Starbucks is a global coffee company and coffeehouse chain based in Seattle, Washington. (I know Starbucks isn't based in the DMV area but I got it at lunch today and wanted to post something.)
From the roaster: Bright with a juicy acidity, low wine notes and fruity flavors—ranging from black currant and blackberry to tart grapefruit—that become more pronounced as the coffee cools.
Method: Clover machine at my local Starbucks (I wish I had one of these at home!)

Trager Brothers French Roast Review
Trager Brothers is an organic roaster from Lovingston, VA.
From the roaster: Deep, dark, and roasty but never burned or bitter. If you dig big, bold, and powerful then look no further than our rugged Latin blends.
Method: French press, slightly under extracted to capture more flavor notes from the coffee.

The Plan
It is my intention to provide short reviews and personal comments on my two most favorite things: coffee and beer from the Washington DC Metropolitan area (I'll throw in Delaware too but only because of Dogfish Head). I am by no means an expert on either subject but I am a homebrewer and I have experimented with many types of coffee brewing techniques (Aeropress, french press, pour-over, cupping, etc). I hope at the very least this becomes a nice little imbibables database!
