What to look for in a San Diego coffee shop
People are often looking for a San Diego coffee shop to try. They may have gotten bored with the corporate-style stores that are fairly generic or a local one that has fallen down in the quality arena. Some are merely looking for a new experience and to try different blends and methods of coffee making. The need for a new place may also be due to moving to a new home or a new job, thus changing the area that someone is in and around.
What’s the reputation?
Many people like to look for consumer reviews on the net before trying a new place. This can tell them more about not only the taste of the coffee but also location, pricing, ambience and other features. Some users will be looking for place that also serves other food products like pastries or bagels, while others are just looking for coffee. Looking for positive consumer comments and ratings can be a good way to get a feel for any coffee house.
Another way to find places to try is to look for reviews in the many publications, either in print or on the net. Many publications review coffee houses just as they would other kinds of restaurants.
How is the coffee made?
Some places use machines to make coffee and this often gives a somewhat bland and generic effect. People may want to look for alternatives such as stores that mention using the pour over method. This method takes a little longer to produce in some cases as it might be made in smaller batches instead of gallons like the machines. This provides a better tasting coffee by many accounts.
Part of the secret to the pour over coffee is that the method generally uses freshly ground beans. This captures the flavor at its peak. The right amount of filtration for the water and the right equipment and filters do the rest of the job.
What is different?
Some coffee shop owners are focused on the individual experience. The results can sometimes vary just as they would with wine making or any other handcrafted beverage. For most people, this will be another compelling reason to try this kind of coffee. For those looking for a predictable, and somewhat boring, experience this may not suit.
People may want to try different coffee houses to get an idea of what is available. Each store may have different coffee beans and slightly different methods for making coffee.
You may want to ask your
local roaster about other different types of coffees to offer you clients a new experience.
