PSA to post-Covid lockdown society: You aren't home on a muted/cam off Zoom. This is a concert, restaurant, or movie theatre. We can all hear and see you. Yes, it is loud. It's a concert. Yes, you are ruining it for the rest of us. We don't care about your Aunt's foot problem, either. Why the Crocs?

How do you still make money in #coffee, selling coffee, running a cafe, when the economy is slowing down? If you were advising a friend dreaming of opening a corner cafe or a specialty roastery...what advice might you offer? #coffeesky #specialtycoffee #coffeenerd #coffeepeople #entrepreneursky

"According to the Inflation Calculator (4) put out by the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, $100 in 2026 has the same purchasing power as just $11.61 did in 1970." That is a lot less coffee. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

As solar becomes cheaper and more accessible, there's an opportunity to electrify farms and lower costs for coffee production while improving farmers’ climate resilience and quality of life. Globally, coffee communities are showing the way—what’s needed now is the will, and the funding, to scale.

Solar-Powered Coffee
Many coffee communities around the world lack access to reliable, affordable power. As energy costs rise and the climate crisis takes hold, solar may hold the key.

Can we all agree the best recipe for a French press is to grind med-coarse, 15:1 water ratio, set the timer for about 4ish minutes and then forget about it for whatever the length of the YouTube rabbit hole you go into is? Mine today steeped for at least 20 minutes and it is excellent. #coffeesky
