My Morning Buzz

These three things,

put into these two things,

gives me this ONE really good thing!

Every morning I NEED to make an espresso, caffe latte or cappuccino. It's a habit deeply burned into my daily morning routine. I will not bore you with my morning laundry list, but this little morning shot of a bitter alkaloid known as C8H10N4O2 or street name, "caffeine" (gulp) allows me the time to "wake up", gather my thoughts, sneak a peak of CNN online, and write. Okay fine, I just spilled part of my morning laundry list to you; you feel closer to me now don't you.

Would you like to know how I decide my morning buzz of choice? It's complicated, and based on a formula. Oh please, it's all decided when I open the frig door and see if I have all three ingredients. It's that simple! The tough part is deciding which pretty cup or demitasse to use, wink.

To make the perfect drink, consider bean, water quality, grind and method or don't.

What is:

Espresso? Besides being delicious, espresso is made by forcing boiling water or steam through finely ground beans under pressure. The grind is almost a powder, the water should be fresh, cold, soft or low hardness.

Cappuccino? Is one-third espresso combined with one-third of steamed milk and one-third foamed milk. My favorite! Once again use fresh, good quality ingredients. No spoiled milk!

The Caffe Latte? Is also a tasty little morning treat, and consists of one-third espresso, two-thirds steamed milk topped with foam. Sprinkle on raw cane sugar or a swirl of Raw Pure-Organic Agave Nectar, or cinnamon.
