Why we do this

The coffee isn't the point — it's the handshake. Five minutes with a cup of coffee is enough time to read a story written by someone who actually lived it, not someone paid to have an opinion about it.

A few things people ask

Is the coffee really free? Yes — your redemption code covers a drink at any participating café, no purchase required.
What do I get after signing up? A Monday newsletter built around real people's stories, plus a Friday rewards update tracking your points.
What are points for? Submissions, replies, and referrals earn points toward merch, early access, and member events.
Do I have to use the SMS option? No — text and web signup lead to the same account. Use whichever is easier in the moment.
