The Index List
The following index is broken down as follows:
- "CC" (aka Coffee Commentary posts on coffeehouses) are listed first by geography
- "Mugged" posts follow, listed alphabetically by Roaster
- All other posts, follow at the bottom according to date posted
Each establishment or coffee is rated by quality and appeal, so please use the following key to better aid in your browsing:
pretty bad marks
1+ = poor (avoid)
2+ = ok (not really worth your time)
fair to decent rating
3+ = average (worth a go)
4+ = good (a pleasant experience)
high accolades
5+ = really good (a fine specimen)
6+ = amazing (whoa...)
