Growing up I was told not to drink coffee because it "stunts your growth". As I grew older, I liked the taste but never got into the "habbit" of drinking coffee. During my firefighting days, we drank coffee on the scene of a fire to keep warm but after my retirement, I drank it only on occasion but not more than 5 or 6 times a year. Even though I avoided the taste, the aroma of the brew always perks me up and it's a favorite smell of mine.
honeytiger has recently expressed an interest in drinking coffee (After having it served to us by our hosts on vacation) so we went out and bought a programmable Mr. Coffee.
We woke up to the smell and taste of Irish Creme Coffee this morning.....it was nice. =O)
