It’s still coffee

Image via Wikipedia

I feel the need to set some­thing straight. There seems to be a mis­un­der­stand­ing amongst cof­fee drinkers that if you don’t take your cof­fee black that you’re not a TRUE cof­fee drinker. To that I say most pro­fes­sion­ally, “Psssshhhhaw!!

I have tried to curb my cof­fee intake no less than 50 gazil­lion times with no luck…that makes me a cof­fee addict, not just a cof­fee drinker. When I wake up in the morn­ing, my body may be awake, but my mind is snooz­ing soundly until my lips wrap them­selves around a hot cup of java.

How­ever, I do not drink it black. I like a lit­tle sumpin’-sumpin’ with “the joe”. I don’t drink Fold­ers even though I cry every time Peter comes home for Christ­mas. I don’t drink Maxwell House even though I com­pletely dig their ama­teur singers. I’m com­pletely addicted to Dunkin Donuts and Trader Joes. A lit­tle Cin­na­mon Spice and Win­tery Blend make me crave it more. The mar­keter in me jumps for joy over how well the cof­fee does its job. [High five, you crazy lil’ bean!]

So don’t judge me if I ask for a lit­tle acces­sory to accom­pany my sta­ple drink.  I’m much more than just a cof­fee drinker. I’m a fancy-pants cof­fee drinker!

…now can I be in your club, already??

   That’s for darn sure! I’m also a drinker of acces­sorized cof­fee, but I am most def­i­nitely a cof­fee drinker. My “add-ins” don’t make it unrecognizable…they just make it delicious!!!

   And by the way.…DD and TJ’s are my cof­fees of choice as well!!

   Sing it, my friend! I’ve never tried the fla­vored cof­fees, tho. I’m more a cream with some cof­fee drinker. LOVE those fla­vored creams!

   OK…I am a DD French Vanilla freak myself.… I like some very high qual­ity half-half…I would LOVE light cream, but it is rare to find it here on the shelves. I like some fake sugar in my joe too.… now, the truth is… peo­ple who drink it black are snootie.… so they think they are bet­ter.… I know..the truth hurts, but cof­fee is a build­ing block…that we make bet­ter with fla­vors and cream and sweet stuff. Last time I check… go don’t GROW vanilla cof­fee.… it is infused.… the plain cof­fee snobs… are just too lazy to add any­thing to their cof­fee.… that is all it is.… they walk around with that weird look on their face because their cof­fee is black! LIVE and ENJOY… I am!
