  • I usually drink coffee at Salvador's, but for the home brew I go for Chicago Coffee. They seem to roast their own stuff every week.

  • a lot of coffee from southeast asia (including much of yunnan and most vietnamese coffee) is robusta, which is widely considered to be of lower quality than arabica coffee. fortunately for robusta, it has a higher caffeine content and is used to produce most of the retail coffee (not the cafe-quality stuff) in the united states.

    Salvador's uses a roasted arabica bean from yunnan, which i personally really enjoy. I assume most of the cafes around here are using arabica, but I'm not positive. I wouldn't be surprised if yunjoy uses robusta (but i don't know). For a rich coffee at home, try cold brewing some of the beans from salvador's or chicago coffee. I'll be writing an article about coffee in yunnan for my blog www.kunminginmymouth.com sometime in the next few weeks that will discuss much of this, as well as including instructions for cold brewing. (in the meantime, google nytimes cold brew recipe if you're interested.)
