My wife and I moved to the DC area from Berkeley, California several
months ago.  Berkeley, for those who don't know, is a coffee drinker's
paradise.  Each morning, the best coffee shops roast only as much as
they expect to sell that day, which is possible because each shop has
many customers and no more than a dozen varieties of beans.

In contrast, the shops that we've visited around here appear unlikely
to offer a quality product.  Many of them have several dozen varieties
(often mostly anonymous beans with various flavors added; don't the
people who shop here like coffee?) and very few customers.  Naturally
we suspect the beans are not fresh, and if we ask when they were
roasted we get incredulous looks from the clerks (don't the people
who work here like coffee?).  Despite our misgivings we have purchased
from a couple of the shops (a place in the mall on M Street and "The 
Beanbag" in Bethesda), but we have not been pleased.

Our friends in Berkeley are begining to laugh at us for requesting
care packages.  In a city this big there must be enough people who
appreciate good coffee to support a few truly good shops.  Where can
we find good freshly roasted coffee beans?
