There was a time when I fell into the category of people who “Never drank Coffee ”. But two things happened that changed my relationship with the drink.
2) Reading books became a ritual
Seattle is often regarded as coffee’s Mecca. It’s the birthplace of Starbucks, Seattle’s Best and home of Tully’s.
There are coffee and espresso shops almost in every street within a four mile radius of my house. People here love coffee. They even buy fresh beans, grind them and brew their own coffee.

However, the fact remains that Brazil is the world’s largest producer. Coffee in Brazil is grown at a maximum of 4000 feet in elevation and is said to be sweeter and less acidic than other types of coffee.

India is the world's sixth largest producer. You’ll find coffee estates and farms in the Southern states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamilnadu. If you ever visit India, don’t forget to indulge in a cup of sweet, home-brewed, milky filter coffee made from dark roasted beans and chicory.

Today, the view from my window looks bright with green branches swaying in the light breeze, up a cloudless blue sky.
I’m going spend the rest of my afternoon on a good book
And a cup of delicious white chocolate mocha frapuccino

Do you drink coffee? What type of coffee delights your senses ?

I'm not a big coffee drinker. When I drink it, it's usually espresso.
Cool latte art video.
Medeia -
Good for you health-wise. Im guessing the caffeine from espresso should help you once in a while :-)
Isn't the video really cool? Im so glad you liked it.
Best,
Suma.
I am a coffee drinker and for that alone I'm happy to live in Seattle. Whenever we travel to another state, I always look for Starbucks.
I like my coffee very simple: just freshly brewed espresso with cream. But from time to time I indulge in a fancy drink, especially during late months: pumpkin mocha for around Halloween time and peppermint mocha in December.
That's some cool coffee art. I love the new white chocolate mocha at Starbucks. But home made decoction coffee is still my most favorite!
The best coffee I have ever had is in my old city, Chicago, at a place called Intelligentsia.
I miss it so much it is hard to describe the feeling.
@ Angela : Freshly brewed espresso with cream sounds just right for the cold weather today.
@ Anna : Yes, nothing can beat the home made decoction.
@ Ron : I must try the new place you mention in Chicago. Thanks for the reference.
I only drink coffee on Saturdays (the days of my writers' read/critique workshop--Trinity Writers Workshop) Those days I drive through Starbucks and pick up a venti, skinny, hazlenut latte with two equal and a package of vanilla scones.
