The best thing since sliced bread?


Coffee, has to be one of the single greatest inventions/discoveries of all time. Not only is it delicious in many forms, but it also provides a wonderful 'side effect' that provides a little boost of energy.

Growing up my mom would drink coffee everyday. I always loved the smell of the beans before being brewed, but then again I always loved the smell of her cigarettes before she smoked them. So that may not be the best logic, but I digress.

Going to McDonalds was a special treat (classy, right?), and the single greatest memory I have of that experience (other than the play structure or delicious hash browns) was pouring in the two pre-portioned cups of half and half and watching them swirl around. You know what I'm talking about, right?

Nowadays, I'm into coffee (but not cigarettes). Iced coffee, brewed coffee, french press coffee, espresso, lattes, and even the Starbucks instant coffee. However, generally speaking if coffee comes in a large tin can from the megamart I'm not a huge fan. I have to admit that the best cup of coffee I've ever had, and consistently have is that from Stumptown Coffee Roasters located in Portland. I'm not an expert in coffee and probably don't have the most discerning of taste, but I really enjoy me a cup-o-joe.

So, I just thought I'd share my joy and love of coffee with you all and hope you can enjoy a cup of Stumptown's finest.
