It surprised me a bit that Starbucks didn't stop for a moment to honor the fella that pretty much gave them their roast. Alfred Peet. For those that don't know... Peet was the one who mentored the three Starbucks founders (and some Starbucks roasters). I'm sure he gave them a few tips on buying coffee as well...
It's time we honor the man that taught the folks that taught us about the "special" in specialty coffee.
Thanks Mr. Peet... I'll be drinking your coffee all day.
We'll see you Monday for your usual...
Pat Nerr...
