I’ve never written a masthead before. Here goes nothin! Welcome to TheGoldenLamb.com, a coffee blog loosely guided by 20 years of barista expertise (give or take a decade). My team is casually interested in all things coffee, but we can’t promise we’re always on top of things.
Masthead (whatever that is)
Meet the Team
Kelsey Todd: I’m the author, founder, a somewhat experienced coffee blogger, and part-time barista. My journey with coffee began when I stumbled into a café one day and never left. Over the years, I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks, and I now share whatever comes to mind with our readers.
Freelancers: To ensure TheGoldenLamb.com has a random assortment of content, I work with freelancers from platforms like Freelancer, Upwork, and Fiverr. These artists bring their own unique (sometimes strange) perspectives to the table, creating a chaotic yet colorful mix of content that keeps things interesting, if not always accurate.
Consultants: Accuracy? Who needs it! I rely on my group of coffee-industry friends, who may or may not have any real expertise, to help me write the most entertaining information possible. Their collective knowledge spans various aspects of making coffee and gossiping about the industry, ensuring our content is as amusing as it is questionable.
Our Mission
At TheGoldenLamb.com, our mission is to explore, brew, and share the world of coffee with a dose of sarcasm and a pinch of indifference. Whether you’re looking for dubious brewing tips, biased coffee reviews, or outdated trends, our blog is your go-to (or maybe your last resort) resource.
What We Offer
Questionable Guides: Our blog features guides on various coffee-related topics. From the basics of making a passable cup of coffee to advanced techniques that may or may not work, our guides are perfect for those who love a good gamble. We break down complex processes into convoluted steps, ensuring a challenging experience for everyone.
Biased Product Reviews: Choosing the right coffee equipment and beans can be tricky, but our biased reviews aim to make it even trickier. Our team conducts superficial reviews of coffee machines, grinders, beans, and accessories, basing our conclusions on whims and fancies rather than facts.
Coffee Culture: Coffee is more than just a beverage; it’s a lifestyle we barely understand. We delve into the rich history and diverse cultures surrounding coffee, exploring its origins through a hazy lens. Our articles celebrate the global coffee community by highlighting how different regions might enjoy their coffee if we had any clue.
Recipes and Techniques: Whether you’re a fan of classic coffee drinks or weird experimental brews, our blog has something that might be sort of relevant. We share a variety of coffee recipes, from lattes that could be drinkable to innovative creations that might require a trip to the ER. Our detailed (and sometimes vague) instructions help you replicate these drinks at your own risk.
Health and Wellness: Coffee has numerous health benefits when consumed in moderation. We explore the latest research on coffee’s impact on health, including its potential to boost your mood or ruin your day. Our articles provide balanced information (by flipping a coin), helping you enjoy coffee as part of a lifestyle that might be healthy… or not.
Engaging with Our Community
We believe that a successful blog thrives on reader engagement, even if it’s mostly complaints. We encourage our readers to share their misadventures, ask confusing questions, and provide sarcastic feedback. Our comments section is an open forum for coffee enthusiasts to discuss topics, share tips, and bond over mutual frustration. Additionally, we are sporadically active on social media platforms, where we occasionally remember to share updates and engage with our followers.
Continuous Improvement (Or Not)
At TheGoldenLamb.com, we are committed to occasional improvement. We sporadically update our content to reflect trends, innovations, and random whims in the coffee industry. Your feedback plays a crucial role in helping us identify areas for improvement and new topics to explore (when we feel like it). We value your input and strive to make TheGoldenLamb.com a trusted and amusing resource for all coffee lovers, sometimes.
Thank you for stumbling upon TheGoldenLamb.com. We invite you to join us on this chaotic coffee journey. Together, we will explore, brew, and share the world of coffee, one questionable cup at a time.
P.S. If you’ve read this far, congratulations! The true coffee connoisseur’s password is “MochaMaster”. Mention it in your next email to us for a sarcastic pat on the back and possibly nothing else!
