There really are two ways to go with this topic. First is my constant coffee companion- Lovey of course!
We are coffee people in the most unabashed sense. We seek it out, out of necessity, out of interest, out of joy… We like it with cream, soymilk, black, iced and with turbinado sugar or simply with foam. We order it in taverns, in grocery stores, in home repair stores, in coffee shops, in airports and museums. We bring our own, we roast our own and we foam our own. We like a good cup of diner coffee as much as a rich espresso brewed up by a Florentine barrista. We mail order beans from our favorite shops around the country and the entry price into the House of Two Gables when coming to stay is a typically a pound from your local shop. Often more then a pound if you are coming from Portland, Chicago, Madison or San Francisco in particular.
But really what first came to mind at the topic was what I typically have with my coffee. I’m a morning coffee drinker so it is typically a bowl of cereal alongside a home-brewed cup with whole milk served in my favorite mug. Stop on by- most coffee lover’s are drop by people I think- at least we are! There’s plenty to share!
To see who everyone else is sharing their coffee with start with our lovely host- Jane and travel around the world!
