How does one indoctrinate a childโlike, say an eight month-old that refuses to nap and let me write this article–into the cult of coffee before they are able to drink caffeine? And how does an adult chill out with a glass of wine after a busy bar shift and just shut their brain off for a bit? In 2017, the answer to both is one in the same: a coloring book. Now on Kickstarter, The Craft Coffee Coloring Book is the perfect way to bliss out with a few crayons and colorable pictures of some of your favorite coffee gear.
Created by Sacramento, California-based artist and designer Ryan Morris, The Craft Coffee Coloring Book is hand illustrated and โtakes you along for the international journey of your morning cup,โ all in beautiful Technicolor (Technicolor provided by user). Starting at origin, the coloring book features illustrations of coffee plants, harvesting, processing, etc., with descriptions for each image written by Morris.
It then follows the coffeeโs seed-to-cup journey to the roasterโwith a depiction of a Probatโand then to the cafe, where a Slayer and a Mahlkรถnig EK43 are waiting to receive their color pops. Thereโs probably a barista or two in there as well.
A copy of The Craft Coffee Coloring Book can be ordered through backing the Kickstarter to the tune of $18 or two for $24. Assuming it reaches its funding goal, of course. At the time of writing this–with 21 days remaining–the Kickstarter needs just a hair under $3,000 of its $3,000 goal, so thereโs still work to be done before it sees the light of day.
For more information on The Craft Coffee Coloring Book, visit their Kickstarter page. I really need this, yโall. This goober wonโt go to sleep and thereโs coffee news that needs publishing.
