The Pancake Epidemic’s CAFFEINATION Coffee Road Trip Hits Portland

Dr. Romanelli‘s latest venture as part of his creative think-tank The Pancake Epidemic sees CAFFEINATION — a new web series unveiling the best spots for coffee in various cities. In this second episode, Brandon Davenport takes us on a tour through Portland, discovering independent roasters — Coava Coffee, Courier Coffee and Stumptown Coffee — and meeting aficionados who won’t settle for your regular takeaway brew. In addition we learn how an obnoxious slurp can add enjoyment to your coffee drinking experience. Rounding up the day on 32 cups, Davenport leaves Portland with one last brew made in the car, paradoxically with a little help from Starbucks.
