“WE PRINT GOOD STUFF ABOUT COFFEE.” FROM THE EDITORS

last season of the year and as the tempo of life starts to slow down it feels
only natural to take this moment and reflect on all that we’ve experienced these
past 12 months. 2021 was the year after a year of change. For ages, humans
have learned to adapt to our surroundings in order to move forward after we

encounter events that disrupt normalcy. We’re social beings, and when this
happens, we often find solace first within our communities. When we feel safe,
we thrive. In this way, our species acquired the skill to create meaningful friend-

speak, and more. In this issue, we discuss the numerous ways in which coffee,
tea and ice cream provide moments of connection with the world around us.

dustry accepts people of varying coffee knowledge levels (whether you’re a
