My west coast brother has informed me that today is "National Coffee Day." Now there's something we celebrate every day around here.
I did not appreciate, before we were married, what a fine barista my spouse is. We do not just buy a can of Folgers or some other coffee at Kroger's. No indeed. Instead, he buys freshly roasted coffee beans - half the house blend at Old Crown Coffee Roasters and half their decaf house blend. These he shakes together in an air tight storage container. Each morning he 'mills' rather than 'grinds' enough grounds for eight cups of coffee. Then places the freshly milled coffee in a special cone shaped filter in our new (we've worn out two old ones) drip coffee maker.
The result is wonderful coffee which we linger over longer than we should most mornings.
Being a purists, my wonder spouse drinks his coffee black of course, I however like a little milk in my coffee. He has learned to avert his eyes and not make too much of a fuss about this.
