- Types of Beans: Ethiopian, Colombian, Costa Rican, Brazilian, Kenyan
- Brewing Methods: French Press, Pour Over, Cold Brew, Espresso
Reward Yourself
Rewarding yourself when you reach milestones in your transition can help keep you motivated and on track. For example, treat yourself to a new coffee maker when you’ve gone a month without adding sweeteners to your coffee.
Making the switch to black coffee isn’t easy, but with dedication and persistence you can make it happen! Try utilizing these tips and you’ll be ready to make the transition!
