Drink Coffee Do Stuff

Extraordinary Coffee in Truckee, California

Nick Visconti is a Truckee/San Francisco native who grew up carving the slopes of Northstar California since the age of 1. He then spent most of the 2000’s traveling the world as a professional snowboarder. The name is familiar, his dedication runs deep and his personality is inviting. He has put his professional riding in the back seat and is now pursuing a career in coffee. Yes, after 5 years of roasting apprenticeships in specialty coffee jobs in the Pacific Northwest, Visconti and his wife moved back to Truckee where they are now roasting coffee in Truckee, California.
  

Drink Coffee Do Stuff – Extraordinary Coffee Leads to an Extraordinary Life is his brand. "Whether they’re off to work or their next Tahoe vacation, I want this coffee to be the catalyst to a really extraordinary day,” says Visconti. His brand is deigned to reflect the mountain culture and adventure lifestyle that is found in Tahoe. To make the Tahoe life even better (or at least your morning cup of coffee), they offer free delivery in Truckee and Northstar. “Less hassle, better coffee, extraordinary life,” says Visconti.
  

Visconti’s deep rooted passion for coffee shows in the quality product that he is making. “Roasting coffee is a dance of art and science. I’m manipulating the chemistry of the coffee bean on a molecular level, but it’s also an art where I’m using all five of my senses,” Visconti says. The precision and care that is put into his beans results in a magnificent cup of coffee. All of the beans that Drink Coffee Do Stuff is roasting are classified as specialty coffee and grown between 4,000 and 9,000 feet (ideal growing elevations). So far, all roasts have scored above 80 points on a 100 point scale by industry experts.

Seeking out a good coffee shop when you're in a new town is a great way to warm up to the local scene.  There's a variety of choices to fit your style about town. 

For the place to see and be seen, head to Coffee Bar in Old Town Truckee.  Their amazing coffee starts with the bean.  Coffebar uses only C1 grade, organic, sustainable and direct-trade coffees.  This, and the combination of baristas that are always striving to perfect the art, results in one delicious cup of coffee in any form… espresso, mexican mocha or….  The weather is heating up and the deck is always open.  If you end up enjoying your coffee for too long and day turns into afternoon, you can switch to their selection of Italian beer and wine!

On the other side of town located next to the firehouse on Donner Pass Road is Wild Cherries Coffee House.  I often find myself stopping here two times a day.  Once to get the day going and again for lunch or an afternoon pick-up.  The food selection is just perfect for a quick bite to eat in the morning, a snack or for lunch.  If you go, you have to try the fresh baked muffins in the morning and the homemade vegetarian chili for lunch!

A smaller neighborhood coffee shop is located by the 7-11 across from the Regional Park just above downtown Truckee.  Tuff Beanz is a great place to find a quiet corner in one of the cozy booths or couches gathered around the fireplace and read a book while sipping your coffee.  This one is only for the early birds as they close at 2pm.  

And coming soon…. Dark Horse Coffee from San Diego.  Looking forward to checking this place out.  Located in the historic Cook's building on the other side of the tracks from Old Town Truckee below Spirit Interior Design.
