   from Nick

Everybody's a critic, so don't be one.

I've been in a little discussion with your friend and mine, Mr. Mark Prince, over at CoffeeGeek.

To make a long story short, he's pissed because word "got around" that he had some feedback on how his espresso tasted during a recent visit to Portland this past week. The baristas apparently didn't like his critical analysis of the coffee they pulled for him.

I told him that... well, why don't you check it out. The discussion thread on CoffeeGeek: "Should I just shut up now? Evaluating espresso in shops."

Thoughts?

Yes, youre probably the only one. I like reading his stuff, and felt he was very honest and helpful with us at our cafe when he drops in from time to time.

Look, Mark is brutally honest, but jeez, think about *why* he does what he does. He is doing it for the right reasons.
He also tends to give as many compliments as he does criticism, which I am sure he enjoys doing much more than being the heavy.
Can any of us say we have tasted as many different espresso blends as he has...that should be respected. We don´t have to agree with everything he says, but we should respect his opinion!

besides who is to say only coffee professionals can be knowledgeable about coffee?

Any feedback is good feedback...especially if you know it is coming from a refined palate and not just a regular customer....
So why not consider this knid of feedback valuble. Don't you want to know if there is something you could do better?...
Or have we reached perfection already...gee..that was quick.

I think it would be fair to say that there has been a lot of confusion and some distortion of facts as a result of too much second hand information.

Suffice it to say that I would not assume that the barista in question was "offended" (especially in a case like this where the feedback from Mark included that the shot he'd been served was the best he'd had in the past four days).

In other words... a non-story in all ways.
