Minimalist doesn't mean you can't use paragraph tags! And they seem to have wrapped some of the lines but not others, and did so manually.

This makes me sad.

So the real web page is on Facebook. I'm not even going to ask why this is on HN; I'm going to ask, "who the hell cares?"

Minimalisme isn't about making things hard to read.

Just adding a single inline style makes things easier on the eye (IMHO):

    style="width: 40em; padding-top: 1em; margin: auto"

I dig the minimal HTML, wish they'd drop the Google Analytics but I can understand why they went with it.

I do wish though that they would update to spec-compliant HTML. A character encoding and doctype would make me feel better, paragraph tags would probably go a long way.

Still, I strongly dig it.

OK. It's okay for you think the another world's Minimalist website has no value to your coffee shop. It's okay for local people. But if I'm travelling and unluckily see this website in Google result. I'd think it's a scam.

They are selling coffee in an analog medium (cups) offline only.

They could use version of Google Analytics.
