Financial District-launched pastry chainlet Financier started roasting its own coffee in 2009 at a Park Slope facility to supply its now nine locations across the city. As of this week, the company now sells half-pound tins for retail at $8.50. While buying the beans and grinding them yourself is an ideal for the freshest cup (Blue Bottle, for example, only sells bags of beans), digging out your grinder isn't always a first priority in the mornings, so you can opt for to buy the stuff already ground.
