Dear Coffee, I.L.Y.

@kylegriffin1 Rudy Coffee is about to become Ruby Coffee.

BREAKING: A judge has ruled that Rudy Giuliani is no longer entitled to bankruptcy protection — meaning creditors can pursue his assets within days. Ruby Freeman, Shaye Moss, and other creditors can now try to collect on the more than $150 million Giuliani owes them.

@michellerenee_j @willnitze @GhostTownOats @willnitze you should tell’em about @GhostTownOats

@willnitze This investor should know about @GhostTownOats then. Currently raising!

What are some examples of CPG brands doing $5-15M that… 1. can scale to $100M 2. don’t incinerate cash? There’s an investor I love that’s looking for deals like this and has insanely deep pockets.

Example:

I’m in DC for the week. I’ve been in half a dozen cafes, restaurants, and bars that seem to be exclusively run by self order kiosks and QR codes. Is this the norm here now?

@Normanito1 @purecoffeeblog @Quora I’ve brewed with AeroPress on planes before with great results. I’ve used various specialty instant coffees with better results.

@purecoffeeblog @DCILY @Quora It's impossible, more or less(er altitude).. caffesociety.co.uk/blog/why-airpl…

We’ve come so far while going absolutely nowhere. The coffee I had inside the airport at Starbucks was significantly better than the Stumptown coffee on the plane.

@Cosimonaut Looks just like CafeX

@purecoffeeblog True. Unfortunately too many put profit over quality.

@DCILY The frontier is littered with easily fixable obstacles.

@purecoffeeblog When you’re using bad coffee to start with it’s not going to be good no matter where it’s brewed.

@DCILY It is amazing that still the simplest of frontiers (brewing up a pot of good coffee on an airplane) still seems unobtainable

@michellerenee_j The number of co-packers who I’ve reached out to for a project and never heard back from, is far greater than the number that have responded.

Co-manufacturers and their dedication to being unpredictable and uncommunicative. 🤝🏾

@calebbenoit Dark roast, no distinguishing character, weak brew.

@DCILY Why was the airplane coffee no good?

Also, the Peet’s in my brothers suburban neighborhood just got a new espresso machine.

@NickCho Make your happiness a priority.

We all see a lot of dating-related content, but can we start a thread of what's been most impactful for you in working on yourself so you'll have the best relationship when you do meet the right partner?

@RobertFreundLaw Atleast you could do it in the app. Companies that make you call to cancel deserve bad things.

Finally.

WOW cancelling Class Pass is the most ridiculous experience I have had. Go on this journey with me and try to guess when the last hoop to jump through appears. Here’s Screen 1: initially trying to cancel

@deatonpigot @tectonic_coffee New Balance - Fresh Foam X

I’m working 25 hours per week on bar @tectonic_coffee and need new shoes. What are #baristas wearing these days that are good for long hours on your feet? #coffeetwitter #oldmanwoes

@gefensk “Drinking coffee.”

founder life is looking at this message & not having an answer LMAO

@deatonpigot But what size is your cappuccino! Sm, med, or lg?

“Oh, you want a 12 ounce hot cup then you have to order the 10 ounce hot cup if you want it to be a true 12 ounce” #distributors

@AaronAgre @deatonpigot Most of the great roasters I know don’t have their Q.

@deatonpigot Tell them to go get Q cert then come back to you. If they actually do it, you know they aren’t knuckle heads plus you can calibrate with a Q any time 😂😂

The old "Hey I want to start a roasting company but don't know how to roast, can I work with you on the product line to learn the ropes?" question...

@HumblTumbl @rohindhar Are you against tipping baristas? 25% is an $0.87 tip. If that’s too rich, make your own cappuccino.

@rohindhar I bet they have an iPad thingy with the ridiculous 25%, 50%, 75% tip “suggestions”though

The hipster neighborhood coffee shop that keeps its prices lower than Starbucks 🥰

Got an email for an $85/6oz co-ferment coffee. Some ?’s… What’s the quality of the coffee used as the foundation? How much does the farmer get from a price that high? Why is an artificially flavored coffee receiving higher prices than a nice gesha? Who is buying this garbage?
