☕ Mister Coffee ☕ A Semi-Sweet Coffee Recipe by TBD Liquids
Description
# Good Morning, Mister Coffee!
So this was a brand new coffee recipe Tom and I were secretly working on for about 6 months. We initially started working on it because we were finding a particular flavoring for our Starbuck recipe was becoming harder and harder to source. I knew it was only a matter of time that we would probably have to retire Starbuck. It also wasn't the most popular flavor because I made it for myself and I made a caramel frappuccino instead of a traditional semi-sweet coffee. I think a lot of people were turned off by the cooling & the sweetness, some people loved it and still ordered it from us until the day we closed, but most people seemed to overwhelmingly prefer Mister Coffee.
So when I decided to start working on a new coffee flavor, I roped Tom in because he had different tastes than me. He was always better with the flavors that I just didn't much enjoy myself. Taste is a funny thing, everyone's really is different. Knowing and understanding that was really allowed TBD to flourish. A lot of you have asked me over the years how we always came out with good flavors, and it was really just a blend of luck & incorporating a lot of different tastes into the creation of every recipe. We trialed them a lot, if it wasn't something that a good portion of the team was vaping as an ADV we would go back to the drawing board. Sometimes it was difficult telling Tom or another one of the employees that the recipe they were working on just wasn't "there" yet. It was also hard for me to accept criticism from others when I loved something and they weren't jiving with it. I think that pushing each other to do better was what made our releases so successful in our later years. The mystery flavor really was a great way for us to try things out en-masse so if something wasn't getting the right feedback we would have the opportunity to scrap it or change it up before releasing it as a standalone flavor. I'm surprised that we never really had to pull something entirely, but we did rework a few of our recipes before releasing them as a standalone flavor. Sometimes we'd tinker with them as we sent out batches, and when positive feedback started flooding in, that's when we knew we'd hit the mark.
Mister Coffee was kind of different though, we weren't able to trial this one as a mystery flavor because coffee really is a polarizing flavor. Not everyone enjoys coffee so much that they want to vape it all day. Also it wouldn't be a great "mystery" because everyone would just be like "it's coffee!", boom mystery solved! That's no fun. It was the same with Fresh Mint, couldn't trial that one, too polarizing and obvious. I guess I was really nervous about Mister Coffee because it wasn't a flavor that I worked on much myself, it was one that I trusted Tom with. I encouraged him to reach out to people ordering Starbuck from us and collecting feedback directly from them. I'm sure he was probably frustrated with my perfectionism, but he did get some great feedback and he was able to take that and was able to try some new ideas that really brought the flavor to the next level.
This recipe is really special to me because it was one of the only recipes of ours that I had to fully trust someone else on. Our goal was to create a flavor that both coffee-lovers and coffee-likers could enjoy and I think my best bud knocked it of the park. So for the last time, say hello to Mister Coffee, he's happy to be here!
