Coffee Trend



My husband and I look for just about any excuse to visit San Francisco. It's as Manhattan as the left coast gets, even if the demographic has trended towards a younger populace. We like to stay near the Ferry Building, which has evolved as a hub of all things cuisine, including one of the very best Farmers Markets.

On a recent trip, we spied Blue Bottle Coffee and sampled a cup. Mmmm, mmm, good. The concept, which is spreading like wildfire, is brewing one cup, on the spot from freshly ground, small batch, specialty roasted beans. Call it artisanal micro-roasters.

It's thicker and richer then the typical filter drip coffee. Watch for this trend to take root and grow.
