Bird Rock Coffee Roasters

My wife got me this Bird Rock Coffee Roasters espresso cup years ago on a trip to San Diego. This cup is my favorite espresso cup because it's got their fun logo of a van with surfboards on the top zooming down the road. Their coffee is also excellent.

I've started looking out for more third wave roasters that sell branded espresso cups. My goal would be to build up a nice collection of them, but I'm finding that not a whole lot of roasters sell branded espresso cups. If you have one to recommend, send it over to me.

@clint I'd love a color follow up pic of that cup with the logo and your cup collection, please.

@clint Bird Rock is good. The rotating single-origins are the reason regulars keep coming back — the espresso's fine but the washed Ethiopians are what they're actually known for.

@clint It's always a temptation to buy new cups, there are really many nice designs. If it wasn't for the space they take. But espresso cups are quite small... :ablobcatcoffee:
