I have owned and ran Fables Bookshop in Grahamstown, South Africa, for
20 years now. I do try to ensure that we have reasonable coffee for the
staff and not just the lowest grade of instant on the supermarket shelf,

I enjoy some computer programming in Perl which frequently
causes excessive coffee consumption to concentrate my efforts. I look
forward to improving my home brew by roasting my own beans some time.
