  I appreciate Beans coffee shop, the location, nice staff, etc. However, I feel the need to make a few suggestions. Not doing so is a disservice to the community that Beans attempts to serve. I know numerous local folks who don't bother going to Beans due to the issues I'm going to mention, all of which are very easy to fix. First, I must say it's odd to pay for coffee and be handed an empty cup. Sure, at a place like Panera where refills are free and the coffee is no good anyhow makes total sense. Self serve press pots shouldn't be put out in places where refills are not included. But that isn't the only problem with press pots. I purchased a large coffee. The nice staff even warmed the mug because they are aware of how fast the coffee is going to get cold. Still, it was an empty mug. I filled it up and took a cold seat by the window. The coffee was cold before I finished half the mug. But really, the temperature of the coffee is a minor concern compared to the fact that the coffee is far too weak to begin with. The self serve coffee at Beans is no better than the self serve coffee at any gas station in town. A coffee house should be serving up a strong, flavorful, and fresh brew. I have a hunch that the baristas would prefer to pour their customers fresh coffee that they can more easily tend from behind the counter rather than hand people empty cups all day and direct them to the press pots of weak not very fresh coffee. I appreciate what you are trying to do with Beans but serving weak coffee is a disservice to our local community.
