Leave it blank if you would rather. Nothing here is required.
Only used to talk to you about this submission. Checked for a valid format only if you fill it in.

Independent coffee, corporate coffee, or both? REQUIRED

Credit preference REQUIRED
04 / Before you send
▸ BEFORE YOU TRANSMITChoosing anonymous means BREWSER will not publish your name or identifying information. If you provide an email, it will be used only to discuss your submission. Do not submit confidential business information or details that could unintentionally identify you, your coworkers, or customers.

Being straight with you about what this is: submissions go to our hosting provider, which records your IP address along with what you type, because that is how it filters spam. Anonymous here means we will not print who you are. It does not mean the transmission leaves no trace. If your story could cost you a job, write it from a personal device on a network that is not your employer’s, and leave out anything only one person could have known.
