The first batch of coffee beans in the year of the Dragon have become special things in the cup of friends.

On January 29, the year of the Dragon was baked for the first time. Due to the Spring Festival, many friends ran out of food. Finally, the express delivery started, and the stove of private coffee also turned. Now these beans have been put into friends' cups one after another.

[John's own rations are naturally in the bottle for the first batch of beans in the year of the Dragon]

The Taobao shop of John's private coffee has been going on for a whole year, and I don't know how to locate it. Many friends say that it is necessary to talk about business in business, but I am still somewhat reluctant, because after all, this is not what I eat for a living, and I do not want to rely on coffee to eat. I do not want to put a yoke or burden on coffee. I like it because I like it. I don't want it to be another job besides work. I like to sit in my "coffee shop" and look out at the setting sun. I like the drumming fragrance of roasting. I like to trace the origin of each bean. I like many coffee lovers to ask for information and production skills about all kinds of coffee, but I don't want to put too heavy a chain on these things. I don't want to be a burden.

The afterglow on the eve of John's private house coffee window, this scene can not be seen in many rooms in Beijing.

From falling in love with the petty bourgeoisie atmosphere of drinking coffee, to wanting to make a cup of coffee that I am satisfied with, to the novel experience of being infatuated with various utensils, to being obsessed with the coffee bean itself and the baking process, I embarked on this obsessive path. Coffee takes up most of my time and energy outside of work, but in any case, coffee should be and must be a source of happiness for me. Instead of a burden in my life, naturally, I also want coffee to bring more happiness to the friends around me. Our lives should be happier because of coffee, coffee making, coffee tasting and coffee roasting, rather than adding entanglements and melancholy, burdens and troubles.

After I wrote the article "the year of the Dragon, John continues to dream of a cafe", many people asked me, Why don't you open a shop? In fact, the reason is very simple, because I did not want to open a shop in the past, at least at this stage, I do not want to, my current state, there is nothing dissatisfied with me, what I like is not the feeling of opening a shop, what I like is coffee. What I like is the affection of sitting in the store, not the hustle and bustle of opening a shop. My job has already met my needs in this respect. What I am looking for in coffee is a kind of relaxation. Friends who know me know that I complain about the pressure and busyness of my work all the time, but I have never been dissatisfied and never wavered. I believe that if I give up my current job and change it to coffee, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

But on the other hand, like everyone who longs for petty bourgeoisie in my heart, I want to have a cafe of my own, which can be small, but cozy. Under the guidance of this thought, there is John's private coffee, this small cafe in my heart. Here is everything that satisfies my dream, this is my private coffee, a dream, a dream that has become a reality for me.

Finally, here, in the place where the dream of the year of the Dragon starts, I would like to thank all the people mentioned below who have helped me realize my dream.

Old Wei, Huang Wei, Lee Bu-Young from Beijing, Liu Milong, Tan Guoqing, Li Tao from Guangzhou, Yuan Huiguo from Shanghai, Mr. Shao from Jinan, Shandong, and TT, clumsy hands we have never met. Thank you for your guidance and help.

Thank you for the companionship of Dr. Xiaoyin, Xiao Si, Rorty, Ah Liang, linken kit, Lao Huang, LoneCoffee and so on. Many sleepless nights are spent talking about the past.

I would also like to thank Sister Zhou, Gao Jun, Bagan, vivian, Li Ning and other friends. We know each other because of coffee, and now we are not only friends, but also friends.

Of all the people, I should be most grateful to my family and my lover, who have lost a lot and sacrificed a lot because I am looking for a dream. Thank you very much.

I harvested coffee, friends and happiness, this is perhaps the most precious thing I harvested, and finally I harvested my John private coffee, a starting point of my exquisite life, a square inch of space to create happiness for everyone.
