What is your favorite part of coffeefest? Which is the best?

Getting to know more people on a deeper level, because it's smaller. I also love that I can kinda kick back and enjoy most of it! Plus the Millrock Latte Art competition is cool.

I love the passion you find in abundence there. Sharing in it is like refueling before heading back to the daily grind. My only question, why every other year? Two years between the refueling, the passion, the conecting, the coffee...mmmm coffee... the wait is too long I say! I can't wait til Feb.
Some of those I've trained in my cafe (the one I work in, not own) are already laughing at me because I smile and get giddy (for lack of a better word) when coffee fest is mentioned.
I've already warned them what I'll be like when I get back. :)

Coffee Fest what's not to get excited about. Getting together with friends from all over, many I only see during Coffee Fest. It's an opportunity to share notes and taste, sample and experience the wonderful world of espresso. I leave rejuvinated and re-excited.

Living and having my store here in Washington - 60 or so miles south of Seattle in Olympia - I attend in Seattle though I am planning to visit Coffee Fest outside of Washington to compare Seattle's espresso experience with that of other cities.

Cherie,
Every other year, where have I been. Actually buried in my first year open. Aside from that, every other year. Matt, we need to do something about this. Seattle is / was? the coffee capital of the US. no?

Just being there with all the coffee folks, and the passion abounds. Seattle is my favorite Wa. city in the west. I could go on but I'm already jonesing for the next.
