Had a good stint of coffee-less life.

And I mean good. Splendid. Wonderful.

Sadly, we are "jammin'" at work this week. 12-hour days all week! Tends to draw one into the caffeine domain.

Had some "medium" blend today. No idea what that means.

I did learn, however, that this mug of mine holds significantly more coffee than a regular cup.

So I used three bags of sugar.

Nailed it.

The coffee was rather gross. But being able to taste the sugar was nice.

Always hear the classic movie line: "so and so burnt the coffee again." Never really understood that.

I think I do now.

This is probably burnt. I say probably because I have no way of knowing. Other than asking. Which is a ridiculous solution, and would "out" me as the guy who doesn't know anything about coffee and consequently insults its brewers.

Also, it's coffee. So it already tastes awful. I just can't tell if it's normal awful, or burnt normal awful.

I'm not a fan of hot things. Being a bit "insulated" myself, and prone to sweating, heat is not usually my friend.

This is generally true with beverages as well. Of course I like my tea, cocoa, coffee, etc. to be hot. But hardly.

Which makes having this large, metallic, insulated mug a bit of a hassle.

I have to wait for my coffee to cool down. For something like half an hour.

So I decided to use the refrigerated creamer today. 

Woooo....

Well happy new year!

Less happy, the moment I put coffee in my mouth. Goodness, I had high hopes for the new year making the putrid taste transform into something beyond barely tolerable. ;)

I bought this thing a few years ago in order to take my blessed hot cocoa with me to morning lectures. And to avoid spilling said cocoa all over my pants.

I think it's the first time it's ever had coffee in it.

Washed-up, as far as mugs go. Coffee? Sad.
