Come one, come all to D.C. Coffee Geekfest 2004.

We're hosting a little get-together for espresso geeks on Sunday, June 27, 2004, at 7:00pm. Try some different espresso blends, play around on a "legendary" La Marzocco Linea espresso machine, and expect to fall asleep at about 5:00am on Monday morning from all the caffeine buzz.

Check out the thread on CoffeeGeek, and please pre-register by leaving a comment below. This is just to get a general headcount.

Great article about Starbucks from a Portland weekly newspaper.

For the record, I have always maintained these points when it comes to Starbucks.
