I adore coffee. It is my favorite thing to drink, period. I am in constant search for the best cup on the planet, but this is difficult – there is a lot of really bad coffee out there, in my humble opinion. Coffee is my vice, my elixir of choice, my nectar of the gods. Hot, bold, and served in its natural state – dark-roasted with no added creamer or sweetener. Ahh…. I have been a Starbucks aficionado for many years, but I really prefer to grind the beans myself and brew it at home rather than take a chance on disappointment. Unless, of course, the Starbucks I am visiting…
