PrintIlly Espresso Machine Giveaway from 'Edible Brooklyn'
The great folks at Edible Brooklyn want Serious Eaters to have a jolly good caffeine buzz. They've handed us two Illy espresso machines to give away in anticipation of the event, Brooklyn Uncorked on Wednesday, May 13, where every ticket holder will be entered in a raffle for goodies like this one.
The event is devoted to another liquid (wine) but it's also a celebration of food and drink in general. Representatives from Smoke Joint, Buttermilk Channel, DiPalo's, NuNu Chocolates, and many others will join the Long Island Wine Council and New York Wine and Grape Foundation.
To enter to win the Francis Francis X8 Illy espresso machine, which also comes with three canisters of coffee, tell us your favorite New York City coffeeshop. We'll pick two winners at random. And while you're at it, buy tickets to Brooklyn Uncorked. For $40, you get four hours (from 4 to 8 p.m.) of sampling, and another crack at winning this. The event will take place at the BAMcafé inside the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Comments here will close at 3 p.m. ET on Monday, April 27. One entry per community member. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Gorilla is great, but Joyce on Vanderbilt Ave and Park Place in Brooklyn is a little more low key and serving the same coffee.

levain bakery for the scones!

Think Coffee. It's overrun with dreadful NYU students, but the beverages are delicious, the "real" food like sandwiches are both LARGE and AFFORDABLE, and the cookies are diviiiine. Also, free wi-fi, and sometimes there are dogs and/or cats running around. Parfait!

Cafe Caggiano for the espresso, iced cappucino and Italian soccer games.

"Oren's Daily Roast" Best Espresso!!! And really awesome muffins.
llama at 1:34PM on 04/22/09
Since I just mentioned it on another post, I've been craving a mocha from French Roast. They serve it in a what looks like a huge soup crock that you have to hold with both hands or slurp with a spoon. Love it.

Joe is pretty great in Manhattan. Sicaffe on Lex is pretty OK, I like that it's near the Asia Society. Grumpy is inconsistent, sometimes phenomenal.
Gorilla is stellar in Brooklyn.
Actually I'm a green tea person.

I like Joe on 13th although they do follow that unfortunate trend of pouring way too much milk into their cappuccinos in order to make that leaf shape on top. The foam goes (mostly) on top, guys!
moffett at 2:59PM on 04/22/09
I don't live in NYC so I'm not sure if I'm eligible, but I had a really lovely cup of coffee near little italy. man, i wish i could remember the name of the place!

Well, this is going to sound ridiculous, coming from someone who spends hours a day on the food blogs (!) - but when I come to the Big Apple (from the nether regions of the country) to do my "museuming", I "power-up!" with Starbucks (don't choke...) Only time I drink the stuff!

Java Joe's in Park Slope. They have nowhere to sit, and I think they might be money launderers (what kind of coffee shop doesn't open till after 9am on weekdays?), but they have wonderful and fresh small batch beans and they are a local business and really a part of the neighborhood. They are the best.

I go to Porto Rico Importing Co, 201 Bleecker Street. It's a great place for whole beans, of course, but they will also brew-up a cup of anything you want at the small cafe in back. Best, freshest selection around.
