@kylegriffin1 Rudy Coffee is about to become Ruby Coffee.

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

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?

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

@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.

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

@NickCho Make your happiness a priority.

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

@gefensk “Drinking coffee.”

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

@HumblTumbl @rohindhar Are you against tipping baristas?

25% is an $0.87 tip. If that’s too rich, make your own cappuccino.

[Dear Coffee, I.L.Y. @DCILY]

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?
