When we had coffee in Tillamook (which is a fine town that has a lot to offer besides coffee), it tasted like cow. I’m not kidding. We had an americano. It must have been the water. And I’m talking the smell of cow was in the taste of the coffee. Not nice at all.

A big tip off for us in how well someone knows their coffee is in how they handle the decaf. Another place on our honeymoon was digging around the cupboard for a bag of pre-ground decaf to spoon into the portafilter. We just sighed. It was too late to walk out.
