The Minneapolis has a high-end coffee culture with numerous specialty shops and roasters. Cindy and I enjoy exploring these locations as a way to find something to do when we get tired of watching MSNBC. We should start keeping a “life list” like the birders do. I discovered the “flat white” in Australia and the Turkish method in Russia. I now have a fancy maker that automatically produces flat whites and a not fancy “pot” for preparing Turkish coffee given to me by our Russian friends. In both cases, the original experiences were superior to what I can do myself.
We take one of the lists that are available and find a location we have not tried. So, there is the best in Minneapolis type list, but others as well. For example, there is a best coffee shop for studying list and a best coffee shop with free wifi list. I have not tried to find a coffee shop without wifi, but I am guessing they are very rare. Perhaps not having wifi has become a feature.
Spyhouse coffee appears on most of the lists. There are actually a number of Spyhouses, but all seem to be positively rated. I can’t remember is it coffee or wine that you look for “legs”. Wouldn’t you need a clear cup/glass?
No idea why Cindy looks so solemn here. She seems to be waiting patiently for something. We don’t perform any tasting rituals before we try the coffee. Maybe it is the delay while I get the picture I want.
