Crazy For Coffee

I love coffee. I could drink a couple of pots a day, but I limit myself to drinking only in the morning and only 4 cups. I tried giving it up this past summer and was successful until I went on a cruise. The sight and smell of hundreds of people drinking coffee was more than I could stand.

My favorite cup of coffee comes on the day I have to open a new can. It is like a ritual. I scrubbed the pot and filter like no other day. As I remove the foil seal, I have to have my face so close that I can hear the "whoosh" as I lift the seal. The smell of the grounds almost gives me chills. I miss the old days when my coffee of choice, Folger's Columbian, came in a metal can with a metal seal. I am content to use tap water for my coffee on any other day, but on new can day I want it made with bottled water.

I am old fashion in my coffee preferences. I like the plain old stuff. Occasionally I will try a flavored coffee, but good old Columbian with real sugar and Creamora is the best. No blue or pink packet which will leave an after taste. No Coffee Mate or store brand which does not dissolve into a creamy texture will do. Even real cream is not as smooth.

I LOVE coffee!
