Coffee surprises Heart: Portland Cheers to good coffee š
ā Heart Coffee: Portlandās Rainy Day GemāEthiopian Yirgacheffe That Shines, Even Without Pour-Over When rain soaks the Pacific Northwest, a great coffee shop becomes a sanctuaryāand Heart Coffee (Burside location) is exactly that. Ranked on Roastfulās 2024 list, this spot draws crowds for good reason: even without pour-over (a surprise, given the focus on single origins), their drip coffee is a standout. Itās proof that exceptional beans can speak for themselves. š The Star: Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Drip Skip the pour-over FOMOāthis drip is addictive. Made with washed Ethiopian beans, itās bright, bold, and bursting with flavor: think tangy-sweet berry notes (plump, juicy - like acidity) with a delicate rose aroma lingering in the finish. No bitter aftertaste, just clean, vibrant layers that make you keep sipping. Itās so good, we bought a bag to brew at home (and canāt wait to try it as a pour-over). šø Vibe & Details Burside Location: Cozy, with a photo-worthy logo wall (perfect for rainy-day Instagram posts). Small but welcoming, with a laid-back vibe that fits Portlandās coffee culture. Focus on Beans: Even without fancy brewing methods, the quality of their roasts shines. Itās a reminder that great coffee starts with great beans. For anyone coffee-hopping in Portland or Seattle, Heart is a must. It turns a drizzly afternoon into a flavor adventureāand that Yirgacheffe? Worth every drop. š Heart Coffee (Burside) Portland, OR (check their site for exact addressāworth seeking out) #PortlandCoffee #EthiopianBeans #RainyDayBrews
