How Seattle Specialty Coffee Is Trying to Be More Inclusive | Eater Seattle

"At Moonshot Coffee in White Center, from the owners of Burien Press, I saw a scientific approach to brewing—weighing grounds and dialing in recipes—framed as an approach to hospitality rather than elitism; owner Matthew Wendland emphasized that consistent technique draws regular customers while still welcoming popular flavors like white chocolate mochas and syrups. Moonshot sources beans from Olympia Coffee Roasters, has had to balance rising costs and wages (raising prices before the pandemic while trying to keep drip coffee affordable), and positions itself to be approachable so people aren’t excluded by coffee lingo." - Rachel Hopke
