When you enter this quaint West Village shop, the smell of fresh roasting beans fills the air. Unopened bags of dark brown beans are displayed on the shelves alongside sugar jars as well as coffee-making equipment and tea accessories.

In 1907, the first time it was opened, Porto Rico was founded by Italian immigrants Patsy Albanese.

Sey Coffee

Located along Grattan Street in Morgantown, Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood, Sey Coffee is both a coffee shop and roaster. Co-founders Tobin Polk and Lance Schnorenberg, both 33 began roasting in a fourth-floor loft around the corner from their new store in 2011 under the name Lofted Coffee (with local clients including Greenpoint's Budin and Soho cart service Peddler).

Sey's decision to buy micro-lots, or even entire harvests from single farmers has earned it the acclaim of New York City coffee enthusiasts. In 2011, Sey purchased a six-bag micro lot of Danilo Dones Sitio Catucai, a Brazilian coffee from the Espirito-Santo region. The beans were carefully picked at peak ripeness and floated to eliminate any defects and then dried fermented for 36 hours prior to being dried on the farm. The result is a coffee with hints of berry and melon.

This allows baristas to concentrate on their craft and to earn a living.

La Carba follows a strict procedure to identify their ideal beans. They go through hundreds of varieties every year in order to find the ones that best match their ideals. They roast them light, adjusting the desired flavor profile. This gives their coffees more clarity and a better taste.

The East Village store, which opened in October last year and has been praised by critics for its top-quality pour-overs and baked goods, overseen by Jared Sexton. He previously worked at Bien Cuit, Dominique Ansel and various coffee establishments.

The Plant Coffee Roasting Plant Coffee

The Roasting Plant A multi-unit retailer of coffee roasts and brews coffee on-site. Each cup is roasted and brewed according to your preferences in less than seconds. It searches the world for the highest quality specialty beans that are directly sourced to give customers the option of choice and quality.

Their onsite roaster is an automatic fluid bed machine that is distinct from the traditional drum machines that are used in UK coffee shops. The beans are blown through a heated box with high-velocity, circulating air. This keeps the beans in suspension and allows for a consistent roasting speed.

I tried the Sumatran coffee and it was a rich cup with a velvety mouthfeel, dark chocolate aroma was evident and the coffee began to cool down as you sipped and subtle aromas of citrus fruit were detected.

The roasted coffee is then transported to the store's Eversys super-automatic brewing equipment and it is brewed to your requirements within less than a minute. Customers can choose from nine single origins as well as several blends.

In their own words in their own words, they "have an unrelenting love of craft and believe that good coffee should be available to anyone." They achieve this with their earthy area on a residential street. Think compost bins, chalkboard welcome handmade up-cycled products, and a minimally-decorated space.

They roast and create their own blends as well as single-origins (there were six when I was there) Also, they hold cuppings on Sundays, and are open to the public. Imagine it as a tasting room for breweries. You can smell and taste the ground beans, ranging from chocolaty to earthy (one was very tomato-like!). It's a little off the beaten track, but worth the trip.
