Coffee Talk

Gas station coffee.

Still not a phrase that evokes wonder, joy.

But thanks to a Seattle-based coffee vendor, even gas stations have elevated their coffee game from the double carafe system that produced something closer to what you’d put in your engine vs. your intestinal tract.

The bar is raised, game elevated.

And while I’m not personally enamored with the accessibility of over-engineered coffee drinks, I do appreciate that it’s meant that coffee everywhere has gotten better.

Or at least better tasting.

But even the coffee giants have new problems, because it’s not about the hurdle you cleared, it’s about the next one.

And there’s always a next one.

Or so I’ve been told.

Some days I think we’d be better served if we just stepped off the track for a while.

Stopped trying to jump over so many things.

And just let the world go by.

For a moment. Or a lot of them.
