In the famous words of Lorelai Gilmore, “Coffee-coffee-coffee is a saying. Like an exaggeration. It’s a funny, desperate cry for caffeine.”
Tuesday, September 29th is National Coffee Day (although, to me every day should be coffee day). All over the world, it seems like coffee is a way of life. We devote time to it, harvesting, roasting, percolating, trying to perfect every drip and sip. National Coffee Day honors those of us who love that magical little bean that seems to make your day just a little brighter, with one sniff and sip.
