I know you’ve already gotten a bunch of answers including the going black option that I’m chiming in with… But I went through a similar process a few years back now. It took experimenting with lots of different brands until I found one that I could happily drink black. Not sure where you’re located, but I found a local roaster that I’ve been super pleased with. It’s called Goshen. It’s more expensive coffee but it’s also ruined a lot of other coffee for me now

Hoooraaaaay! Question mark

TIL I’m above average.

I am! I loved all 4 special books he put out last year too

Currently reading Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson. Trying to work my way through all four books. It’s been pretty slow going but I’m really enjoying them

Once

I use their files all the time for work. Super useful!

I thoroughly enjoyed that movie and how different it felt to other films at the time. Some good, dark, zaniness

Ish. But it also shows the the tip of the severe amount of work you have to put in to be not just good but great at what you do. There’s something special about cooking for people. If anything those shows are more like watching professional sports for those that are in to sports. They can appreciate the amount of work somebody had to do to get there. Sure, anybody can make a meal, just like anybody can make a shot in basketball, but to be able to take the shot and get nothing but net many times over… That’s hard work and practice. There are those that will end up in that field due to misplaced notions and there are those that will end up there because it was the only way to earn a paycheck. But to get to that level it takes a lot of drive, passion, and willingness to learn from your failures. But, you’re right, there will always be that group of high school football players or kids that got A’s in home ec that watch that and think “That could easily be me”

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendation. I’ll have to do just that. We always buy from a local roaster but I can completely get behind trying this company out

I have now. How is it? I love everything about their message

I absolutely love all things Goshen coffee but it’s also because they’re local to me.
