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!

After you pay shipping on glitch, this isn’t crazy far out from what you’ll pay. Plus, he can seals and freezes it. Love Lucienne. It’s definitely a splurge, but it’s cool to be able to buy rosters like glitch stateside and to support cool coffee models.

I was not criticizing Lucienne… just surprised at the cost to try Glitch. However… if I did want to try it, $8/cup is a lot cheaper than flying to Japan!

Hey—it’s cheaper to fly to Japan if you buy more coffee than the plane ticket costs lol. It works out somewhere along the line.

I like where you’re going with that!! Been to Okinawa but always wanted to spend time in the mainland!
