For all those who visit this page:

Mr. Black is the shit. However, beware that you never piss him off, he may be quiet but he always gets even. That's why I used to have more than one testicle.

All I have to say is Kopplin's. It's in St.Paul on Hamline and Randolph. It is one of the best in the country for sure. Let me know when you are in town next and we can meet there for coffee.
We will probably swing by the Bro. K on Saturday, see you then!

Right now I am loving our new Columbia San Rafael. Really nice acidity with some cool melon notes. They are all good, but that one is my current favorite. Had some really good Hartmann Honey from an FP yesterday though.
