I’ve had a long relationship with coffee…back in the day when my Mama used to have church circle and the ladies would leave their half drank coffee cups beside their chairs  as they exited, I would crawl around the corner and sneak a drink of their leftover coffee. As I grew, so did my love for coffee…it was my friend in college when I needed to stay up extra late, then as I eased into the working world, it greeted me every morning. There was even a day when I thought of myself as a bit of a coffee snob and maybe even somewhat rigid in my coffee regimen.
