

What, the part of the brain that reaches for the credit card? Say $1500 in gear and $1/coffee instead of $3 from shop, annual cost of $1500 is $150 assuming 10% interest, so 75 coffees a year to pay off.
I think I just talked myself into a new espresso setup! (Won't mention to my lovely wife that I haven't been buying my daily coffee for a while).
Cheers, Ben

Alas, for the setup above, the price you mention would cover the taxes. From my research on the art of coffee, the grinder is where you should put your money first, then the espresso machine.
We've had an automatic Saeco machine that we paid roughly $1,600 for years ago and have run over 10,000 shots through it. It's a far cry from what a good barista can pump out, but it's still pretty good. I'd love to have the two machines I mentioned above, but I imagine my espresso intake would triple.
Fuck my mind, that sounds like a shitty cup of coffee. I'd rather lick the pavement outside the Gibsons Timmy Hoes.
LOL… what I drained out of my fork today had the consistency of a Timmy Hoe's coffee.
