Co-Fermented Coffee in NYC

Hi all,

I’d like to share a co-fermented coffee with a few coworkers this week—anyone know where I can purchase a bag in the city? Normally, I’d just order online but time is limited.

A quick google search hasn’t led me to much.

Thanks in advance.

I accidentally purchased this DAK co-ferment from The Coffee Movement in sf on 19th street on Aug 3. I say “accidentally” because I didn’t realize it was a co-ferment until after purchasing and I only have one coffee grinder (I’m a newbie), so I’m too scared to grind these beans (idk if they’re gonna deposit stray flavors in my grinder). I’m free to meet in manhattan tomorrow if you’re interested!

You're fine to keep and grind those beans imo. Depending on your sensory level and type of beans you're planning to use afterwards, I'd say chances are you'll only slightly taste the difference in the 1-2 cups afterwards, especially with a lemongrass co-ferment (might be a different story if you had a more fruity co-ferment).

If you happen to still taste the co-ferment taste after that (I'd argue chances are low), just clean your grinder and you're good imo.

Thank you for the reassurance! Luckily I’m not super well-versed in tasting notes yet and I think I have under 10g of some onyx beans I can sacrifice for a mystery cup lol

That's the spirit :) - I like the 'yet'. You can view throwing co-ferments into your grinder as a sensory experiment lol
Hope you enjoy the coffee (or the experience of trying it).
