Every now and then I ask myself and the people around me (although usually not many are listening) the following question: “If you could only drink one coffee origin for the rest of your life.

No matter how shitty your grinder is or how bad your water is or how dodgy your brewing device is. Even if you don’t have a timer or even a water boiler. Kenya will always taste good.
