If you stumbled & bumbled your way through the coffee shop line this morning, here's a must-read story (maybe wait until after the caffeine hits). My latest for HuffPost.

Raise a fork to National Apple Pie Day! 🍎 But hold the phone – we're not talking about your grandma's classic recipe. Did you know pie is the least consumed dessert in the industry (only 3%)? Yet, right here in Atlanta, we've got a rebellious twist on tradition that's defying the odds. Enter the World Famous Apple Cobbler Pie by Esco Eats. It's two desserts in one, a flavor explosion that's redefining what pie can be. What is should be 🤯. Why is this a big deal? Because it's the underdog story of the dessert world. We're the misfits, the rule-breakers, the ones who said, "Screw the statistics, we're gonna make pie our way...' AMAZING." And guess what? It's working. We're not just making pie, we're creating experiences. We're building a community of flavor rebels who crave something different, something better. So, on this National Apple Pie Day, we raise a toast (or a fork) to all the underdogs out there. The ones who dare to dream big, who challenge the status quo, and who prove that even the least popular dessert can become a legend. Cheers to flavor, rebellion, and the sweet taste of victory! 🥂

#Spottedinstore This novel Happy coffee packaging structure caught my attention, but didn't do much to convey reasons to buy or anything close to the flavor, richness, smoothness, etc. I am seeking in a coffee. Shelf Breakthrough is important for new products, but ultimately accomplishes nothing if the product doesn't generate category-specific understanding and appeal. A little google search tells me this product is the brain-child of Robert Downy Jr. and another investor in Method and Eos successes. Category matters and follows different sets of rules. My guess is the formula that worked in other categories won't work here. What do you think? #firstmomentoftruth #newproducts

Do you know about the coffee pot story? It goes something like this. People love coffee at the end of their meal. In a busy restaurant, a server, let's call him Bob, rushes to get some coffee for his customers. He nearly empties the coffee pot. Thinking about what the boss said, the customers are the most important thing; he puts the coffee pot down and rushes to his table. The next server, let's call her Suzy, is also in a rush. She is equally busy with equally important customers. She, too, needs fresh coffee for her important customers. But, she can't fulfill her mission because she has to wait three to five minutes for the new pot to finish brewing. Everything in business is a chain. Everyone plays a role in that chain. Don't be like Bob. Think of the next person down the chain. How can Bob achieve seemingly contradictory goals? Well, this time, it's Suzy. But next time, Bob may be the one faced with the empty pot. So, if everyone acts like Bob, all suffer. Making a coffee pot takes 30 to 45 seconds of setup and three to five minutes of idle time while the machine does its thing. If everyone takes less than 60 seconds in the moment, it saves everyone time and pain down the line. Have you been in Suzy's shoes? Photo by Skyler Smith on Unsplash

Coffee lovers, let's talk brew ratios! 🧠☕ As a roaster, I'm always fascinated by how small changes can make a big difference in our cup. Recently, I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried a 1:16 ratio instead of my usual 1:15. The result? A whole new perspective on flavor! What's your go-to brew ratio, and have you ever experimented with changing it up? Share your experiences below – I'd love to hear how you dial in your perfect cup! #CoffeeChat #BrewRatio #CoffeeExperiments
