Thanks for the shout out Mike! I enjoyed making the puns. I am mulling over some creative posts in the future, when time permits from my crazy academic schedule. Great reviews over the week, especially Jim’s organic Ethiopian.
Love this line, “A bright strawberry flavor filled my mouth as I took my first sip. That was followed by a bold nutty flavor. The lemony that they describe, came out to play in the after taste. As it cooled down, it had a more of a wine like flavor.”
Best,
Jack
Anytime! That was a great crossword!
Thanks! Sometimes I think I’m going overboard with my descriptions and trying to fit in everything that I’m tasting or smelling.

all cups were listed at are $ 3.00

sort of added tip$.
I think that might be the one that was burned down earlier this year by a jealous ex-boyfriend. But they rebuilt it in a trailer. The story can’t get much better. Of course, they never mention how the coffee is.
I definitely enjoyed your round up – Especially the coffee scent idea for a man’s scent. I would definitely by my boyfriend a coffee-scented cologne!

I would buy some for myself too, although I’m pretty sure that I smell like coffee all the time anyways.
A coffee-scented cologne?? I have never heard of this before… Sounds like an excellent idea!
I agree.
