So where do you find a good cup of $12 coffee? I found it in Avila Beach last Saturday at the new Joe Mamma's coffee place (310 Front St.).
To celebrate their grand opening they were serving world’s best and most expensive coffee, Hacienda la Esmeralda (as recognized by the Specialty Roasters Association), which is about $200 a pound for the beans.
Their coffees are ground and brewed one cup at a time via a machine that is shaking up the whole retail coffee industry; is called The Clover.
Last year the Clover 1s won the Specialty Coffee Association of America's Best New Product: Coffee & Tea Preparation Equipment (Commercial) prize. Joe Mamma's Clover is the only one between LA and San Francisco.
Joe Momma's is great looking place and there's lots of coffee choices well under $12!
Also on hand for Saturday's coffee buzz was Heather Perry of Klatch Coffee Roasters. She had just recently returned from Tokyo where she won second place in the World Barista Competition. In 2003 she was named "World's Top Barista."
Heather knows more about coffee and the retail coffee business than anyone I've ever talked to. No small wonder that she's the only U.S. citizen to win the Barista competition twice.
"Heather Perry from Coffee Klatch was, as usual, a total polished pro. Here she serves her pumpkin specialty drink."
