He was casually doing his work and moving along the hall when he noticed it - that smell. He started walking to find the source when he came upon it - we were brewing the coffee and it smelled like heaven. He inquired how much he had to pay for a cup but the church told the janitor that he was welcome to enjoy - no charge. He did enjoy and now he will forever be a coffee snob.
I talked with the janitor at the school where our church meets at length about the attributes of fresh coffee. Before I left he asked me if there was any coffee that he could buy. I sold him an extra bag (2 pots for him) and he gave me $3.50 in exchange. This is the sweetest $3.50 that I had earned to date because he was sold by the smell alone - the taste just sealed the deal.
I have been asked where I plan to find the "coffee snobs" but it appears that they will be finding me.

I heard that you converted him from adding sugar and cream to drinking it black and enjoying a good cup as it's meant to be enjoyed. :-)
