Coffee

I don't drink it, at least insofar as "I drink coffee" in America means "I am a caffeine addict and use coffee as my delivery method". I'll have a decaf cappuccino from time to time in the evening after dessert at a restaurant. But coffee is not a part of my daily life. I avoid caffeine. A little goes a long way with me.

With that said, I love the way it smells. I got off the ferry this morning and walked past a Peet's, and the smell was outstanding. I had the urge to stick my head in a huge bag of coffee beans and just breathe. I grew up in a coffee household, so the smell brings back cozy memories.

I need to smell more coffee. Smelling coffee makes me happy.
