Haven't done this for a while. . . sat down with a steaming cup of coffee I mean. . .
I can't believe how bleak mornings can look without it -
I think this just about lists it though:
1. The sense of comfort - When your alarm first goes off, my first thought is to roll back over and go back to nigh nigh. . . but thinking about taking a shower and then brewing some coffee sends some comfort to aid in the most needed moment.
2. Refreshing, and nothing else can describe it - pulling the cold coffee bag out of the freezer to grind the beans.
3. That sound - the grinder, the drip-drop/slurp sounds it makes while its brewing.
4. Smell - the ground beans, the brew.
5. And finally, the taste - silky smooth black coffee - black - Mmmmm
The best deal and taste I found for your everyday is "Seattle Mountain Blend" (for us Seattle lovers) - at Costco, in a 40 oz. bag, $8.99 - lasts us a little over a month or so.
You make me wish I were a coffee lover. Alas, though I've tried to become addicted (aka not a sluggard in the morning), I've failed every time.
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of coffee, the smell of coffee, coffee-flavored treats (like ice cream), etc. Just can't make myself like the taste...unless it's "fru-fru" coffee, like from that place that charges $5/cup. I think it's name starts with an S?
Didn't Ben Franklin say "Coffee is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"?
ReplyDeleteI know it was something like that...
