Where to Find Seattle’s Best Coffee | Eater Seattle

"Groundbreaking Monorail Espresso should be on the radar for any coffee devotee. While Monorail Espresso has since transitioned to a walk-up window at Fifth Avenue and Pike Street (plus several other locations nearby), its original incarnation is credited with being the world’s first espresso cart. How’s this for a backstory? Kent Bakke and John Blackwell, of La Marzocco fame, built it with parts from a Boeing surplus shuttle cart for a guy called Cappuccino Craig; Chuck and Susie Beek bought the cart and parked it by the monorail entrance in 1980. The cart is gone, but the espresso is still top-notch." - Harry Cheadle
