Snobby Seattle coffee drinkers too often forget that for the majority of the country, the best cup of Joe in town is at the corner Starbucks. Proof is just a ferry ride away in Downtown Bremerton, where the local caffeine-pushers have yet to master the arts of brewing fresh, hot drip coffee during every business hour and accommodating their customers with things like Wi-Fi. (I was once asked to sign a release to gain access to the waves at one local shop; to borrow a line from Mitch Hedberg, “We do not need to bring ink and paper into this.”) When it was announced that Starbucks was coming to downtown Bremerton, it was front-page news. To local coffee drinkers, it still is. CHRIS KORNELIS 900 N. Callow Ave., 360-792-9149
