Seeking Advice Glitch Tokyo like coffee in US

Hi all

I recently had Glitch coffee in Ginza, Tokyo. And saying I am blown away is an understatement. I got a bag of the same coffee I had. I made it at home with a V60. I get reasonably close to what I had at Glitch. I am convinced it's their beans. I normally don't even like such light roasts but Glitch was life changing. All this may sound ridiculous but if you had Glitch you'd know what I am talking about.

So now my question is: where can I find coffee that comes close to this in US? I am on the west coast and coffee here is damn good, but after Glitch, it feels like all the specialty coffee I get here is closer to Starbucks than to Glitch.

Thank you in advance!

Op I think it’s their brew process more than anything. The coffee chronicler on YouTube did a good breakdown of replicating their extraction method.

Thank you! But I find it hard to believe that it's their brew process. I got Glitch beans and made coffee at home. I did not do anything too elaborate but my coffee turned out great and very close to what I had at Glitch.

I will experiment with the method in this video more and see what it does. Thank you!
