Karen’s Opinion

because My Opinion Counts


Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

A fellow blogger showed us a picture of her favorite coffee cup and it made me think about whether I have a favorite coffee cup. Well, I have two! I have a tall black mug that matches my son and daughter in-law’s dinnerware. I don’t know how it happened that I have a mug that matches their dishes, maybe my son gave it to me. I also like the red and white plaid mug that I won from a giveaway on Val’s site, Mom Knows It All.

I am not that gung ho over what type of coffee I drink. I just like the feeling of sipping a hot beverage. It makes me feel pampered to sit and drink a cup of coffee. I don’t get headaches if I don’t drink it. I will be awake all night if I drink decaf coffee in the evening. It effects my mother in-law that way too. It is supposed to prevent us from being awake but works the opposite.

I don’t like strong coffee. That means I don’t like Starbucks. It tastes burnt and bitter. I have heard that Starbucks roasts their beans at a higher temperature than normal so the beans will get roasted more quickly. In the process, some of the beans are burnt — which gives Starbucks’ coffee its bitter and burnt taste. I do like Seattle’s Best which is distributed by Starbucks.

I love the smell of coffee and especially flavored coffee. I have candles that smell like coffee. They make my whole house smell so good!
