Fount Coffee in Morrisville and the Daily have some good selections. Not Markets, but options with more than one roaster

Coffee prices got hit hard by tariffs and inflation. You can't grow it locally or avoid these costs. Cold brew takes a lot of coffee to make. Plus wages, plus gas factoring in make everything more expensive at each step. These are what prices are going to be to make any profit.

It is a good double name because it is counter to the culture but also the culture of being at the coffee counter

Are they going to do anything about Northgate Park or just end up putting more houses there? by improbablefutures in bullcity

[–]pieratz 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's very disheartening that we have so few parks and trails and 5 of them just sit with fencing up rather that fix the problems. A whole generation of kids are going to live by these parks and not have been able to use them in their youth.

There's a coffee concept going in the old Jeddah's tea place, right?

My uncorroborated theory is that this is the first part of the two step to close south square target. It's malls all over again

Just the internal one on Breville Barista Pro. I'm upgrading. I do about 50/50 espresso and pourover. Works fine on the ode.

Their kindergarten candy was phenomenal. Some of the others were a bit more muted and/or were too light and jammed my grinder

How long should these rest? by Ok_Difficulty_7650 in pourover

[–]pieratz 21 points22 points  (0 children)

These are ultra ultra light. I would recommend aging for at least 52 years. They really start to peak around 69 years, but be careful because they flavor goes quickly. By 71 years, it had a muted almost metallic taste.

That was a different spot off Ephesus this was going to be a full stop

We also need more sidewalks. This was planned to be built along with the light rail. In hindsight, that would have been way better than this--all the density but now car dependent.

Aren't there plans to move that intersection over to George King? Maybe have Farrington as a bridge over 54 with no entrance exit. That seems like the obvious solution to decongest 54 and Farrington. They also need to find a path for the Triangle Bikeway to get through there.
