I was taken by the power that savoring a simple cup of coffee can have to connect people and create community.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think people become reliant on coffee. And that can't necessarily be a good thing.
You can't have a decent food culture without a decent coffee culture: the two things grow up together.
Community through food is my mission; it is what I do.
You don't need coffee. Nobody needs coffee. You can get along without it.
You don't even really need a place. But you feel like you're doing something. That is what coffee is. And that is one of the geniuses of the new coffee culture.
I've traveled quite a lot and become a coffee nut.
I don't know how people live without coffee, I really don't.
I force people to have coffee with me, just because I don't trust that a friendship can be maintained without any other senses besides a computer or cellphone screen.
The only projects that excite me have to be tied to some aspect of social change. No matter how beautiful, a coffee book doesn't exactly move you to change the way you cook or eat.
No one among us suffers the radical appreciation for coffee that I do. It calls to me, but I have learned not to listen.
