"I recall starting my day with a pour-over ritual using General Warfield’s Coffee that became—and still is—my peaceful morning meditation. I'm still just as amazed and excited when I start the pour-over process and see a nice fresh bloom form. It takes me back in time when I had my first cup of specialty grade coffee while in Mauritius speaking to and meeting someone for the first time. Years later, she is now my wife. By brewing coffee every morning, I found a moment of serenity before the hustle of the day began. Now I get to do it with my partner. We never miss our cup of joe together before we venture out for the day." - John M
