After starting out as a vehicle to sell approachable $1 cups of coffee and Roy Choi\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.welocol.com\/\">LocoL<\/a>, Konecny and Ali have retooled Yes Plz and are bringing it to the not-just-LA-based public at large.<\/p>\n<p>According to their Kickstarter campaign, Yes Plz only serves one coffee, The Mix, \u201can ever-evolving no-holds-barred, no-corners-cut blend of the best sourced beans, roasted with care, and delivered fresh to your door.\u201d As with the coffee at LocoL, the goal of Yes Plz is to \u201creach a broader audience beyond the exclusionary, validation-seeking culinary burlesque that characterizes a lot of today\u2019s high-end coffee bars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mix is based on \u201cthe simultaneously heretical-sounding yet obvious-seeming idea that there\u2019s almost no single origin coffee that couldn\u2019t be made even better with a judicious bit of blending,\u201d a piping hot take printed on the backs of their prototype bags sent out to \u201cfriends and beta testers\u201d that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BihojTrjZSt\/?taken-by=sprudge\">had people sounding off on the Sprudge Instagram<\/a>. This March 26th\u00a0release of The Mix was a blend of Guatemala Rio Dorado, Colombia Los Rosales, and a Maragogype from Nicaragua La Montanita.<\/p>\n<p>The Mix is slated to retail for $15 a bag, with Kickstarter pledges starting as low as $20, which will earn you the debut release of The Mix, expected to be on your door in July. Pledges of $30, $45, $90, and $180 or more will net you two, three, six, and 12 12oz bags of The Mix, respectively, sent at predetermined intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Not even through its first day, the Yes Plz Kickstarter has already acquired over $13,000 of its $40,000 goal, so smart money is on the campaign being fully funded.
