For the love of coffee...




There has to be something magical about the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Waking up early in the morning, your coffee maker on auto; that brewed coffee aroma smoothly makes its way to your nose. You rise, dress and head downstairs to have that first cup of coffee.

You then wonder to yourself, do you add cream and sugar or is it going to be black, today?  Black and strong, it is. After that first sip you can feel the edge slipping, your eyes open and you are now, ready to take on your day.

Out the door and on to the highway you just realized that you left your coffee mug on the kitchen table. Your edge comes back with a vengeance. But you are safe, up ahead is a McDonald’s and you're feeling better. You roll into the parking lot but decided to go inside instead. You open the door and are greeted with the big, bold aroma of coffee, your day is made.

On the menu you notice that McDonald’s McCafé has nine selections. When it comes to coffee, your preference is black and rich, but today you decide to try something different. No iced coffee for you, though, that’s what you do on your way home to help you unwind.

Your choice now is between the McCafé Mocha, an Espresso drink, strong, hot, with milk, chocolate syrup, of course, whipped cream. But your second choice is the McCafé Cappuccino, made with nonfat, or your favorite, whole milk, steamed and topped with frothy milk. You don’t hesitate and pick the extra-large McCafé Mocha.

Your day is now set and you feel you do a full day’s work, that is until lunch…McDonald’s or…?
