OK, it’s official: on Tuesday afternoon my beloved Common Grounds will close it’s doors for the final time. By Wednesday morning, Murky Coffee will make its debut in Clarendon. Nick has the details on the Murky Coffee weblog. Obviously, I’m excited about the change and not only because I’ll be working there. As much as I’ve enjoyed CG over the past year, I think its murkification will make it even better.

In case anyone wants to drop in to try the best damn coffee in D.C. and say hi to their favorite barista/blogger/magician, my regular schedule is slated to be as follows: Tuesdays from 7:00 am - 2:30 pm; Fridays and Saturdays from 12:30 pm - 5:30 pm. That may vary in any particular week, but if any permanent changes are made I will certainly post them here.

Note also that I’m not a full barista yet. The process of becoming one is actually much more complex than many people expect and I won’t be serving up the latte art right off the bat.
