I began this day by grinding coffee beans for a French Press. The Yeimini Coffee I ordered arrived as whole beans. I didn’t expect that, but I did grind to accommodate a French Press, which wants rough grinds. To me, the rougher grounds seemed easier to press.
The output was a surprise, weaker than I expected. I’m accustomed to strong-tasting coffee and like that, but regardless, this regional coffee is smooth and drinkable. To its credit, and as its bag suggests, I found that a cup without cream offers distinctive flavors and hints of flowers. I will learn to adjust bean strengths to my preference.
I discovered this coffee by searching online for a consensus of “best coffee” and found an answer—that from Yeimini (coffee’s historical birthplace). Today, while sipping and assessing this coffee, I couldn’t help but reflect on the internet and the potential of AI.
I’d never even dreamed of having a pound of coffee beans from the Middle East. Ordering one suggested my widening perspective. It’s because of continual access to online information in general and pointed learning from AI. Those available flows are similarly affecting many individuals. More widely, they are revolutionizing communications, connecting people across geographical boundaries, and fostering global communities.
Dear Friends: This thread began while sipping coffee and fiddling with the internet. Diana
