Dad helped him taste for flavor and quality, and Oliver chose roasters from across the country for their stories and their beans, including Afficionado Coffee, Rusty's Hawaiian, Java Love, Pablo's Coffee, Klatch Coffee and Queen City Coffee Roasters. Each day brings 50 grams of specialty coffee, enough for two medium cups. And yes, he already has ideas for next year.24 days, $108. Preorders ship Nov. 20.
