Loved that Peets. I used to work around the corner from there on
Shattuck and Rose. That Walnut Square Peets (the first store!) was my morning stop.
Small world. Do you still visit? I'll go to that peet's every so-often and it looks the same as it did years ago. I used to stop at berkeley just for cheeseboard pizza and philz coffee. Philz is now franchised out and in sacramento where I live.
If passing through I'll stop in berkeley for cheeseboard though. That's pizza's hella dope.
These days we go to nothing but local roasters for our beans. One such place is called 'Naked Coffee' and if you go to their roasting plant
you can buy coffee by the pound at wholesale. The car smells so good
when I come home.
I never bought a lot of locally roasted coffee to make at home, but we have a lot of coffee shops nearby that roast their own. I can count at least ten between me and Santa Cruz, about 15 miles away.
Percolated coffee, if you like it strong and hot, is pretty good. My
wife puts cream in her coffee, so it needs to start off piping hot.
I use the stovetop type where you add water to the bottom, the grounds in the trap, then the steam works its way up to the top where you pour it out. Found it at Marshall's for, like, $5.
