I am not nearly perfect, and my admonishing begins as self directed.Alex Beecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903373025698480314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8467998390384387670.post-2514687896223359442012-11-05T08:49:10.643-06:002012-11-05T08:49:10.643-06:00Hey, thank you for posting this with perfect timin...Hey, thank you for posting this with perfect timing! <br /><br />Without going into scathing detail, I run a small library where we provide free coffee to our patrons. We can't afford to make fantastic coffee, but I did persuade the powers-that-be to let us buy a proper grinder and start using whole-bean as opposed to 2-pound canisters of dirt. The coffee's gotten worlds better. <br /><br />Last week, I overheard several people commenting on how the coffee had started tasting awful recently, which I can only presume means that these hooligans have zero taste. I didn't get myself involved in that conversation, but it still got me all worked-up.<br /><br />So thanks for reminding me that, yes, some people like shitty things, and that's OK.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
