“Hello,” says the water.
Before the sun has risen, The man shall begin his morning. Opening a bag with beans that are hidden, A lovely aroma that brings a forewarning. Pouring whole beans into a hopper, The man begins the grinder dance. Twisting and turning in a fashion that’s proper, The hands of the man move in a trance.… Continue reading “Hello,” says the water.
Un Cappuccino, S’il Vous Plait

A Rushed Morning
From deep slumber awakes the morning man, To his phone that silently waits, Sent to him is a message for clarity, Messaged received, he knows what’s next.

What I believe Makes a Coffee Shop Great
Since 2017, I’ve visited over 100 coffee shops across multiple countries, states, and cities. Big shops, little shops, shops that roasted their own beans, shops where they didn’t speak English, shops that know me by name, and shops that wanted nothing to do with me. Coffee shops come in many shapes, sizes, and they all… Continue reading What I believe Makes a Coffee Shop Great
