"COFFEE SNOB!"


Probably, and also a beer and wine snob as well. After drinking leg-lifter
lagers and beer imitations for the first half of my life, I learned to drink
*real* beers--ya know, those with complex flavors and substance. Same with
wine--not interested in Two-buck Chuck, Yellowtail, and other such pop wines
anymore. And the same goes for coffee.

You probably are satisfied to open a can of Hills Brothers and brew up a pot
of weak coffee. That's fine--most people are in your camp on that. But if
you ever tried a properly-brewed pot of a superior coffee, just ground from
beans and dripped to perfection, I have no doubt we'd make a convert of you,
Thom. If you're ever in the great lakes in the summer, let me know. We'll
go sailing, but not until we've started the day with what just might be the
best cup of coffee you've ever had.
