Yes! I āhave toā (love to) try every coffee we offer. Every time i train someone, and every time i complete another course in the coffee master program, I have to conduct a coffee tasting with my store manager or district manager. It has to be a pairing of coffee and food that compliments the flavor profile of the coffee. I canāt have much from the offerings but i did a coffee tasting with the salted caramel chocolate almonds to pair with the Guatemala reserve brewed in a French press (cafetiere) because it has chocolate notes. And the only press we have in the store is a 4 cup server, and it was just my store manager and I and she only took a sample cup size (4oz) so i drank the rest 
because itās one of my favorite roasts at my location

Haha i played with the kids after work, took them shopping, and to the park and went on a walk ā¦ i think the coffee has worn off now. Iāll be heading to bed in a little bit. Just gotta grab something to eat first. And Iāll be out like a light. Hopefully
