Coffee
We had brunch today with some friends at Chance's Pancake Corral in Bellevue. The food was alright, but the coffee was pretty disappointing. I was particularly disappointed by this, as I've been out of coffee at home for a while, and was looking forward to a good cup this morning.
The last coffee I bought at home was a bag of Kirkland "New Guinea" blend, which wasn't amazing, but at around $4 a pound was hard to argue with. It was robust, tasty, without being acrid.
This afternoon, Dawnise happened to be down the street from Vivace, in Seattle, and got me a half pound each of their three varietals. At more than double the price of the aforementioned Kirkland roast, it's not something I buy every time, but having just finished an iced Americano, damn it's good stuff...

Have you tried this exciting new brand yet?

I had their iced latte while we were there, then had another yesterday at Starbucks. I only held back the tears of disappointment because I didn't want to scare my candidate. Vivace, come back to me!
