Kuma Coffee — Restaurant in Seattle

I purchased a couple bags last year after reading some rave reviews on Reddit (there’s a massive Seattle-area coffee roaster list you should look up sometime). I tried their bright and classic blends with my lever espresso machine. Wow. First off, as a designer, I was tickled by the excellent packaging and branding (I know, I’m a nerd). I got a smidge nervous as I tend to find companies may invest a lot in the LOOK of a product only for the product itself to be either overpriced or mediocre (for example: beats by Dre, anything Apple). Fear not. The coffee is even better. Quite frankly, this is the best I’ve ever had. And folks who are local to Seattle have a lot of high-quality roasters to spoil them (Anchorhead and Victrola are great spots too). So… for the past six months I’ve been drinking nothing but the bright blend. It’s great black in an americano albeit a bit acidic, and AMAZING in vanilla lattes, iced caramel macchiatos, or milkshakes (blend a double shot with vanilla ice cream and [optionally] chocolate chips and thank me later).

We LOVE Kuma coffee!! We are good friends with the owners, and they are incredibly lovely people. Their Seattle-based organization and team are superb, and as if that wasn't enough, the coffee is incredible! They work hard in sourcing their coffee, as well as roasting, and it pays off. If you like to actually taste your coffee, and it's not just a vehicle for caffeine that you're going to drown in cream and sugar, then you will appreciate Kuma. (I'm sure it tastes good with cream and sugar too, but I haven't tried it) You can subscribe and have coffee sent to your house! Especially when house-bound, it's awesome! Yes, it's a little pricier than Starbucks, but once you try it, you'll...
