Firstly as a newcomer to coffeesnobs I want to say how much I have enjoyed the general discussions. My home roasting has definitely improved after reading the opinions of the pros and serious amateurs on this site. Thanks guys!
I was talking to a friend the other day and he said something that made me sit up and think "why not". He basically proposed that consumers nowadays are at the stage where a good cafe could offer more than one coffee blend at the same time. I know that I would welcome such an enterprise as I personally like to drink different beans at different times of the day. In the morning I prefer a "milder" coffee(eg Yirgacheffe) than say the Yemeni or Sulawesi I would ideally like at midday. Im sure I not alone here.
I would love to see a cafe offer in additional to its usual blend say a single bean as a special which could be changed from time to time. I am sure that there would be enough consumers who would be interested and be prepared to pay a price premium for an extra special coffee. The proprietor would need to have an extra grinder handy.
Maybe someone is already doing this. Please let me know if this is the case. I live in Perth and am not aware of it happening over here
