10-cent tax on each espresso drink

Isn't that like Idaho putting a luxury tax on French Fries ?


Wonder if there will be a Seattle Coffee Party ala Boston-style

If it really goes to those programs, why the hell not?

It's not like everyone drinks espresso, and not everyone can afford to drink it enough to where a dime each time will actually make a difference.

Of course, that's assuming the cash would actually get to the right places...

I have at least one espresso drink a day.
