So, you could not use this product to scrape paint off of your walls. It's too dangerous for that, but to throw into some coffee beans to get rid of caffeine? No problem. That sounds like a good application for this thing.” – Matt Regusci“Somebody said to me the other day, ‘I just drink black [coffee].’ Okay, well, you stick to your black. You don't want anything interesting or different in your life. That's wonderful. Don't go out on a limb and have any risk because you might like something different.” – Francine L ShawWe hope you enjoy this episode!Remember to subscribe, rate, and review the podcast on your favorite podcast platform.
