Yup, it's true...I'm addicted to coffee. But the good news is, I'm very indiscriminate when it comes to coffee. I do not need award-winning coffee beans imported from a special region in Guatemala that costs $60 dollars for a 12 oz. bag (true story). I will drink coffee from Starbucks, McDonald's, Denny's, Dunkin' Donuts, Stump Town's, or even off of a coffee cart. Furthermore, I will drink coffee that comes in a can, bottle, iced, hot, and I have never rejected a free cup of java from anyone.* (*See Comment)
Like any addict, the smell of coffee and the sight of a single coffee cup excites me. But my favorite coffee is from a diner - any ole' diner. There's something about the water-downed coffee they serve in diners, along with the fairly generic ceramic mug that they serve it in, that I love. Maybe it's the fact that diner coffee usually comes along with a big hearty breakfast or a T-bone steak and baked potatoes. Either way, I find diner coffees to be just right.
Lately, thanks to my friend Cat who is on a dairy & soy-free diet, I've started adding vanilla flavored rice milk in my coffee, which tastes great (plus less fat!). I am also very blessed that I have my very own barista at home. Tom brews our coffee every morning and puts them in matching thermal bottles for us to take to work/school. Now, we can stay awake while doing stupid things faster!

guess what? i was drinking *coffee* as i read your blog today. :)
You are too high and mighty to drink "Mellanmork" coffee from Ikea – the stuff I thought was actually a tree-bark coffee.
And the flavored stuff I got from Wal-Mart for $1.99 didn't suit your fancy either.
Ok, I will say that I did not particularly like the coffee from IKEA or Wal-Mart (ahem), although I still drank it! I also don't fancy the gross coffee at work or the free coffee they offer at Wells Fargo. There, some exceptions to our general rule, like any good constitutional law!
I am a coffee "smeller". I am not enjoy coffee as I smell the "smell of coffee". But I like a good smell ones!
Mmm, I'm reading your post after a particularly sleep-starved night with the babe, having just a few minutes ago come out of the fog of sleep deprivation thanks to two generous, well-appreciated mugs of coffee - sweetened, of course, with vanilla rice milk. :)
