Whether he's promoting his books or sharing the 'ole ice cube trick' to salvage burnt brews, Craig's coffee musings could fill a whole barista's handbook—or at least a very niche zine!
From utilizing every nook of his social platforms to launch his books to infusing his posts with self-referential humor, Craig makes shamelessness feel like an art form.
His ability to juxtapose Tokyo's fashion scene with philosophical musings proves that he’s more than just a writer; he's the caffeinated oracle of urban Japan.
