Coffee - NYC vs. LA

Back from LA now almost 3 months and still have not come close to finding a good rich cup of coffee. For those out there that live and die by the brew, or those whom just appreciate artisinal practices, should stop by Kings Road Cafe in Los Angeles. I attribute their success to many individual details executed in perfect symphony. At Kings Road, the owner Lawrence Casperson roasts the beans on presise. They also grind just prior to brewing and each cup is brewed indvidually as though they were preparing an Espresso. One other interesting note is the focus on serving the coffe at the correct temprature. All these elements and pratices result in a beautiful and robust cup of coffee that can be compared to a great cigar or rich chocolate. Beware, once you have tried Kings Road, everything else will just be a disappointment.
