Coffee Chronicles: Coffee’s History In America, A Short Primer | Serious Eats : New York
November 24, 2009 · 1 Comment
“Before Stumptown, Gorilla, Grumpy, and even Dallis, there was a coffee roaster who set up shop in Manhattan, and 160 years later, still proclaims the good news about specialty coffee. Gillie’s Coffee,who moved to Brooklyn from Greenwich Village in 1991, survived through the tumultuous economic times in the coffee world, the “coffee crash” of 1881, when unsuccessful attempts were made to corner the market on coffee. They’re still surviving even as the third wave of young bucks spread the coffee gospel.”

Joe Switches to Ecco Caffe
October 20, 2009 · 17 Comments
In perhaps the biggest news to hit NYC coffee since Ninth St switched to Intelly, Eater has reported that Joe the Art of Coffee will switch to exclusive use of Ecco Caffe starting tomorrow. Sprudge had the scoop about a month ago, but the time has come to finally make the switch.
As purveyors of some of the best beans in the world, Andrew Barnett’s Ecco Caffe partnering with 5 high volume locations throughout Manhattan could have significant impact on the state of NYC coffee.
