Koffi – Palm Springs

Koffi in Palm Springs started in 2002 according to their web site with the manifesto that “Palm Springs Deserves a Coffee Destination as Unique as its Community.”  They now roast their own beans (which you can buy if you like) and have a roast to order program.

The shot I had was what they call the Milano style roast.  In other words, properly roasted.  They also offer “Seattle Roast” which seems like a way to woo Starbucks fans.  The shot was not out of this world, but it was a decent one.  I watched as the barrista used a Mazzer grinder to dose what looked like at least 20 grams.  The shot was timed at 28 sec on what I believe was a Synesco Cyncra machine.

They only pour doubles, but at $2.50, it’s hard to complain about that.
