How Coffee Sloshed Into My Life

Sitting here in the sunshine with a cup of home brewed coffee and half and half, I realized I forgot to tell you how I came to be committed to this relationship. It's been about 12 or 13 years now that coffee and I have been going steady with only intermittent digressions- I  sometime swear off it and hang with Republic of Tea's Green tea with Plum but that's another story.  Simply told  I was carrying a cup of a fancy sugar- filled coffee to a client and it sloshed. I wiped it up with a finger and tasted it and discovered right then and there that it didn't taste like my mother's dirty black Maxwell House. It was sweet and light and tasted more like the coffee ice cream i had sampled though the years.
After that taste bud opening event I began ordering iced Mocha somethings (without the whipped cream )  and that summer and then little by little switched to lattes and coffee with cream when from whence I write today.
I have no real allegiance to any one brewer although I have a Peet's card and drink and order coffee form there for Real Estate Open Houses. When I taste something at your house that you like and I try it out to see if I like it better than Peet's.
