What's the story behind your login name?

Do you drink more or less now that you've gone over to the dark side?

I have noticed that since I got into "specialty coffee" I am drinking much less coffee. Far better coffee, obviously, but not nearly in as large quantities. I used to drink at least two full pots of auto-drip a day. Now I might drink a couple of doubles and at the most three cups of AP/FP/Clever/Che...

A big thanks to all sponsors, because of NW Espresso Parts' generosity there's now a Gift of a MyPressi, some demis and even a bag of their espresso on the way, all because I cut and pasted text every once in a while. Dan, you really are doing something special for our community. Thank you!

I think I hate espresso, help!

May I suggest a trip to Octane (octanecoffee.com IIRC). You'll definitely get great espresso there. If you're ever down towards Griffin, the Safehouse (dirtycup.com) is apparently doing some interesting stuff, though I've never been there myself
