Coffee Thoughts

Let me squeeze in a note here for you all to enjoy. I know that I have been busy these last few months. I simply haven't had the time to stop and write. So here I am. For you!

Did you know that coffee tastes better in a real ceramic cup? Next time you get a cup of joe on the go, take the time and put it in a non-disposable beverage holder. You'll be amazed how much better the coffee tastes. Maybe, like wine, there should be different cups for different drinks. For a real cup of coffee -- black, no sugar -- you should have a wide rimmed cup a la red wine. The beverage will slip to the back off the tongue where you will taste that unique bitter greatness that makes coffee what it is.

The wimpier the coffee, the more sugar and milk products added, the narrower the cup. This will insure the drink, as it looses it's coffee essence and turns into warm sugary milk, increasingly hits the sweet buds on the tip of our tongue. By the time you get to the moca-frappachino-latte, you are drinking from an insulated champagne glass.

This conveniently breaks up coffee drinkers into easily classifiable segments, of which may or may not reflect their personality. If you know me, you probably know my thoughts on this.

Anyhow, It's lunch time. Time to fill up my coffee cup.

It tasted like most other coffees to me, but I milk down my coffee and drink it in a large plastic "FINA" truck stop mug.....
