Where does a cup of coffee take you?

Yes, I'm physically here in the Green Mountains of Cambridge, Vermont; but, this morning I was swept away to sunny Brazil as I sipped my mug of Brazilian Bourbon Santos coffee. Yet, sometimes I'm sipping that mug in the car while I run errands for the shop, at a table with a friend, or here in the Brown and Jenkins roastery.


Where do you drink your coffee?


Maybe you spend your days playing chauffeur to your children or driving for your business. Maybe you drink your coffee with your husband or wife while reading Seven Days or the Burlington Free Press. Or maybe you live your life online and drink a cup of Blog Grog sitting in a gourmet coffee shop like ours, or right in your own home office, or cozy chair.


Let me know where you coffee takes you. Whether it's to an exotic state of mind or just traveling to Montpelier, your experience is unique! Do you have a favorite coffee mug or travel mug? Or is your car littered with disposable cups? Every coffee drinker has a story to tell. What's yours? Take a look at the weird coffee fact below to read about one Pope's coffee experience!


Weird Coffee Fact- Coffee was once considered a wicked and sinful beverage by many Christians who labeled it the Devil's Drink. Pope Vincent III was charged with ruling on this decision and so tasted the purportedly wicked liquid. Ironically, he fell in love with the rich taste of coffee and, instead of banishing it, he baptized it! It's said that he decided it would be a shame to let only infidels enjoy coffee.



Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
