Whether you like it hot or cold, bitter or sweet, light or dark, dripped or poured, Los Angeles’ robust world-class coffee scene has it all. So grab a cup as MUNCHIES takes you for a caffeinated inside look at LA Coffee, from Good Land Organics’ high quality beans to the sorting, cupping and scoring of a premium batch with Intelligentsia’s Geoff Watts. Next, roast some beans with Copa Vida and learn how to make the ultimate brew at Portola Coffee Lab and a kick-ass coffee cocktail at Theorem, their concept bar. World Barista Champion Michael Phillips of Blue Bottle Coffee then schools us on making the perfect pour for your morning latte. There’s no doubt Los Angeles is emerging as a must-go destination for the world’s coffee-crazed.
“It feels like it’s at a fever pitch right now—give it two years and you’re going to see the face of LA coffee change dramatically. It will easily be one of the destinations that people will put on the map when they’re talking about journeys to Coffee Mecca.” –Michael Phillips, Blue Bottle Coffee
