I am sure it does make a difference. We are looking to raise $5600, a modest amount, but still significant.
I am glad you like our product, funny you wrote "spresso" since we thought about using an 'o', but the 'a' is a bit softer, more feminine which to us sounds more pleasing. It's 'Spressa', pronounced "S-press-ah".
I have contacted coffee shops, in fact I was out half the day doing just that. We are primarily doing organic/grassroots marketing so we are exploring all opportunities that we can! So far the reception has been good and the buzz is building in Seattle. The coffee culture crowd can be tough though and very critical. We do however welcome all comments and criticism.
