Profile of Stumptown Founder Duane Sorenson

The Tacoma News Tribune published a long feature profile of Duane Sorenson, founder of Stumptown Coffee: Coffee’s benevolent Mr. Bean.

If you've wondered what the big deal is with Northwest coffee (specifically in Seattle and Portland), this article gives you a good flavor. It's not just a matter of how to spice up your daily latté - it's a focus on the coffee beans, where they come from, paying better-than-fair prices for good crops, and making sure that the coffee people taste is as good as your own high standards. Plus, Duane just sounds like a cool guy.
