Red Tricycle – 6 Home Delivery Services to Try
Sleepless nights require caffeine to make it through the days. Make sure your filter never runs dry with Metropolis Coffee Company. Through its subscription service, the local roaster delivers an assortment of freshly roasted coffee and tea (everything from their signature Redline Espresso to Kenyan Kambaa), brewed locally or sourced from sustainable-minded importers. The goods get to your door on a schedule of your choosing (weekly, bi-monthly, monthly, etc). That’s one big perk.
Countries Best Brew Shops – 3/5/12
So much for the home of Starbucks. A new Facebook survey has declared the best coffee shops across the country, revealing a surprising diversity of top-notch joe around the U.S. but snubbing shops in Seattle. Sponsored by coffee company Krups, the second-annual "Best Brew Awards" polled Facebook fans for their local favorites. While it's no surprise that well-caffeinated New York and Chicago make this list, it seems the West Coast coffee scene has migrated south: Both San Francisco and Los Angeles get nods from Krups' fans.
