Years ago my only exposure to coffee was through Dunkin and Starbucks. In 2021 I splurged on a breville bambino plus and grinder to try making my own because regularly purchasing from either was too costly.

I don’t consider myself a coffee snob either (the shots I pull probably taste like shit to anyone who knows better) but I’ve learned to make a latte that tastes good to me! Since then I’ve been given Starbucks gift cards around the holidays, and damn - they’re almost painful to use but have their place in an emergency. It’s totally the thought that counts.

Hey, I live in the Chicago burbs and can tell you that I was at Lou’s picking up my pizza at the same time the shooter was ordering his at the counter, so it couldn’t have been him.

You chew them? I thought you had to suck on them. 🤔
