      <![CDATA[Have to respond to Kevin K, who makes some excellent points, but may actually need to visit some of the bars/shops mentioned in this piece.<br>
I agree that espresso is way down on the brewing method totem pole when it comes to revealing the full dimension of truly great coffee (competitions like Cup of Excellence, designed to discover the best coffee from a particular origin, would never use espresso as the brewing method to judge coffee quality). Espresso brewing is good for creating what I like to call “coffee beverages” (basically, brewed coffee with extra things added: milk, sweeteners, flavors, etc.).

      <![CDATA[Mixed emotions for this veteran of the specialty coffee trade who worked for Starbucks in their heydey and has advocated for "taste of place" and lighter roasts far longer than any of these so-called "third wave" places have been around. <br>

Passion and innovation are always welcome and sorely-needed.
