Don't want to get mixed up in the McDonalds versus Starbucks coffee debate? I don't blame you. Bay area caffeine addicts are hooked on Blue Bottle Coffee, which I discovered at the Berkeley Farmer' s Market a few weeks ago. Their organic beans are roasted in small batches and sold within 48 hours of coming out of the roaster, so you're guaranteed to get a truly fresh cup of java. You can order their Chez Panisse house blend or their popular Bella Donna coffee on their website.
Watching coffee drip is like watching performance art, and the smells will transport you to a warm and happy place!
