Public Domain, Portland/ by Shelley Lance, Blog Editor
My husband, Frank, and I just got back from a delightful weekend visit to the City of Roses. As most everyone knows, Portland is full of great coffee houses, Stumptown being the most well known. Wandering around near the Ace Hotel, we came across Public Domain, which specializes in single origin beans and pour-over coffee. While I was debating which beans to choose for my pour-over, the counter person told me that Esmeralda Special beans from Panama were considered to make the best cup of coffee in the world, so of course I chose that one. What’s $7 for a cup of coffee when you can have the best in the world? The coffee was good, and very smooth, but honestly, a little too mild and bland for my taste. (I actually preferred the pour-over coffee that I had at Seatown Snack Bar awhile ago which was also smooth but had more acidity and a little more punch for my palate.) The best part of the experience was watching the friendly and charming baristas pour the hot water through those little glass cones. Very fun!
