    The hot air gun is an interesting choice. I wonder if you can prepare other foods and beverages with one.

    Coffee is much more complex than I thought. Good thing I’m not fussy!

    People always looked at me funny when they found out I stored coffee beans in the fridge. Sweet vindication!

    I agree with TeamTimmy. If I can grab a hot cup of joe in the morning, I’m thankful, whatever its contents might be.
