Hello coffee company! Coffee related question here. I’m fairly new to both making and drinking coffee and I was a little unclear about whether you sell grounds or if they are whole beans. Also, how do you personally (addressing the unpaid intern) make coffee? Should I invest in a coffee maker? I got myself a French press bc it was the cheapest thing in the store but I’m wondering if that was a bad choice.

Hi. The short answer is that, like a lot of things, coffee is as complicated as you want to make it, and we are here to support both people who want it to be complicated and people who just want to drink coffee.

We sell both ground and whole bean coffee, in both light and medium-dark roasts.

If you are new to coffee, I recommend getting our Octavia roast, which is named after a butterfly that lives in Sierra Leone. It will taste most like the coffee that you are probably accustomed to from Starbucks or whatever, except it will be so much better you will be astonished. (I am literally not getting paid to say this, as I am an unpaid intern.) 

If you like lighter roasts (Starbucks’ “light” roasts are not actually light; they are still burnt like all of their roasts, because they are trying to get a consistent flavor profile from a wide variety of beans), our Calypso roast is magnificent, with tasting notes of baked apple and dark chocolate.

As for how to make your coffee: If you’re happy with French press, great! That’s a great way to make coffee! I often make coffee this way.

Also, if you have like $20 to spend to automate the process, I think drip coffeemakers are also great! In general I find them to be quite underrated, and they really are a wonder of technology, as explained in this technology connections video.

Fancy people tend to grind their own coffee because they want it to be ground to just the right degree for their particular method of brewing coffee. That’s fine. We want to support these fancy people in their endeavors.

But we also want to support people who do not own or care to own grinders. Our job as we see it is to provide coffee that is TRULY ethically sourced, that ACTUALLY seeks to support communities working to reverse deforestation, that tastes BETTER THAN ANY OTHER COFFEE, and then to donate all the profit to support stronger healthcare systems in impoverished communities.

So we are here to make great coffee that you can feel great about; we are not here to judge you for how you drink coffee.

Divine Right Monarchy is Back

One unexpected development over the last decade has been the re-emergence of divine right monarchs, only now instead of Habsburgs worshipped by Christians, we have tech billionaire godboys worshipped by atheists.

It’s a nice reminder to me that the question is not so much whether you’re going to worship–we all devote our love and attention and soulstuff in one direction or another. The question is what (or whom) you are going to worship. And one should be very careful about what one worships, at least in the experience of this coffee company.

limeshy-blog asked:

I miss interacting with John and Hank on Twitter since they’ve left but now I’m not on Twitter either much so I guess that’s a good thing.

Hi, limeshy dash blog. I am a big fan of tumblrs with -blog usernames.

Sometimes I hear people say, like, “Those early days of the pandemic were so beautiful–just being at home with family” blah blah blah blah. Like, humans can romanticize anything.

I mean, we romanticized tuberculosis, a disease that forces you to drown yourself. We were like, “Oh, sure, it strangles you from within, but it gives you such rosy cheeks. It makes you so delightfully thin. It quickens the human wit. The only reason Moulin Rouge Lady was so beautiful is because of tuberculosis. The only reason Keats was so great was because of tuberculosis. Oh, the glory of suffering!”

Our capacity for sentimentalization is simply unparalleled.

There are things I miss about twitter, too, but I do not miss the thing itself. God help me if I ever look back on twitter with fond wistfulness.

I have heard that people on tumblr follow tags

And so I have decided to choose a tag to follow. The tag is “coffee company.”

One thing about this tag is that you could post anything in that tag and I would see it. (”I” in this case refers to a coffee company, but also to the individual human who serves as the coffee company’s unpaid intern.)

This means that anyone who uses the tag has the ability to make me and others who use the tag feel bad. Or good!

What a strange power each of us has! In the old days, the only way we could make strangers feel things was by yelling at them in a saloon or wherever people yelled at strangers in the old days. But now we all have this strange power!

I (the individual who runs the coffee company’s tumblr, not the coffee company itself) have sometimes misused this power, which is something I feel a lot of regret about. So I am trying hard to be conscious of the weird powers I have.

Anyway, if you want my attention, it is at #coffee company.
