That's right: The coffeehouse known for French press pots is jumping on the espresso bandwagon. (French press fans needn't worry. 3Cups isn't discontinuing that method of brewing.)
On Monday, August 24, 3Cups will begin offering cappuccino, latte and other espresso variations. To give customers a preview (and baristas a chance to practice), they're serving free espresso shots from 12:30-1:30pm, August 18-22.
