A quick look at the numbers below and you’ll wonder, “How does Russell know this much about us?” I may be a coffee expert, but more importantly I’m a people person. Not surprisingly, I’ve had long conversations with many of you. Not only do we talk coffee, but we also talk about many other subjects, ranging from politics to faith, from history to technology, from family to business.

Most of you are 50+, conservative, Christians
55% of you order Majestic Medium, 40% Delectable Dark, 3% Decaf, and 2% White Lightning
On the average, you buy 3-4 bags of coffee every 4-6 weeks
About half of your brew your coffee using a drip machine. Most of the rest of you use an Aeropress, French Press, or Cold Brew
Almost all of you use a burr grinder
Most of you store your coffee in the original tin-tie bag
