I want to go to there! Scratch that. I want this in my kitchen.A new coffee import called Blue Bottle will be opening near my apartment. The shear level of doucheness of this place is completely off the charts:
Every drink at the new outpost will be made with incredible precision, with the drip coffee poured by hand in a meticulous process that takes about three to four minutes a cup. The espresso machines are Italian, but the iced coffee slow-drip devices are Japanese. Brewed at 88 drops per minute, the entire process takes 10-12 hours and is made overnight.It’s bound to be a manic success, and who knows, maybe it’s worth the FOUR MINUTES TO POUR through that crazy bong. Probably not though.
Well, this is definitely Alice-Waters-style douchery, but from its Bay-Area incarnations Blue Bottle pours some of the finest bitter water I’ve ever consumed. You may end up eating your own words. It all depends on whether you think coffee is just coffee.
future anthropologists are going to find this shit and smash it instantlySounds awesome.
I guess that makes me a douche.
Oh well.
Queen douche here. I love Blue Bottle! It’s true that the cafes are full of hipsters, though.
