Caffeination Cascadia: The Best After-Dinner Coffees for Thanksgiving

by | Nov 24, 2014

Thanksgiving is, for many, the best meal of the year. Timeless family recipes resurface, a smorgasbord of holiday flavors appears, and we celebrate family and friends by sharing the best possible food with them. What are you having to top dinner off?

You’re having the best possible coffee, of course. Coffee is coming into its own as a gourmet beverage for the first time, with flavor profiles, terroir and pairings being taken seriously by ever more people. Noteworthy restaurants from coast to coast are increasingly focusing on their coffee programs with a sincerity only attributed to wine in the past. Seattle fine dining beacon Canlis, for one, offers two rotating types of espresso prepared three ways, alongside three varieties of coffee brewed to order. All are roasted weekly and rotated seasonally, and the waitstaff is trained in the nuances of each, capable of recommending the best coffee to suit diners’ tastes or to pair with any dessert.

In short, coffee is how we cap an evening. So the best meal of the year deserves the best possible brew. The following are five worthy of Thanksgiving dinner.
