As we work on things for the shop, it is obvious that we need a work space to accomplish as much. Coffee shops present themselves the most natural of options, yet we’ve found a fair amount of discomfort in this. It isn’t their fault by any means, but rather the nature of our activity. After about a week or so of being here, we have begun the coffee shop rotation schedule; frequenting any given shop without ample rest will only incur poor sentiments from the owners. We don’t heckle or judge….really. As we sit and converse on our shops’ standards, equipment, and intentions, we unfortunately highlight the inadequacies of the shops we’ve visited. Were you to remark on our pretension, I would only direct your attention to the milk encrusted steam wands, watery espresso shots, and 20 oz. cappuccinos that hail from the local shops. We chose to live, and then learn, though. We speak in hushed tones now, and we compliment the ambience and communal function of the shops.
