Laying down the groundwork

I've decided on the format for my reviews. I will be doing one coffee shop a week, alternating new ones and favorite haunts. To review a new coffee shop I will go there at least three times in the week, ordering a combination of brewed coffee, espresso drinks, and food. I will visit there at different times of day and night. And at least one visit will be with a companion.

Basic criteria will be:

• Atmosphere (light, noise, music, seating, parking)
• Coffee quality, including price
• Wireless (y/n, free?)

I will also take pictures and size up the vibe. After a month, I will begin returning to coffee shops and doing update reviews.

Other plans include:

• A map of some sort (which might be outsourced)
  
  
• A formalized "recommend me coffee shops" link

I will always be open to recommendations.
