Oh god yes coffee... Unf. Mmmmmpppf... *slurp* →[More:]Freshly ground and brewed hot black coffee. I'm loving the Pacific NW. There's good coffee freakin' everywhere.
I love the fact that you can (by national standards) actually get a cup of real fresh-ground, fresh brewed coffee nearly everywhere. Grocery stores, gas stations, minimarts. Not that you'd want to, considering the vast number of drive-through espresso joints, sit down coffee shops and more.
And as the days grow darker and colder, I can see why. You need it up here. Keeps you warm, staves off the winter blues, etc. Mmmm. Coffee.
