Brooklyn's Blue Bottle

Posted on February 23, 2010 by Mike

I found myself once again following up on a NY Times post by Oliver Strand, this time visiting Blue Bottle‘s newest location in Brooklyn (and first on the East Coast).  The space is large, nearly 4,000 square feet, and most of it is dedicated to roasting production.  The service area has a paddle group La Marzocco FB80, San Marco lever for SOE, and a pour-over station with Beehouse Drippers. Opposite from the bar is their Japanese Dripper setup.

They have a Probat L12 installed in the back, but plan on upgrading with something bigger as soon as possible.

They’re not actually open yet, but we happened to run into Daniel Delaney there. Daniel is the executive producer and host for VendrTV, which featured Blue Bottle in an episode last July.

One thing they don’t have is a $20,000 syphon bar, though I’m not sure why.

    Their SF shops are a little too precious for my liking. But I'll give 'em a shot.

    Any word on the food, for all the equipment and quality coffee it's the breakfast that sets them apart when in SF...
  • They won't be doing the same breakfast here in NYC, though several people have asked the same question. They're starting slowly, and may expand the food menu in the future.
