I used to work at a coffee shop and enjoyed everything about it the people, making the drinks, learning something each day about the subject.....inventing drinks with different syrup combinations...it's so addictive....just the whole "coffee culture" there are books about coffee....clothes to wear about coffee....towels for the kitchen with coffee beans and cups imprinted on them....coffee candy ....coffee cakes....coffee ice cream ..you name it! COFFEE RULES....

Enjoy....here's to you a toast!
