Four cafes and only three addresses. What's missing?

References listed
The copious amounts of references appear to be for the purpose of self-promotion. The links to support the third wave coffee movement are misleading: link 2 says that Stumptown may be part of the 3rd wave, this article says Stumptown started it. Link 3 does not even mention Stumptown at all.
The next section with links 4,5,6,7 are also misleading. This wiki article does say that Sorenson 'sometimes' pays 3x or 4x fair trade prices, but the references point out that this is not at all normal, these generous prices are for special purchases, not for normal in store coffee. Further, the quality of Stumptown coffee, which a good part of this article promotes, is not universally accepted... Thus language should be less biased.

Updated Entry
After reviewing the references, I have eliminated the aspects of this article which were clearly self-promotional. I realize there was a conversation about deleting this article outright; since there was no consensus to that end, I have tried to present the coffee shop in as neutral a way as possible.
I'd like to note that the shop's roasting, occasional high purchase price of green beans, and attention to espresso is not at all unique to Stumptown. Neither is the reference to the 'third wave' of coffee. Squitringo1234 (talk) 20:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
