Contemplating Coffee
Posted by Jess is Jess , Wednesday, February 11, 2009 Wednesday, February 11, 2009
I am not a big coffee drinker - I enjoy it, for sure. I enjoy a nice latte or a cup after a meal, but I am by no means a connoisseur.
When I do drink coffee it is most usually for Starbucks, I enjoy all of their swag, the Ethos water, and the little green stoppers for when you take your coffee in the car. However, yesterday morning I was right by Peet's so there I stopped for a latte. I know that Peets is "real coffee" or whatever it is you actual connoisseurs say, but I thought that a latte is a latte and probably wouldn't be to strong.
It seems that I was wrong and subsequently I have developed some serious feelings about coffee.
I want my coffee to be warm (more hot than warm, but you get the idea), I want it to be smooth, I want to use words like pleasant when I describe my cup o' joe.
I do not want my coffee to knock my teeth out or make my eyes water, it should not be something that I would feed to my enemy in a time of war in order to disarm them.
You can boo and hiss all you like, but Starbucks, I am your devoted servant.
Later, gators
