Woke up, got outa bed...

...dragged a comb across my head.  Went downstairs and had a cup.  And that's about all the Beatles wrote about coffee making.

I noticed today is May 1, and we have been home for about 3-4 weeks so far this year.  Lotsa travel.  Imagine if all those mornings waking up in a hotel room were not blessed with a decent cup of coffee to punctuate the morning?!

I likes my coffee.  It used to be that my Starbucks card was my best coffee tool on the road.  Then came the iPhone app, and I thought tech had made my life better.  Then came @CoffeePedaler.  I learned what really good coffee is, and how it is made, and how different it is from the mundane good quality with which I had become enamored.

Now, thanks to @CoffeePedaler, I travel with a coffee tech kit comprised of: an Aero Press, a scale, 2 ceramic cups, a Hario grinder, and great whole beans.  A lot of kit for someone who lives indefinitely out of carryon luggage!  That is the strongest statement I can make about the value I place on my coffee.

If the Beatles were now, I like to Imagine that coffee would be their cuppa tea.
