Likely the worst coffee I have ever had.

by Thorigny at Citysearch

I used to work coffee. I get it. I like my coffee strong, and pure - but with less caffiene, cuz I'm a wuss. I ordered a split shot americano - not a difficult drink by any means. One shot decaf, one shot regular. Black.

The decaf is kept on top of the machine (you know its warm up there right?), preground, not air tight - in a clear plastic cup with a hole in the lid for easy pouring.

Girl pours coffee into the portafilter - DOESNT TAMP GROUNDS... Uh, what? Accordingly, the shots pour in less than 5 seconds. No creme, no body - NO FLAVOR.

Do you even know what good shots are supposed to look like? Rich and dark - nice frothy head? How does that even look acceptable? Oops, no matter - there it goes - into my drink...

Time to change the portafilter to regular... If you have to POUR your portafilter into the knockbox, its NOT a good sign.

I love the fact that this place is owned locally, but you really need to train these girls better. The girl working was friendly and courteous, just obviously uninformed.

If the coffee had been mediocre, I wouldnt have bothered posting a review. But the flavor was downright disgusting. I literally poured my drink out two blocks down the road.

• Pros: ?
• Cons: Worse than instant coffee...

Comitted to quality coffee

I take my espresso straight, no flavor nothing added, and have done so for more than 25 years. Bean-me-up consistently pulls shots with great flavor! I am all over spokane daily and have found coffee that may be comparable,but not as reliable. Over the years there have been new faces occasionaly ,but the quality of the coffee as well as the service have never been com promised. On the subject of service ,demeanor and personality are, I believe, integral parts of the experience, and the barista's at Bean Me Up are genuinely great girls. While they appreciate the tip's(they deserve them!) you will never feel that they are working for it, they care about you and youre satisfaction and I know I show my appreciation more than anywhere else because of this.

Great coffee,snacks and service with friends you look forward to seeing, what more could you ask for?

Great Girls, Great Coffee, Great Converstaion!

Bean Me Up Espresso is a great place to go for friendly service and amazing coffee. They offer all of the typical drinks you can find at most stands as well as much, much more. They have their own recipes for some amazing drinks including their own granita and strawberry lemonade. The girls there are great conversationalists and very fun and energetic. WIth 4 sites, you can get tasty coffee all over spokane! Also their prices are amazing too, way cheaper than starbucks and most small town shops, but still great value!

The owners are very friendly and well known around the area... you may have seen the big yellow truck reading "Linda's Tonka Toy". Anytime you feel the need for a drink or yummy snacks, i recommend you swing by a Bean Me Up Espresso!!!
