WHEN I started working remotely, Coffee Shops quickly appealed to me as Austin is home to scores of Coffee Shops that are at the heart of this city’s unique culture. I thought, "Coffee...WiFi...Paradise!"
However, at times when larger online files needed to be accessed, WiFi speeds posed a challenge. Other times, finding plugs to remain charged was another. I wished there were a log of that type of info and then I remembered that Google is my friend.
A quick search brought me to Coffee Shop reviews from Austin Eater, Austin Monthly, Thrillist and Do512. These reviews were and still are very helpful but they don't include the data I was searching for. This info needed to be out there!
So I finally bit the bullet and set out on this sort of “Coffee Shop Cupping” to gather and provide empirical data based on criteria like WiFi Speed, Plug Accessibility, Featured Roaster/Coffee Brand, Espresso/Coffee Price, etc. as a personal project that I hope will be useful to all Austinites and visitors.
SERVE yourself right into the Criteria, Data and Scope under the Cupping page! Contact me to give any feedback.
