Jack’s Stir Brew Coffee

Description
This organic, fair-trade coffeehouse, with locations in the West Village and Financial District, opens a third outpost inside Nolita eatery Rice. Owner Jack Mazzola’s stir brewer—a contraption of his own patented design—mixes a house blend of Central American, Peruvian and Sumatran beans while they’re being brewed to remove bitterness and evenly extract their flavor. The resulting mug, a smooth, dark roast tempered with the addition of local milk from Hudson Valley Fresh,is best enjoyed with a chocolatechip cookie, made from a family recipe.
