This whole thing is uncalled for. I am DEEPLY offended by the use of the espresso machine. That is why I am starting my own chain of stores across town. We vow to hand grind the beans and use french press pots. Java was never intended to be brewed in such an unnatural manner.

The new store will be First Pressed Beans of the Properly Measured Proportions. We will make your coffee the way the original barista intended it to be made!
