Delicious Coffee?

Taking a brief break from Tea (and Oysters)

I just happened upon this video on NYTimes.com about coffee culture picking up in New York. Having taken a recent trip to New York, I think Seattle, Portland and San Francisco can rest assured that their reputations are not in jeopardy. (Bleck!)

But this gets back to a problem I have as a frequent business traveler to Silicon Valley - how do I get a delicious cup of coffee in my hotel room? I have found Red Rock Coffee in Mountain View, but it's too far from my hotel for a morning ritual. I'm looking for a good way to get clear, delicious hot water in my hotel room - I bring my own coffee, filters, one-cup brewing cone to avoid the terrible, burnt cup of disaster, frighteningly reminiscent of my youth in the Midwest, that they serve downstairs.

So this leads me to a question for you, coffee addicts -- what insane lengths have you gone to for a delicious cup of coffee? I've driven more than 45 minutes and spent $10. I have a problem. How about you?

  • I mail my parents really good coffee even though I know they won't drink it. Then when I visit them I have several pounds of good coffee to choose from, most of it unopened.

    I travel with a French Press, too. I really wish I was joking. It's just a little 8-oz one. I do have to grind my coffee ahead of time, though, which means it's a little dead-tasting by the time I brew it.

    Also, I stop by Stumptown before I go to work even though I get free drinks during my shifts.

    • Mailing coffee home for Christmas is a good idea...
