Well, maybe just New York City -- but if you ask any of its residents, that is the world. Portland's Stumptown Coffee Roasters founder, Duane Sorenson, is expanding their artisan roasting business from it's Pacific Northwest roots directly into the heart of the city that never sleeps. As coffee lovers, we know that the complexity and diversity of flavor in coffee rivals the oft-lauded wine, but it's an appreciation that hasn't transcended coast to coast. Sorenson wants to change that by introducing the Big Apple to freshly roasted coffees and changing their perception of what coffee can be. They're one of our favorite roasters in Seattle and so if you're in the NYC area and interested in expanding your coffee palate, definitely check them out.
