I have the privilege of working at the world's finest purveyor of coffee. (And, they have flexible hours for students and full benefits options for part-time employment) The good part about that is I have a virtually unlimited supply of coffee at my fingertips. I also get amazing discounts (like 30% off of EVERYTHING... be it sale items, $1,000 espresso machines... etc) and great perks (one pound of whole-bean coffee a week). In the past I have not had that much coffee to drink at home. I drink it at work, with friends, at other coffee houses to use their free wireless (which is my one beef with Starbucks... who charges for wireless internet at a coffee house?).
Times Change.
I purchased a French Press some time ago to make the proper amount of coffee for one person... two full cups. But I was in the habit of making it and then drinking 1/2 of one cup. No longer. I have found that you need to keep one hand free while reading to continually sip the beloved beverage. And as evidenced by my friend in my Greek class yesterday, caffeine keeps you awake in class long enough to get some good notes.
I am not opening my store today (it's about time) so I have time to relax in my morning routine, which includes being able to write a post. After all of the reading is done and almost all of the coffee is gone, I decided to look up the benefits of coffee. Yes, that's right... benefits. Not just the caffeine jitters... but the actual health benefits.
Check it out.
That's right. "lower the risk of diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and colon cancer." I don't know about you, but I sure don't want colon cancer. So bottoms up. Stop by the drivethru of your local Starbucks. get some beans to brew at home. And common in to my new store at Hikes and Taylorsville to purchase a great machine during our brewing sale (starts March 11th) to make sure you get that perfect cup at home.
I sure do.
