  • You’d be surprised at how a lot of people function in a society. People taking up college majors without knowing about these studies. People getting expensive fashion items because their friends wear them. Some people even have kids just because they’re told to.

    Back to the coffee analogy, I’m sure you’d try the artisanal stuff when your friend have it served to your face. When you know ‘what you’re supposed to get’, you may face uncertainty, especially with the fact you may have to go out of your way to get it. Perhaps you’d try it out and actually like it. Perhaps you’d still prefer your Nescafé as that complexion doesn’t suit you and you’re more familiar with that basic miserable taste.


  • Imagine this:

    You’ve been living off Nescafé your whole life, and your friend told you there’s a whole world of artisanal types coffee out there. Your friend told you to try single origin – robusta or arabica – from Brazil, Columbia, Indonesia, Etiopia, and other regions, each with its own characteristics, whatever your palate prefer.

    When you ran out of coffee, you went to the store. All that choices overwhelm you. Your friend was busy that day, and all you were told was just to pick whatever you like. At the same time, your body’s already craving some caffeine, and you just need something for that. Well, there’s that Nescafé you’re already familiar with. So you just went with what you already know and love. After all, you don’t know if you’re gonna like what your friend recommended.
