coffee
in february 2025, i began reducing my caffeine intake and that included slimming down on coffee. while my boyfriend absolutely still drinks our monthly shipment, i typically no longer have coffee. this table marks the types of coffee included in our monthly coffee club (referral link) that sends us single-origin coffee every month from producers all over the world. every now and then, i do love an espresso after dinner. with our coffee club, all of these were made in an espresso machine with a couple of sugar cubes.

before this, i had never really been into coffee until i met my boyfriend, a seattle-raised coffee aficionado. when we went to italy in 2023, i was introduced to the art of good coffee (with a good cigarette), and i haven't been the same.
