There's a legend that somewhere out there, walking around, living their life, is a person who looks exactly like you. Same face, same hair, probably even the same resting "leave me alone" expression. Scientists call it a doppelgänger. Conspiracy theorists call it proof of something far weirder. But honestly, the real doppelgänger story happens every single morning in your bathroom mirror.

You know the one. That confused, hollow-eyed creature staring back at you before the first cup hits. That thing is not you. That is some kind of imposter wearing your face, blinking slowly, and questioning whether pants are truly necessary today. It shuffles around making strange noises, bumping into corners, and communicating entirely through grunts.

Then something magical happens.

The kettle boils. The beans get ground. The smell alone starts doing the heavy lifting. And somewhere between the first sip and the bottom of the mug, the real you shows back up. Focused. Coherent. Mildly delightful. The doppelgänger vanishes and you are back in the building.

Coffee does not just wake you up. It returns you to yourself. There is something almost spiritual about that, and also something worth talking about a lot more than people do.

Roaster Notes

Hasbeans (​https://hasbeans.ca/​ )

London, Onario

In their own words: “Hasbeans has been roasting and shipping fresh, specialty-grade, gourmet coffee across Canada since 1969, and successfully, consistently delivers the optimal freshness and remarkable taste that help turn first-time drinkers into lifelong fans.

As one of the first of its kind, committed to responsible sourcing and fair trade, Hasbeans has an even longer history than some of our much-loved coffee-of-convenience drivethru cafés. However, rather than chasing expansionism, the Hasbeans family believes in keeping the keeping the business small and personal in order to maintain the highest standards of taste, quality, and service. A true coffee lover’s delight.”
