As you may have guessed from the name of this blog, I am a big fan of coffee. The site’s name comes from the title of the email I would send out each day to my co-workers that were in a coffee club with me. Each day I’d let them know when the coffee was ready and include random pictures or quotes or things I found interesting. Those emails were the inspiration for this site, so it seemed appropriate to keep the name.

Coffee is tremendous. I love the way it smells. I love mixing and matching different flavors and coming up with new combinations to try. I don’t even drink it to wake up, I just enjoy the taste. Coffee also has numerous health benefits. Coffee has been shown to increase metabolic rate in the short term, contains nutrients like vitamin B2, B5 and Potassium, can lower your risk of type II diabetes, help lower your risk for Alzheimer’s and Dementia, lower your risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver, and contains a ton of antioxidants. Black coffee also has about 2 calories per cup.

It’s an all-around fantastic drink. This Sunday, I will follow my own advice and take a moment to stop and smell the coffee and appreciate the wonderful drink that has brought me so much happiness.
