On the spectrum of coffee geekdom, I fall somewhere in the middle. I own a Chemex, but it's still in the box. I grind my beans manually, but my water-to-coffee ratio is pure chaos. I still can’t tell a dark roast from a medium roast, but I do (secretly, unfairly?) dunk on my parents for their unwavering loyalty to Folgers drip coffee (which tastes like a hot cup of heartburn to me). A subscription that lets me expand my coffee horizons without having to think about it too much is just my speed. Which is why, when I first heard about Trade coffee, I perked right up.
