Do you care if the person who makes your coffee feels motivated?

I do. Because I can taste the difference.

For example, if they agree to serve me a Chemex in any size cup, I simply leave.  A Chemex recipe must be tuned to a specific amount of water, and real baristas know that.

Unmotivated folks like gas station attendants or truck stop waitresses believe that COFFEE = WATER + GROUNDS.
Real barista’s know time, skill and love are needed to make great coffee.

I have high standards for coffee.
What do you have high standards for?
