Guess our February and March get-togethers, in order of best shops, need to be in:

Scottsdale
Tucson
Chandler
Phoenix
Gilbert
Mesa
Glendale

per https://www.azcentral.com/story/enterta ... 834942001/

We can do that...

Ahead of National Coffee Day on Wednesday, Sept. 29, WalletHub released a list of the 2021 Best Coffee Cities in America, ranking the 100 biggest cities in America by their "coffee lover-friendliness."

The list used metrics including the number of affordable coffee shops, coffee houses and cafés, the average price of a cappuccino, the number of adult coffee drinkers and more to determine which are the best coffee cities in the U.S.

Possibly excepting Tucson, works for me.

This year we will be in Phoenix, Tucson, and then onto Las Cruces. Need to scope out NM HB'ers as well.

I'll see what I can find.

Get that crowd we had roiled up and venturing forth!

Now, off to see if we can find an HB'er or two in Las Cruces. I think I will start with:

200 Conway Ave. Unit: A
Las Cruces, NM 88005

Phoenix Pholks, survey ready.

I have found that calendars book early (clears throat for Sinkshot). I put together a brief survey for February of when I will be in Phoenix (Feb 21-26). Let's pick a date by checking all dates which work. We can find two shops in the Phoenix metro after we pick a date.

Survey is here. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/9FCL6SM
Please respond on the survey and to this thread so we can get a count for the Phoenix area.

Tucson peeps. If interested we can do the same down there. From Feb 28 thru Mar 14.
Las Cruces/El Paso Damas y Caballeros, give a shout, from Mar 16 thru 30.

I would love to take a 2-3 day trip and finally meet up with my coffee brethren from this site. Let me see what I can arrange.

This would be great -- last time out there were 6-7 of us. Would be a delight to meet you in person. Get Yakster and Sosha on the plane with you. We did a crawl in SF years ago.

RapidCoffee has rounded up a shop in Mesa w/a lever and there are numerous shops which we missed last time that are calling our names, Home-Barista™️ ☕️ers.

I might be amenable for a long weekend trip, let me know what you decide Tom.
