I love coffee. I roast coffee. I brew coffee in many different ways. I love my job, probably way more than other people (besides the ones in the coffee industry). But the main reason why I love coffee so much, is because it changes, all the time. You can roast a coffee at five different roasts, brew it five different ways, and get so many new flavors from each of those brews. You can play around with an origin of coffee, and produce so many different tastes, mouth feels, aromas, and so on. It is just fantastic. I love my job a lot. thats the short of it. When your only sixteen and are roasting coffee for a company, making your own schedule almost, and going through school, it can be a handful, but I love the challenge. Being my first, and my only job for the rest of my life hopefully, means that I basically have the best opportunity out of my age group. I get to start doing something i love at such a young age, and I'm thankful for it. I could be pushing carts at a grocery store, but instead I'm spending hours researching the new coffee we just got in, or perfecting roasts. All in all, coffee is, and will always be, my first love.
