People can’t agree on where coffee’s secret lies: opinions range from the smell, the color, the taste, the consistency, the blend, the cardamom, the roast, to the shape of the cup and a number of other things. For me, it’s the timing. The great thing about a perfectly timed cup of coffee is that it’s in your hand the instant you crave it. One of life’s most exquisite moments is that in which a small luxury becomes a necessity.

For a minute, I was looking around for the hidden camera – then I realized her nails looked way better than mine. Yes – this is first, most appreciated luxury of the morning (other than waking up in the first place that is 😉 )..

Funny….that was the first thing I noticed too…her nails. Maybe I’m finally getting in touch with my feminine side? But, back to the topic at hand…why does it matter?. Just be glad that the brown water is there for us.

It’s all of the above for me. Coffee is so soothing. And my favorite morning ritual involves my husband bringing me my first cup in bed with a biscotto.
