Yesterday, my wonderful colleague Doris asked how we could double our coffee-roasting capacity. I was surprised—I didn’t realize we were selling out of coffee every week—but it turns out Richard’s Essentials has become our number one bestseller. And tucked inside each set is a tin of Medium Roast Coffee. We created the set because these are the six things I truly can’t live without: robust coffee, peppery olive oil, persimmon vinegar, California honey, jalapeño citrus salt—and, most importantly, a bottle of our spicy chili salsa macha oil (good on everything from toast to a fried egg). They’re the building blocks of a happy kitchen and a happy home. I’m so grateful to everyone who’s bought them—and I promise, we’re not going to run out of coffee. We’re good to the last drop.
