Logan, does your hubby know Terry? He's the same way.

I don't drink much coffee at all, but Terry has to have his in the morning. My mom drinks it too, so I grew up with the smell of coffee and I, too, love the smell of it brewing.

Actually I never used to touch the stuff, until Starbucks came on the scene. Then all I'd ever have is a Cafe' Mocha Grande with an extra shot for good measure. But for me, coffee has to be hot and sweet or forget it. Cold coffee....eeewww....

A few years back we got one of those promotional things from Gevalia where they just ship it to you whenever you want it - every 4 weeks or 5 weeks or 6 weeks or however often you want it. It's not much more expensive than premium coffee (like Starbucks) at the grocery story and I never have to worry about buying it. We switched Terry to decaf a few years ago too, because he was just nervous and cranky all the time from the caffeine.

The only time I'll drink it is if we come across a coffee shop somewhere - and we actually prefer any coffee shop except Starbucks - or on the weekends. For some reason on the weekends I have to have a cup in the morning before I get in the shower. Lots and lots of the powdered creamer with two packets of sweet-n-low per cup please.

Oh, and Terry prefers Hazelnut or the Stockholm roast which is a little darker blend than Gevalia's normal roast. I prefer the Hazelnut, but the Stockholm is pretty good too.
