Are you kidding me?
I recall thinking that the smell off Folgers Coffee was over the top. I could not wait to get my first sip of this liquid gold. As you can imagine, I nearly spit the sip of patent leather dirt monster back into the cup. It was awful. It was a travesty of Greek proportion. Nasty. Disgusting. And, all other applicable adjectives. It took me back to that dreadful night at my buddies house where I knocked back and quickly gave back my first beer. I think I lead with a machismo, “this is really good stuff.” And, ended with, “god, I promise – never again – just take away the pain.”
Acquired Taste
Fast forward and of course I am happy to report that coffee and great craft beer are things that I really enjoy. Beer in moderation and coffee in excess and yes I consider myself a snob. I would not dream of tossing back a cup of Folgers, Maxwell House, Budweiser or Coors and I know the difference between and Arabica and Robusta bean. My favorite roasters are Starbucks followed very closely by illy and Caribou. And, up to now I have always been frustrated that I can not keep a good cup hot enough long enough to enjoy it to the end.
I ran across these little gems a couple of weeks ago and I was instantly sold. Sold for two reasons – Dave and Dave are two guys just trying to change their little piece of the world. And, their product is genius. I can only do justice to their story by letting them tell it – vid
To sum it up – they are worthy.
