Naked Brewing for Better Gourmet Coffee?

Good Morning! Want to share some coffee and chat?

November in Vermont is shaping up to be a chilly one. Each morning, I sit here with my view of the picturesque Green Mountains, a steaming cup of my gourmet coffee of the day (today it’s the North Country blend) and get my news. Some days it almost makes me cry, someday it is thought provoking, and some days (like today)- it makes me laugh out loud.

A man in Springfield, Illinois was arrested for brewing coffee naked in his home. Seriously, I know there may be some legitimate concerns here, or maybe not. All I could think was- how many of us SO look forward to that first, smooth tasting, body warming cup of coffee that we would skip that getting dressed step to get there first? I'll bet more people have been tempted to do this than will ever admit to it. Frankly, it's getting too cold here to skip getting dressed! Maybe Illinois is warmer.

If only they would invent an alarm clock/coffee maker that starts brewing about 10 minutes before the alarm goes off! Then, we could gradually wake to the luscious aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It would grind the coffee beans too, of course! Until then, I guess most of us will stumble through the sacred morning ritual of dressing, grinding, brewing and waiting for the perfect cup of coffee.

Have you heard any good coffee related news? If so, send me your favorite blurb and maybe I'll include it in a future blog. It doesn't need to be as tantalizing as the naked brewing story to be interesting!

Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
