the man the myth the blue bottle legend
It’s Atlantic Christmas over here, because **Hamilton voice** Alexis Madrigal is coming ho-o-ome! So here’s three of my personal faves of his work, just to catch you up/onboard you pronto to the Alexis Fandom Bandwagon:
The Future of Iced Coffee - You, like 2014 me, might still be barely a coffee drinker (somehow??), but I guarantee you’ll want to chug Blue Bottle after Madrigal basically made the case for it being God’s own sweet nectar of choice.
Email Is Still the Best Thing on the Internet - No one really talked tech like Madrigal did back in 2014, and it’s classic pieces like these that has really shaped not only The Atlantic’s tech coverage, but also much of the hot-takes-o-sphere.
Where Restaurant Reservations Come From - Another classique Atlantic take on the fascinating history behind the normal to moderately pain-in-the-ass nuances of modern day living.
Send me your faves!!
Like Deez Links? Forward to Alexis but maybe tone down my creepiness first.
