You're right - Stumptown isn't bad. It also isn't the Second Coming, which is a difficult conversation to have with anyone who seeks out Stumptown. Intelligentsia, on the other hand, is shit coffee. I have thrown out coffee twice in my life: the first was Intelligentsia. The second was the free rest stop coffee south of Olympia on the drive up here. I've had free rest stop coffee for half my life, and I've never thrown it out before. I think that says something about Intelligentsia. Say what you will about the aeropress, but fuck this bullshit in the neck. I'm not (1) Grinding my fucking coffee by hand (2) making it 8oz at a time (3) spending a c-note to get three free coozies. As a manual grinder, it uses no electricity, so you can get fresh ground coffee anywhere - and a bit of arm exercise too! The grind quality is very even, and the low speed manual grinding action provides a superior tasting cup of coffee compared to a typical high speed blade grinder.
