On It's Time To Set Your Fish Sauce Free
@Mister_Neutron I buy the thai stuff in a jar. The glass and resealable lid seem to keep it from smelling like low tide.

@davidwatts augh sorry I didn't mean it to be snippy. I was confused as to what was meant by local and wanted to correct an error I saw. That's all, really.

@Bettytron Well that's good to know. Like I said before, I'm not entirely sure what he meant by "local" (if you mean, in the area, then that's true, if you live in BK), but I just wanted to clarify that blue bottle is not from New York.
And I'll step off my soapbox now.

@whizz_dumb it also has significantly more caffeine, and (I find) a smoother taste, so I drink more of it and then I'm shaking at my desk.

@whizz_dumb Totally. I lived in Tucson, AZ (incidentally the location of the other non-SFBA blue bottle cafe) for years and I'm constantly getting the brush-off.
Also, the only reason I brought it up is because if they're representing themselves as local to NY, then they're lying liars who lie. I think it was a brilliant move to put a kiosk in brookyln flea, though. Fussy coffee and the sort of people who shop there are a match made in profit heaven.
In full disclosure I should let you know than when my fiance and I moved in together, we counted 5 distinct methods of coffee making apparatuses, none of which were either a mister coffee-type or a conventional espresso machine.

@boyofdestiny I mean, I'm from San Francisco, where Blue Bottle is a beloved institution, (weirdo ice cream shop humphry slocombe has a blue bottle coffe flavor) and I understand the one in Brooklyn is one of two outside of the bay area, but if they're representing themselves as local to NYC than that is some serious mis-representation.
It's also damn annoying that most of the kiosks in Golden Gate park only sell blue bottle coffee now so that when you're shivering because your niece is oblivious to the cold and you stupidly volunteered to take her to the playground and all you want is a damn cup of coffee to warm you up and keep you perky and it's taking 8 goddamn minutes and yes I did time it.
That being said, I use a chemex on the weekends, which is basically the same system.

"Blue Bottle is a fine institution and a great local place to buy coffee".
I'm sorry, maybe I've misunderstood you, but Blue Bottle is not local to NY. It's based in Oakland, CA.
