I was recently watching an episode of Strange foods It had a lot of interesting facts and information about the Seattle coffee scene. Seattle people take coffee very seriously, and they should! It has quite an interesting history there and a lot of fun facts. Today I’ll cover some of the cool things I learned from watching this food show starring Andrew Zimmern.

First, Seattle is home to the first Starbucks ever! Starbucks opened its first store in 1971 at Pike Place Market, which is located in downtown Seattle. The original Starbucks location was decided because Market is a historic district with design guidelines, the store retains its original 1970s look! It is a very attractive place and I would love to visit this store one day. However, as the show pointed out, Seattle is also known for all of its Mom & Pop coffee shops. That’s what really makes the city an interesting place to visit for coffee lovers.

One of the most impressive coffee shops in Seattle is Seattle Coffee Works. Seattle Coffee Works has a cafeteria and a tasting room. It is a place known for experimenting and experimenting with coffee in its richly diverse forms and varieties. They call the tasting room their “Slow Bar” and the Slow Bar is a place to explore if you have a serious passion for coffee and new discoveries. They like to compare a French-pressed Costa Rican to a Tanzanian extracted with a World Blend espresso blend that includes coffees from South and Central America, East Africa, and Indonesia. This is a truly unique coffee experience!

Seattle is also home to Sebastian Simsch, who is known for making coffee the old-fashioned way, using what is called the sous vide method of brewing coffee. It is a very precise art that uses water at perfect temperatures, test tubes and a lot of skill. Just watching this man make coffee is exciting. On the show, she made a cup of coffee from the Colombian Cup of Excellence, where the beans were harvested on a small family farm and cost more than $ 100 a pound! Mr. Zimmern said it was possibly the best coffee he had ever had!

Seattle is also home to the makers of the “The Slayer” espresso machine that costs more than $ 20,000. Change the flavors of coffee simply by changing the pressure at which it is brewed. If you’re a true coffee lover like me, Seattle may be on your bucket list for your next vacation!
