Half year espresso statistics

In the first half of 2011 I’ve had 110 espressos in 71 different coffee shops in Seattle and around the world, one every 2-3 days. That would be an average of 70 dollars per month well spent with coffee fun, double the Seattle average.

The most visited coffee shops were:

  1. Urban Coffee Lounge (11 times)
  2. Tougo (7 times)
  3. Seattle Coffee Works & Vovito (6 times each)
  4. Stumptown Pine & Third Floor Espresso (Dublin) (3 times each)
  5. All City Coffee, Caffe Fiore Queen Anne, Equal Exchange Espresso, Fallon & Byrne (Dublin), Starling Coffee, Stumptown 12th, Victrola Pike, Vivace Alley, Zoka Kirkland (2 times each)

The distribution according to INeedCoffee’s rating system was not quite a bell curve. It seems that I’m either too enthusiastic or too critical, but the fact is that I’ve probably reached the limit of what my palate can learn and must accept that I am not qualified to rate anything.
