Coffee is probably the biggest reason most of us get out of bed in the morning. Sure, we might have jobs, kids, obligations, or a general sense of joie de vivre, but coffee certainly helps. The thought of having a fresh cup in the morning is enough to make you want to bear the injustice of getting out of bed when you’re still sleepy. 

Its chocolatey, rich, unctuous mouthfeel, its powers of wakefulness, the chance to sip it slowly, adding a little bit of joy to each moment in the morning. Plus, if you’re like me, you vary your coffee choices from day to day. Some days you’re making it at home, carving out some good couch time and your favorite mug. Maybe you’re getting it at a new coffee shop in the neighborhood- the thrill of trying a new thing. Maybe a friend will bring one to you. All are wonderfully fulfilling experiences.
