All things coffee

café au lait in emma bridgewater mug | simple pretty

I love coffee. My morning can’t start without two cups, prepared at home. I’m a cafe au lait girl so there has to be steamed milk: currently I’m using 2% and adding a touch of sugar. I kicked my Splenda habit a month ago.

I also love coffee shops, and so the recent NYTimes article, “Bean Town”, about boutique coffee houses in NYC intrigued me. I ended up researching many of the shops featured in the article out of curiosity. If you share my taste in graphic design, I think you’ll enjoy the websites for Think, Oslo, and Ninth Street Espresso. I can’t vouch for the coffee yet (although they’ve certainly been added to the places to go) but the virtual visits were lots of fun.

Still want more? Check out Flickr member Arancia Project’s collection of coffee cups. (Another reason why I’m in love with the internet.)

And finally, if you want to see how a barista at Ninth Street Espresso makes your cup of coffee look like art (unlike my sad little attempt above) check out this NYTimes video.

    The best wedding present J and I received was a Keurig coffee machine :)

    But have you heard about the new study that links coffee to smaller boobs?
