This is where I get really pretentious and actually start blogging about coffee.
My coffee this morning was amazing. Lately I've been drinking Starbucks' Pike Place roast, with approximately one cream (half-and-half, though I think I should switch to soy) and two sugars. I don't know what it was, but this morning the taste of the coffee itself really shone through. I think it was the most flavourful cup of coffee I've had yet; it wasn't held back by the cream or sugar, but it wasn't strong enough to be overpowering. All in all a very full flavour, mellowed to perfection by the cream and sugar. It certainly brightened an otherwise miserable morning.
So I'm sitting in a Starbucks now. I have another Pike Place in front of me, and it's still a bit too hot so I haven't had a proper taste. I do miss the daily vanilla lattes from Second Cup of yestersemester, but I regret it more. Daily lattes are not a financially sound decision, especially on minimum hours at minimum wage.
I think soon I'll start going through the bean selection at Planet Bean, the local free trade coffee company that's all the rage with the hipsters of the town, but unfortunately I haven't yet had the motivation to get out there. Soon though; I really admire their business model and I would love to give them my support. I do know that they make an amazing mocha, especially at the downtown branch, so I'm looking forward to finding my favourite blend.
Until next time; may your coffee stay warm and bring music to your taste buds.
