The Knockbox is the newest creation of RJ Joseph, the creator of the Queer Cup<\/a>, contributor at Barista Magazine<\/a>, and staff writer here at Sprudge<\/a>. It is here we would like to note that The Knockbox is a wholly independent coffee publication from that of Sprudge, so separate in fact that I wasn\u2019t even asked to write for it and I\u2019m hilarious. Not that I\u2019m upset about that or anything. I\u2019m funny, right? Right?! Oh god, someone please tell me I\u2019m funny. This is my worst nightmare coming true.<\/p>\n When reached for comment, Joseph had this to say about her newest endeavor:<\/p>\n Written in the vein of The Onion<\/a> or The Borowitz Report<\/a>, The Knockbox has come out of the gate blazing, turning a smarmy eye towards Yelp reviewers, roasters, and all manner of barista folly. \u201cToo soon!\u201d will be the cry of the barista who feels personally attacked, seeing themselves in the harsh light of satire.<\/p>\n But the rest of us\u2014the ones who have already come to terms with our ludicrous existence\u2014we can all have a good laugh at those who can’t (until they start writing about coffee writers, that is. In which case, TOO SOON!).\u00a0<\/em>So go check out The Knockbox, it’s all gold. And be on the lookout for a Kickstarter campaign launching soon. Laughs aren’t free, so cough up the coin, chuckleheads.<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the news editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n *top image via The Knockbox<\/em><\/p>\n The post The Knockbox Is Coffee’s New Satire Website<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You like to laugh and you like coffee and sometimes you even like to laugh at coffee.

You like to laugh and you like coffee and sometimes you even like to laugh at coffee. That\u2019s why you are going to want to check out The Knockbox<\/a>, a new satirical website written by and for the specialty coffee community, at least the portion of it that recognizes how ridiculous we all are.<\/p>\n\nIn the coffee industry, we often take ourselves way too seriously, and I just want us to be able to have fun and laugh at ourselves and our very real challenges. Comedy is a great way to explore real issues that people on all sides of the bar face.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
