Before, often during when there's a good cafe. I prefer light roasts and African origins but I enjoy coffees from any good source. I like to support local roasters, and there's a shop (two or three actually) in Manhattan that gets coffees from roasters around the world, I just got this one today from Coffee Collective in Denmark because I left the George Howell coffee I got two weeks ago in Newton at my upstate house. I like to get different coffees each time I buy.
Oh, and my son manages a cafe here in NYC, Proof Coffee Roasters on East 27th. Ask for Jacob.
I most commonly brew using a V60 dripper followed by Aeropress. I use a Siphon when I'm feeling showy. Sometimes I enjoy a Moka pot or French Press, depending. I have an old Gaggia espresso machine and my grinders include a Baratza Preciso that I just got a new burr set for, a Capresso Infinity, and my son is holding a Mazzer Super Jolly tor me that his shop was going to toss. I like coffee!
