Coffee houses make
coffee an experience
Coffee from a vending machine is like liquid tar
and it eats a hole through even the strongest
stomach walls. How anyone could drink it is
unimaginable.
For modern, health-conscious coffee drinkers,
the act of drinking java should be more than a means
to an end.
That means more than just getting wired.
Because coffee has been recently linked to
everything from pancreatic cancer to diabetes
(although inconclusively), it just doesn't make sense
to take the beverage for granted.
If you're going to drink it, you might as well en
joy it. That means making coffee an experience, if
even a minor one.
The only real place to feel any sense of what cof
fee should be and has been is at a coffee house. Cof
fee houses are seeped in history and romance which
gives them an distinctive atmosphere.
Walking into The Beanery or the High Street Cof
| fee Gallery, two coffee houses close to the Universi
1 ty, is not quite like walking into a coffee house of
17th-century London, but vestiges of the past in
[ herently remain.
' Those coffee houses of the past were the hubs of
intellectual activity in Europe, where scholars and
f budding writers often sat talking in the smoke-filled
rooms.
These "penny universities" served as important
[ centers for discussing the issues of the day during
the restrictive puritanical reign of Oliver Cromwell.

A cup of espresso at the High Street Coffee Gallery
isn't a penny, but it's worth the price.
Graphic by Shawn Bird
restrictive and leading intellectuals now go to discos
in New York City, but coffee houses still offer
something different from anything else.
Someone once described it as "dusty," but the
High Street Coffee Gallery has a special atmosphere
that can only be labeled European.
In a large old house at 1243 High St., the gallery
has simple wooden chairs, tables and booths that
give the place an intimate and comfortable feel.
While jazz or classical music plays softly on the
stereo, relaxing with a good cup of coffee is easy.
High Street also has a few outside tables with
umbrella covers located behind the building for
those times when the weather is nice.
The coffee at both High Street and The Beanery is
on par with the best Eugene has to offer, and the
prices aren't that bad. Unlike some places, you don't
feel rushed.
The Beanery is closer to campus, at 790 14th Ave.,
where the Homefried Truckstop used to be. The at
mosphere isn't quite as intimate, but it still has a
"sense of history" about it.
There are some nice additions to the Beanery,
such as study lights on the outside tables and a glass
tank full of cold, clear water. The coffee cups sit filled
with hot water to keep the cups warm. The overhead
fans also add a nice touch.
The Beanery exclusively serves Allann Brother’s
coffee, a Corvallis-based roasting company.
Although not many are familiar with it, the name is
pronounced more like "elan" than "Allen."
Coffee houses are more than just coffee,
although the coffee is very good. The atmosphere
and sense of history is enough to help alleviate any
fears of recent scientific findings.
And remember, coffee machines may be quick,
but espresso they're not.
