Hey folks! I launched a new thing since we last spoke… If you’re into startups, and you’re into coffee, have a look at my new store: STARTUP COFFEE
Sustainably grown, ethically-sourced, small batch, specialty coffee, roasted fresh when you order. Specialty coffee, especially for startup founders. The names may seem goofy, but if you’re into startups, you’ll understand: 👉 Minimum Viable Coffee 👉 Nights & Weekends 👉 Ramen Profitable 👉 Bootstrapped Blend 👉 Flow State And many more. 🤣 The names were voted on through this voting contest app I built using nothing but no-code tools, caffeine, and hubris. For the curious, here’s a more in-depth rundown of how I decided on the coffee names. On the site, I sell whole bean, freshly roasted coffee, t-shirts, and coffee brewing gear. All drop ship. All of this is an opportunity to learn how the world of Shopify works. Maybe along the way I’ll see ways I can help make things better with Shopify apps of my own. If nothing else, I feel as an entrepreneurially-minded person it’s important to find ways to experience new problems. 👉 Read on, because there’s a special, time-sensitive discount for Startup Coffee hidden somewhere in this email. 👀 Anyway… Here are some resources for you!

Why Pieter Levels is Unreachable and Maybe You Should Be Too
It’s almost impossible to reach Pieter Levels. That’s by design, and he’s been doing it that way for years. For Pieter, he believes it’s important to live an existence you’re proud of, with people you love, doing the things you like, while minimizing suffering. Simple. And for him, none of that involve being available for endless chit-chatting to billions of people in private messages. Everything from everyone all the time is too much.

If you’re making pour-over coffee, you already know that you’re gonna need a good gooseneck hot water kettle. I’ve made sure to stock what I feel is the best value-for-money kettle: Scout’s honor: I use one of these in my own kitchen a few times each week to make pour-over V60, Chemex, café phin, and AeroPress coffees. Plus, I find it’s really easy for my kids to use to make their own hot chocolate. Order one of these today! Free shipping over $50. Use discount code FRIDAYDISPATCH141 to save 10% off your order — but HURRY! This discount is good only if you order by 5/27 (Central time USA).
