Hello, coffee aficionados! As the Arizona sun continues to shine brightly, we're here to bring you the latest buzz from the coffee world, sprinkle in some lighthearted tales, and keep you updated on what's brewing in our beloved state. Before we dive in, let us first apologize for skipping last week. For those who read about, we moved locations and was just a generally long week and weekend. Top that with your fantastic orders, we were just too busy to think of cool stuff to write about. That being said, lets go ahead and dive in.

🌞 Arizona's Buzz

😂 Coffee Chronicles: Laughter in Every Sip

The Lid Saga

A customer once ordered a hot drink, took it to the counter, and proceeded to pour it over herself. She then claimed the lid wasn't properly secured and sued the store. The store policy was updated to place the lid next to the cup for customers to apply themselves. Months later, the same customer returned and, upon receiving a cup with the lid on the side, remarked, "What, you're too lazy to put the lid on to customer’s cups?" It's a humorous reminder of the unexpected situations baristas sometimes face.notalwaysright.com
