I received some coffee from France over Christmas. Initially I have to admit that I was unimpressed despite the gift being entirely appropriate and being superlatively labeled: Suprêmo d Arabica grand cru d'exception. (by Malongo)
However, I have recently started on the gear and it is utterly fantastic. It made me think of Fruit Chan's Dumplings for some reason. Here is this hard to get expensive stuff that you just have to have more of.
I guess coffee isn't as morally ambigious as those particular dumplings, at least not always. This new gear comes at a good time since it turns out Lavazza uses beans that are grown illegally on protected land in Indonesia further threatening endangered species, no more of that for me.
Unfortunately the only reason that coffee tastes so good is that it includes no less than 5% pure endangered species.
Surprise surprise Nestle was in on that cheap ass illegal tiger balls coffee. "oh, oopsy, we got caught, now we better put up a show of tidying up our supply chain. We never knew where that coffee was coming from"

I considered postulating that the content might include some ingredient on par with the aforementioned dumplings. I might have then stated that I didn't care if it had such content because the olfactory experience was worth more than any paltry, long forsaken, moral code.

Moral codes do not taste good do they?
