I am surprised that Caliornia has such a low concentration of coffeee shops, especially considering that it is home to Silicon Valley with its large concentration of IT companies

[giblets]

you could just brew coffee at home instead of wasting your money

[Jon Miller]

A good coffee shop is a social nexus, not just a place to feed your addiction.

They're counting Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, so clearly the standards aren't very high.

[Jon Miller]

True, but in some places Starbucks at least can be a social nexus.

Not sure about Dunkin Donuts.

I note a rough correlation between the average temperature of a state, and the ubiquity of coffee shops in that state.

[The Mad Monk]

I would also like to note that Caribou Coffee is the best of the bunch.

I don't drink coffee. We do grow coffee though.

Re:OP, do they use blasters?

I call bs. Denny's counts.

[giblets]

As does McDonald's.

[The Mad Monk]

I don't drink coffee. We do grow coffee though.

Just chew the beans, eh?

[The Mad Monk]

Seriously though, do you market it? I've never had Philippine coffee.

[Aeson]

We don't grow very much yet. Just a few plants testing different varieties.
