More coffee, please.

At the little on-campus café called Charlie Brown's at Sonoma State University, there was a sign hanging near the cash register that said “Instant human, just add coffee.” I can still picture it. Maybe it's still there.

Life is a little hectic lately, and I've fully realized my caffeine addiction as a result...so this artwork above made me chuckle. :)

I inherited a deep and unwavering appreciation for good, strong coffee. One of the best cups I’ve ever tasted is pictured to the left, from Zatori café in Nelson, New Zealand. And I’m sure there’s much more great coffee to be tasted out there in the world. Have you ever been coffee tasting? Think wine tasting but with sips of fine espresso and roasted brews. I just discovered they do tastings at Sacramento's Temple Coffee and classes on making latte art with foam and milk (which has become an intense competitive sport these days). Sounds like an energy boost!

And this concludes a very jumpy post. Happy sipping, and happy Friday, everyone.

P.s. Some insider information: Peet's Coffee locations have been giving away free cups of coffee every Wednesday in October. Halloween is the last chance to pick up a cup.
