Ode to the Simple Cuppa

Coffee is a given morning staple. The hot, black liquid beckons you out of bed, whispering "you'll survive the day, I promise"... This under-rated beverage is just there for Life moments; whether it be catching up with family and friends or hearing bad news the steaming cup is not far away. Coffee is more than an addiction it's a way of life, it has been there silently lurking for hundreds of years. There is never too much fuss or praise for good coffee but as soon as a cold or burnt mug is put down in front of you, there is hell to pay.

This morning I realized just how much I appreciate this simple luxury. On a cold winter morning, with a thirteen hour day at university looming, this gorgeous elixir drew me out of my slumber in a frame of mind to tackle the day. And all was well. This was until my mid-morning skinny cappuccino; the service was poor, the coffee burnt, the cup dirty. Why make the job of the humble coffee bean even harder? The experience made me realize just how much I rely on my daily pick-me-up of a good cup of Joe.

The next time you indulge in a good cup of coffee; Enjoy it and all of your first-world problems will melt away.
