They say "Little learning is dangerous." With me, little experience and little exposure are equally hazardous. Ever since my son Andre doing his barista skills in our kitchen with a variety of coffee beans, I’ve been a bit critical when offered a cup outside my home. Like when visiting clients or kings and queens in their palaces, I get coffee offers. In my mind, I’d ask, "Single origin or blend?" "Cold-pressed or espresso?" "Americano or Flat White?" I feel so coffee-learned, so coffee-cultured. But that’s just in my mind. I’d usually say, "Just black, pls." Because otherwise, I’d get five-in-one, all-in, where five is sugar and one is anything but coffee. Arnibal, actually.

But I do take pleasure in this -for me, novelty. Like golf, web design and Hangeul -never too late to learn, to experience, to bleed, to agonize. Yet, to enjoy.
