Beans, then the pour-ins · 3 min

Coffee is not dessert

Whole beans score like water. The bottled latte and the vanilla creamer do not. Sugar and hydrogenated oil turned a morning habit into a can of soda.

The keep

Coffee. Tea. Maybe milk. That’s the list. Organic or not barely moves the needle because there is nothing to hide.

Bottled Frappuccino, pink drinks, powder creamer with yellow dye. Open the coffee aisle, sort by score, and the pattern is rude and obvious.
