Hello Folks!

I wanted to see if anyone has some recommendations for roasters like S&W, Good Brothers, etc. that do not advertise a ton, not uber expensive and are tasty. I don't mind paying premium, but also want options to try smaller roasters with different approaches and care.

Outside of the two roasters I've mentioned, I have tried others like Red Rooster, Color, Savage, Intelligentsia, Onyx, Second Spin, Memli, Rouge Wave.

I should probably go to Dayglow in Chicago, but I'm in the burbs, and not always easy to plan a trip, but they do have good selection.

Just looking for something new, not yet super popular, although I would try SEY, Hydgrangea, Luminus, etc.

Thanks

Hello World! Weird to be asking this here but here goes...

My X gave me a number of a woman who is much younger (I am 46, the woman is mid twenties) I know I know...

But! Assuming I can handle rejection, how do I even text that person to start a conversation? I am learning to step outside of my comfort zone and this would be a great test. I suck at starting conversations even when I match on Hinge or other sites, but my X is a friend and she roots for me therefore she provided some help.

Again, not about the age difference here, but being able to give it a go and learn.

Appreciate your insights. Thanks 🙏🏻
