I had a little bit to drink last night so I ended spending the night over a friends house.  To my friends credit I woke to the smell of brewing coffee.  It was great after what was a rough night, indeed.  I got up and helped myself to a cup and asked for where the cream and sugar was.  “I think I have sugar somewhere,” my friend said.  “Cream,” I asked.  “Nope, milk.”  My heart sank.  Milk with coffee?  I can’t do it.

My Coffee Tastes Have Evolved

I think I can remember drinking coffee with milk when I was real young.  It’s the only way I knew how to do it.  As a Coffee Geek in training I was still impressionable.  I would take any old sludge and relish it.  Hey, I was young and allowed to have coffee so I just took it.

Now, I enjoy a vanilla latte every once in a while.  I’ll even partake in a really sweet tiny cappuccino every now and then after dinner at a restaurant.  The point I’m trying to make is that coffee for us is a bunch of different brews, concoctions, and mixtures.  What is one coffee geek’s grounds of paradise is another geek’s sludge.

Coffee For Us Is The Bee’s Knees

What kind of coffee do you like?  There’s a bunch of stuff that goes into that question.  I like it really sweet, large and creamy-but never extra cream.  That’s the reason I had to leave that house I woke up in this morning and get the heck to a Dunkin’ Donuts.  It didn’t necessarily have to be a Dunkin, but it is my coffee on the go choice.

Walk down the aisle of the coffee section in your supermarket and you’ll find all types of coffee, right?  Yet, just like smokers are loyal to a specific brand most of their smoking lives (which is significantly, reduced) most people will stay loyal to a coffee brand and type as well.

Speaking of which…how about cigarettes and coffee?  Anyone?
