I know very little about coffee but I do enjoy it greatly. Until this event I never realized just what goes into making a great cup of coffee. The people at gimme!coffee are artist who pride themselves on their coffee and judging from the samples I had they are doing a fantastic job. I did attend the event a bit late so I missed some important facts but the main thing that stuck out to me was the sheer amount joy that radiated from their words. I’m always impressed when someone truly loves what they are doing but these guys did what I thought was impossible and actually made me excited to hear about coffee. My curiosity has been peaked and now I feel the need to know even more about what makes coffee great.
A while ago I went to the gimme! coffee store in Brooklyn (on 5th or 6th street I believe) and I remember thinking that I’ll probably never buy coffee from this shop again. Why? Because I usually drink coffee when I’m in a rush and need to wake up, the coffee these guys make deserves to be enjoyed. I highly recommend stopping by one of their shops when you have some free time and simply enjoy your coffee for once. Then stop by a gas station, pick up another cup of coffee and I guarantee that you’ll realize the difference between good and great coffee.
I’ve never tried their coffee but based on your experience I probably should.
I LOVE gimme! coffee. I’m pretty sure they recognize me at the Gates Hall location since I go there about every other day. I wish I could have attended the tasting, sounds like I would have loved it. I recommend the caramel latte for anyone who wants to try anything from gimme! It’s definitely a nice treat yourself kind of thing after weeks of tough prelims.
Hey Clarence!
I remember thinking the same thing about how excited they were about coffee. One day I hope that I am that passionate about my job because it was easy to see that they really love what they do. I also feel like I’ll probably never have their coffee again. Maybe I’ll try to stop by Gates and try some.
