Hey,
I don’t remember when I had my first cup of coffee but I do remember coffee ice cream has been my favorite flavor since I was a kid.
I also remember realizing I liked coffee as a child at my grandparents’ house when I had a cup with my grandfather the way he took it – with evaporated milk and sugar in it. Suddenly it was like hot coffee ice cream! In the 90s I spent a lot of time in Manhattan, consulting for Fortune 10 companies and working from coffee shops. I loved the vibe, the energy, and – of course – the coffee. So in 2010 I decided to open my own coffee shop!
That was a mistake. Well, maybe not the idea, but it was a classic instance of coming up with a product and not market for it. Wrong time, wrong place. So I closed the shop, stopped funneling tons of money into it, and moved to Boston.
Since then I have traveled the world. I won’t say I did so “in search of the best cup of coffee,” but while I travel, I certainly do look for the best cup of coffee I can find so I can tell you about it here. I hope you enjoy your next cup as much as I do.
–Peter
