perfect cup of sumatra

there is a new $12,000 coffee apparatus at starbucks. it is intelligent. it thinks, weighs, measures, pushes and pulls out water. it, along with my friendly and knowledgeable barista, produced a “perfect” cup of 2/3 caf and 1/3 decaf sumatra. at almost $3 for a short cup, it inspires guilt. i am a good person. i really am.

too busy for coffee!

i am too busy to make coffee at work sometimes. this week two days went by and i did not make my official second cup, or ‘follow-up cup’ because i was too busy. that is wrong. coffee is important. it is important for me to arrive at work on time for many reasons including: then there is time to make coffee.
