Most of us love coffee, aren't we?
For what it's worth. This theme was originally made for my tiny coffee business that I work on myself. But things have to shifted in last two years, as coffee prices hikes due to shortages induced by climate change. I open my github sponsor if you'd love to help me. I would appreciate it too if you saved your morning brew by supporting your local coffee shop. That's maybe one of the small ethical revolutions we can do everyday if addressing our planet's issues can't be done in couple of earth's revolutions. I hope this will help you recognise.
Keep brewing! :)
