My Love of Coffee
posted by: ShonBaconI love coffee, and I can’t lie. I love coffee; this, I can’t deny.
On those days that I have breakfast, complete with cheesy scrambled eggs with mushrooms, sausages, and french toast, I like what I call my Get Me Goin’ Coffee, which usually consists of Maxwell House’s original blend, some sugar and creamer. It balances out the big breakfast and gives me a bit of energy to make it through my morning. This coffee I pour into one of my traditional coffee mugs. There’s no need to be cute, no need to be special. I admit, I don’t do this one that often because once I splash some H2O on my face, I am UP and READY to go – for the most part.
I’m a busy woman, and as such, I’m always in need of an extra kick to keep me moving. When I’m in need of that kick, I go for the Whole Grown Woman Coffee. This coffee usually consists of the same Maxwell House original blend with a dash of MONIN Dark Chocolate syrup to sweeten up the deal. This is what I usually drink, and sometimes, it makes the Sexy Coffee category when the stars and planets align, and I make a cup that’s perfect. Typically, the WGWC is placed in my red ceramic mug (because the red is bold – like me and my whole grown woman self) or it’s placed in one of my many mugs with a lid (because I mean business and coffee mugs with lids are the epitome of business, LOL)
My favorite coffee is Sexy Coffee. When I’m wanting to feel “home grown,” I will pull out the cappuccino maker my sister bought me for Christmas and make my own lattes and espressos and use my cute espresso cups, kinda like the ones below.
However, I usually want the SC when I want to be catered to. At these times, I head to my fave spot, Books-A-Million and order a grande chocolate-caramel latte, one shot, with whip. It’s so decadent, so sweet, so delish that when I take that first taste, I really should be alone – it’s that X-rated, LOL
I know talking about coffee is not writing-related (though I would argue that every sexy writer deserves an equally sexy cup of coffee!), but today, I went to BAM with my girlfriend and a friend of hers, and we had our sexy lattes, warm fuzzy feelings, and good talk.

My current favorite Sexy Coffee is a White Chocolate Mocha (with soy milk and whipped cream) from Starbucks, but your drink sounds even better! The only thing is that we don’t have Books-a-Million here in Detroit

Yas – and I was SO serious when I wrote this. I fiend coffee. I heart coffee. I need a CA group, STAT!
Hey Monica,
You know, my girlfriend wanted to go to Starbucks, but I convinced her to go to Joe Muggs (located in our BAM). Starbucks is so pretentious to me, and their coffees aren’t as sweet as I like them. I need to literally SEE the sugar coursing through me veins, LOL

Wow, someone who loves coffee as much as I do, everynight my husband sets the coffee to start perking at 4:30, so I have my first cup at 5am in a big brown mug, sometimes I will still stop on the way to work at starbucks and have either a Venti Mild with raw sugar or my all time favorite in the hole wide world. Caramel Macchiato with a triple shot…umm umm umm good.
Merry Christmas!

Hey there, Angelia,
I’m being schooled on coffee now – someone has pointed out that I must broaden my horizon past store-bought coffees and looked to something of the Italian or African variety, so that’s my goal…LOL
Hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday!
