    I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such frustrating experiences with coffee. I wonder if my experience could help you in navigating your experience.

    When I order coffee I always see how they do it.

    I don’t do it to complain. In fact, even if they get my order wrong I rarely ask for a change, because whatever they give me is usually alright.

    I see how they do it because I’m curious. I like to know what their process is like. I like to know what machines they use. I like to know how they organize work in the coffee shop. I like to see their technique.

    Because of this curiosity, I usually understand quite well why my coffee ends up the way it does.

    Yes, I am a customer. Yes, I could insist that my drink has to be different. But I prefer to accept that life is unpredictable and that we are all human. And it’s usually alright.

    Here’s a video that could help: https://youtu.be/OXbQx2hfA5k

      Life is alright if you accept entropy as a natural part of it.

      It’s not rolling with the punches, it’s being happy with life making itself less monotonous.

      I once accidentally got served an iced latte with macadamia nut milk instead of cow milk and discovered that I really like it.
