   Where are you home coffee connoisseurs buying your locally roasted beans around town... I am tired of buying stale bags... looking for actual local roasters in St. Pete with no bs / no gimmicks... just clean small batch beans I can grind at home for a decent morning pour over...

   We get our whole beans on weekend mornings at the Saturday Morning Market downtown. There are a couple of fantastic local roasters who sell fresh small-batch bags right there, and you can talk directly to the people who roasted them that week. My husband and I buy a bag every couple of weeks for our slow Sunday morning coffee on the porch.

   Top tier coffee lives and dies by the roast date. If a bag does not have the exact date it was roasted stamped on the back within the last ten days, it is absolute garbage. Stop buying dark roasts that are charred to a crisp to hide cheap beans. Look for local small-batch roasters who do a proper medium roast that actually lets you taste the origin.

   Appreciate the tip on the roast date ChefRicoSTP... do you lean lighter or medium roast for pour over setups at home...

   I always grab fresh bags from small local roasters at the weekend pop-up markets after my early morning skim session at the beach. Light roasts are my absolute favorite for brewing right after getting out of the water.

   Barefoot whenever possible.

   I am no coffee expert, but after doing my morning laps around Crescent Lake, there is nothing better than brewing a cup from locally roasted beans. The local market vendors always have fresh batches, and supporting our local small businesses makes the morning routine even better.

   Slow miles still count.
