For the longest time I was of the opinion that coffee smelled a lot better than it tasted. I will admit to enjoying decaf after dinner but usually I'll take the regular variety of coffee. Anyway, I need to go make the first pot of coffee for the day. Getting to the office early means no coffee waiting but at least I get to make it my way.grahamstravelbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127802470807885644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179355911461156977.post-46675359138195405192008-10-23T04:17:00.000-07:002008-10-23T04:17:00.000-07:00I drink decaf.

This was especially hard in Europe as they do not ususally brew decaf, so I got a lot of instant coffee packets, which real cream helps. But on one trip to Whidbey Island I discovered Useless Bay Coffee Company and Roc brews the best decaf known to man. I have to order it now. I very happy coffee memory for me is when I was a young girl we drove from NJ to MA on most weekends to see family. My parents would put us kids in the back seat and start driving in the wee hours. After some time, in my sleep I would smell coffee, right from the thermos. Man that thermos coffee smelled good! Thanks for the post, it brought back memories.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252905448584981721noreply@blogger.com
