R. I. P. Renato Bialetti (93), "l'uomo con i baffi", who did not invent the Moka Express (that was his father, Alfonso) but successfully popularized it. His ashes were placed in a large-model Moka Express. We drink a pot of coffee in his honor, as we do every morning.

Soon I should take the (borrowed) dog out for a walk and after that go to work. Motivation zero today. I could just sleep the whole day.



Yes yes, I'm going... See?

I find it quite hilarious that he was buried in a coffee pot. ;D

Also appropriate.
 
Ugh I am awake at the ungodly hour of 9:43AM for this stupid class I'm taking.

I slept through it the past 2 weeks.... :( I'm really not good at making it to classes before 11am
 
Well, at least you can drink coffee... I can't stand it.

I used to hate coffee. Then there was a Dunkin' Donuts on my way to class every morning in law school. I started stopping by every morning out of sheer necessity, because listening to Professor Tobias teach Constitutional Law at 8:00 am could probably work as one of those sleep audio CDs people buy. That was seven and a half years ago. My three cups in the morning are now a requirement on most days. I have 3/4 of my final cup sitting here with my right now. Mmmmmmmmmm..........
 
I can't understand coffee drinkers either. They are so hyped about the coffee and it seems to be the answer for everything.

I have tried drinking it several times, but I didn't never get that a-haa feeling. It doesn't keep me awake, it doesn't cheer me up or it doesn't even taste good. I mean, it's not that terrible either, but I just don't want to drink it. I can't see any reason to drink it. Water tastes better.

And because we live in Finland and practically everybody here drinks a LOTS of coffee, I sometimes feel myself like a stranger. Once we went to visit my friends aunt and she was literally shocked that I didn't drink coffee. She behaved like I had insulted her :D My friends know this and when they come to visit here, they bring their own coffees 'cause I don't usually have any :D They even bought me a coffee maker for present :D

If I go to visit people I don't know that well, they need to ask me at least three times "Are you SURE that you don't drink coffee?" Yes, I'm sure. I have been sure for 35 years now... I can't understand how it can be THAT big of a deal. And no, I don't drink tea either (just when I'm sick). Water is really just fine, if you don't have anything else. I don't blame you for being a bad host, I know I'm "different" and I don't expect special service.

:thinking:

Wel there are people ofcourse who exaggerate, but it is kinda personal (atleast in my fair opinion). I love coffee hehe it does give me that extra little boost or when I am kinda feeling meh and then taking some coffee...hmmmmm lol. But yeah I usually get looks when I tell people I don't like tea....tea makes me sleepy and drowsy.

Funny thing though because I do like Ice tea XD

I had exactly 3 cups of coffee in my life. Never again as far as I can say something on this matter... it's just taste bad for me.
