Where to Go Next: Best U.S. Coffee Bars Food insiders are as excited to talk about coffee bars as they are restaurants: The quality has gotten that good. Here, the classic and new places around the country with the most fanatical devotees. By Nick Pandolfi Oklahoma City Coffee Slingers Melody Harwell brought serious coffee to Oklahoma City when she opened Coffee Slingers in a renovated car dealership in March. She’s such a stickler for quality that she insists all of the cappuccinos be served exactly the same way, in seven-ounce ceramic mugs, and she’ll only make coffee with a French press using single-origin beans.www.foodandwine.com/restaurants/coffee-slingers

URBAN SPOON Just the best” by LPecan March 17, 2009 – “Likes it - This is the only third wave shop in OKC, and it does not disappoint. Excellent espresso! “Tops!” by CTS March 12, 2009 – “Likes it - I usually don’t go all-in for a place, but it’s hard not to with Coffee Slingers. They support fair trade, organic, non-gmo, & local products which is tops! I can’t find a fresher, more aromatic, tasteful cup of coffee anywhere in town. Their chai puts all others to shame. The one thing I think everyone needs to keep in mind when visiting Coffee Slingers is that it isn’t Starbucks and your experience will be completely different from one at Starbucks. Every one of the Slingers is friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. The biggest mistake I see is first-time visitors will not explain what they like before ordering a drink - and what they end up with isn’t what they expected. Coffee Slingers is coffee perfection, and their teas are unbeatable!” “So good” by orientalbeat February 25, 2009 –“ Likes it - I work at another coffee shop and I don’t like hanging out at work… So, I come here! I always get the iced mochas, I like it especially because coffee shops usually make flavored lattes overly sweet. Coffee Slingers has the perfect balance. “ “Best Coffee” by Okdoughboy January 04, 2009 –“ Likes it - My new fav cafe for a cup of coffee. Enjoy drinking from an actual coffee cup instead of a paper cup. Light pastries that are delicious. With the free wifi, I will sometimes makes this my office for entire mornings. “ http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/46/740927/restaurant/Midtown/Coffee-Slingers-Oklahoma-City

I dropped that “Y’all” like it’s hot. It’s kind of funny. I spent a few years in Texas as a child and the southern slang for “you, you all, you guys…. you name it, has been gone from my vocabulary for decades. I spent a week in Oklahoma City, Ok and guess what, y’all. IT’S BACK!!!” http://www.barefootcoffeeroasters.com/people/family/customers/coffee-slingers/

The 21 Best Cups of Coffee in America

13. Coffee Slingers - Oklahoma City - In their own words, Coffee Slingers (slang for baristas) is “the coffee coup battling lazy pervasive brown water.” Solid lattes, caps, house-made chai and 18-hour cold-brewed coffee are soldiers in their fight, and they’re winning.

What is cupping?

On 3rd Saturday of the month at 3pm, the caffeinated and the curious can take part in an actual ritual: Called “cupping,” the process is similar to wine tasting; it’s the way Coffee Slingers coffee buyers evaluate different beans, and at the shop it helps educate consumers about the beverage. It serious stuff and its fun.

The baristas present a series of beans, first whole, then ground, so participants can inhale the aromas of each. Then, hot water poured onto the grounds raises a crust of coffee on the surface of each cup, for further sensory evaluation. Finally, it’s time to sample the brew and discuss its flavor and aroma lasting 30 min and you travel to different parts of the world with your senses.

“Coffee Slingers compares coffee by its Climates, rainfall elevation and what grows around different coffee farms all over the growing regions of the world. We have a new word in the coffee world borrowed from the wine world “Terroir” The ecology is the coffee soul.

“It’s a seed to the cup appreciation” And you can experience right here in Oklahoma City @ coffee slingers.
