I've decided that I like coffee because it is like chocolate and cigarettes. Good coffee just reminds me of chocolate. I don't know if its the graininess or how the dark flavor has depth (like dark chocolate - I mean the real 86% dark chocolate) but something about the aftertaste or the overall effect of coffee is very much like chocolate. It makes me happy.
In the same way, the initial inhale and exhale after the first sip of coffee reminds me of the first drag of a cigarette. The whole body tenses up to expand the lungs to take in that first puff and as the smoke is released, the whole body relaxes. Although I don't smoke, that's very much what I imagine the sensation to be like in the morning. For me, that's what coffee does. After that first sip, there's the fragrance of coffee still lingers and with a deep breath, I can almost feel the caffeine rushing to my head. When I exhale, all of a sudden, I feel ready to take on the world.
