It’s the kind of diversity that makes the NYC Coffee Festival something to buzz about. Like Joe, Nobletree is a NYC original, Brooklyn to be specific, and equally obsessed with quality, though it built its business in almost the opposite fashion. Now operating a dozen shops in the city, offering extensive education, and roasting its own beans, Joe is increasingly sourcing higher quality beans and its “Top Shelf” coffee line represents the pinnacle in quality.Īlso of note is that Nobletree, the vertically integrated coffee company which owns its own farm in Brazil, is finally opening its first coffee shop in October, in the World Trade Center food market.
Their idea of a selfie was a carefully perched camera with a timer. A little over a decade ago, its neighborhood spots drew the pre-smartphone, pre-Wi-Fi era coffee drinkers who were actually social. New York City’s homegrown and family-owned Joe was once one of the few specialty coffee shops in the city.

Any novice operator who can follow along on a tablet after just a few minutes of training can produce a customized cup for customers with repeatable precision until their fingers tire of swiping. Introduced three years ago, the main advancement for this year’s show was a sturdy cart and countertop giving viewers an even closer look. In fact, it may be the only machine in the world with that capability. However, it’s used even more for tea than coffee, as its tablet-controlled pump chambers can be programmed to deliver just the right temperature and steeping time as required for the dozen or so tea types with varying brewing specifications. As expensive as a commercial espresso-maker, and also dedicated to a single cup, albeit filtered, the Steampunk would be the focal point of any coffee shop with the capital to purchase one. Unlike the Ottomatic or Cafflano, Alpha Dominche’s Steampunk is decidedly for the commercial cafe.

One of its nice design features is an airlock to prevent leaking when compressed for transport. It’s suited for both hot and cold coffee brewing, though the latter would require some hours of steeping time. The maximum it can brew at one time is about 14 ounces, which, regardless of what you think a “cup” is, could be confidently described as a large mug of coffee. Drop in grinds, screw on the plate, and invert over any cup for two to three minutes of brewing before pressing to extract the coffee through a stainless steel filter. This year, they are about to unveil the Kompact, an accordion-like press brewer without the grinder which collapses down to a near-flattened circle and weighs under half a pound. It’s particularly useful for camping and traveling abroad (although sourcing boiling water while traveling can be trickier than you’d think). Needing to only add hot water, one can grind and brew on the go, using in one container.

Last year, the team from Cafflano wowed me with their Kickstarter-funded “Klassic” all-in-one manual brewer. Pick up an Ottomatic at Williams Sonoma, Crate and Barrel, Sur La Table, or online.Ĭafflano’s Second Product Is Even More Compact, But Doesn't Have a Grinder At the festival, Chemex showed off a Manhattan skyline. Customers can now select the color for the leather ties that secure the wood collars on the glass container, and, coming soon, will be able to personalize their carafe with laser-etchings, ordered through the web. At a capacity of 40 ounces, the six cup carafe (or a little more than three large mugs), is well suited to a family of coffee drinkers or those who want to show off – and serve to others – their pricey ($350) marvel. The Ottomatic mimics the perfect pour over by preinfusing the grinds, maintaining the proper water temperature range throughout the extraction, and alerting the drinker when the brew is complete. But the Grassy family, which has owned the company since the 1980s, has launched an automatic Chemex coffeemaker, the Ottomatic, which makes the brewing process even easier than before.
