| - First, let me say that I love this place. That being said, I offer a warning: this place will suck you into becoming a coffee snob ("aficionado" is the nicer word ).
I started coming here in 2012. At the time, all I wanted was a drip coffee, served black, and their drip was delightfully flavorful (not bitter and stale!) After a few visits, one of the baristas noticed that I was always drinking my coffee black, and suggested I try the Chemex coffee. I fell in love with the smooth, rich flavors, and kept coming back to try different varieties. Before long I had purchased a Chemex of my own, driven down to their roastery in Tempe for their weekly coffee tasting and met their talented roaster. I soaked up their wisdom like a sponge. I sampled coffees from across the globe. I learned to make Aeropress and Turkish coffees, bought a Moka Pot in Italy, and have attended Latte Art competitions they've done with Cartel.
I love this place, but beware: you will never see coffee the same again.
