Coffee Rating Scale: (* see footnote)

Level 1: Cheap coffee made once and sits all day. (See auto service lobbies, accounting offices, motel lobby) Level 2: grade 1 beans made to order, presented as “special” roast. (See fast food coffee, newer by-the-cup coffee machines) Level 3: upgraded beans, freshly prepared. Espresso drinks taste fresh. (See chain coffee shops) Level 4: exceptional beans roasted perfectly and prepared with expert care. Taste is richly complex. Often available as pour-over and espresso. (See specialty coffee shops)

Craft Coffee Parlor is a Level 4 coffee experience. Notes: Unique atmosphere, excellent service. Coffee is expertly prepared and delicious. Price is excellent for such quality.
