Coffee’s Uneven History in America, From Its Early Days to the Growth of Third Wave | Eater
"Founded by coffee aficionado George Howell in Boston, this early second-wave shop helped make Americans take coffee and the diversity of its flavors seriously. Working in the same movement that Erna Knutsen helped define as “specialty coffee,” the shop emphasized higher-quality beans from regions like Asia and Kenya and played a key role in elevating U.S. coffee culture beyond the stale, inconsistent brews of earlier decades." - Madeleine Davies
