And as a coffee shop addict (it's my form of tourism when I travel) I wouldn't have been lured into it. Seattle's got so many other coffee shops that beckon to me when I visit. But as soon as you pointed out how it makes the grounds sound used, I laughed out loud. Great point.

Your assessment of Ancient Grounds has some merit in the literal sense, but metaphorically I can't help but think about coffee drinking as something of an ancient, ancestral ritual. Which makes it all the more enjoyable. I pay keen attention to coffee house names, and even whimsically consider starting a list of all the best.
