Good God, that was a really great commentary. I’ve been thinking about writing a piece like this for A Table in the Corner of the Cafe – I came close with my “Coffee Snobbery” post. I’ve been in the coffee industry for almost ten years now and even I have been the recipient of slander, mockery, and all-around douchebaggery just because I’m not as geeked out as other coffee lovers. I’ve been complaining about this very topic for the past couple weeks now because it’s so frustrating and aggravating and more often than not, my feelings genuinely get hurt by fellow coffee lovers. This morning, I tweeted “The smarminess of specialty coffee is almost enough to make me never drink coffee again,” and I meant it.

I agree with Chris here and am happy to see this piece posted on Spudge. I think that those of us who represent the “Third Wave” need to understand that folks who use the Keurig are most likely making a step up from canned Robusta blends in search of a better cup and should be recognized as potential subscribers to the methods and philosophies that we all live by. Why not create an educational experience for every pour over we make?

perhaps handing out trophies for brewing coffee is sending the wrong message. instead of rewarding the skill of brewing a cup of coffee, we should be rewarding the skill of showing someone how easy brewing coffee can be.

That’s one of the reasons I’m a huge fan of the Clever: it’s baffling simple to use. Its only problem is that it only makes one batch at a time and takes a bit longer to brew than a comparable Keurig.
