I don't drink coffee, but this is one of my favorite newsletters! Your discussions about industries at large definitely transcend just the coffee industry and your essays are always incredibly thoughtful <3
Thank you for this read, Ashley! I'm a coffee drinker, but I want to be more intentional with how I engage with. I never thought about how I could do this, so I appreciate all the tips!
A great newsletter issue to start of the year. I no longer drink coffee but your points about keeping dollars as personal and local as possible are important everywhere.
Love your list. If Olympic National Park is one of your five this year, let me know.
Thank you for the impulses you share in this article and the context you constantly give to coffee, workers' rights and community. Looking forward to continuing to support local roasters and find ways in 2023 to get closer to producers, too! One bag of coffee at a time.
Also, as no stranger to startups, I appreciate the way in which you challenge the notion of "disruption" and remind us to ask who a shake up intends to serve... if anyone and what we stand to lose by an overhaul of an existing market, especially if context isn't understood by the disruptors themselves.
I've been trying to get closer to my coffee for a while and your suggestions are helpful! I loved your winter goals, #5 is something I always do and I'm also trying to get back to the habit of reading, including catching up with your newsletter that I haven't had time to read since August. I'm feeling really good about the additional time I got after a big purge on my Instagram feed ;-)

I really enjoyed your example of Uber/Lyft as a cautionary tale for the consequences of disruption. Great read!

You might deeply appreciate my friend Ian Goodman's efforts to "stay close to the coffee." https://www.goodmancoffeeroasters.com/about
He has some of the very best coffee I've had in my life. (And that's saying something.)
Happy New Year, Ashley! I just read your piece on pour over “bloom” on Serious Eats -terrific!
