I have my own coffeemaker that I love and pour my morning cup as a wakeup ritual. I can’t have more than one cup a day because I get jittery but that first morning sip is wonderful.
This is why I haven’t bought coffee at local coffee shops for years. Today, I went to a locally owned café (not a chain), and asked for a 12-ounce cup of coffee with milk. No fancy syrups, cold brews, nitro soy whipped flavored seasonal weird name concoctions. Simply Kaffee mit Milch. It cost me $6.80 and the cash register suggested adding a 20% tip.
The coffee wasn’t worth the price but the enlightenment it brought was.
