The Coffee Chronicles
If the coffee you're drinking tastes like mud it was probably ground this morning.
The results of our recent survey are in and it seems that 87 % of our readers stir their coffee with their right hand. We'd like to respectfully suggest that they use a spoon instead.

Coffee Rulz
If you want instant coffee, you'll have to wait... unless you put it in a microwave which could actually make you go back in time.
If you match left-handed coffee mugs with right-handed saucers and put them on a decaffeinated coffee table no one will likely notice until it's too late.
If the health inspector condemns your coffee machine don't be afraid to be an individual and espresso yourself.
If you drink your coffee strong and black, you'll never be latte'.
Just have enough coffee to tide yourself over 'til you need more. Slow down when shaking too much to hold the cup.
Breakfast should never be a pot of coffee and a straw.
A Coffee and Toast
Kona, Mocha Java, Antigua, Terrazu, Sumatra - we travel around the world for the berry beans that subsequently traverse our preparatory, personal, and purgatory plumbing. Symbiotically we, and the beans, make each other immerge from our shells to find comfort and faith in a nice warm cup of diluted deity. Ah, that's the stuff!
From the earliest jitterbugging African goat
sightings the bean has been conspicuous, occasionally outlawed, and an ironic fuel which, like
petroleum, had no value just a few short centuries ago.
Cafés, once considered sources of intrigue, were
prohibited in France. Frederick
the Great of Prussia, too, wanted to make coffee out-of-bounds in order to
encourage his subjects to drink more beer and keep the money from leaving the
country. The British, on the other hand, embraced the sowing of the bean in
cafes as good for business. Cafés
were called “Penny Universities” for all that you could learn from the
conversations therein for the cost of a one-penny cup. Lloyd’s of London was
once a café that started ensuring seafaring cargos as a sideline.
The London Stock Exchange too started as a café.
Coffee even predicts the weather
and helps us to lose weight. The bubbles in a cup will tell you what the day’s
weather will be if you stare at it before adding milk. If the bubbles float
toward the rim, the pressure is low and clouds and stormy weather can be
expected. If the bubbles float to the center, the pressure is high and fair
weather is likely. When it comes to working out, while not a recommended
regimen, if combined with aerobic exercise it helps free up fat cells making
them burn off more readily.
Coffee shares our consciousness,
is best sweetened by good company, has bean around and gets things started.
A toast to you and your coffee: May your cup run over with warm comfort,
sweetness, and cordial vigor!

Polish Joke
One
evening a man was eating at a diner, when a well-dressed man sitting next to him
said, "Excuse me for intruding, but I could not help noticing your accent.
Are you from Krakow?"
"Yes, I am," replied the surprised man.
"It is so nice to meet a fellow kinsman over here," said the
well-dressed man. "I tell you what: I am a vice-president at Smedley &
Sons. If you ever need a job, give me a call and I will be happy to set you
up."
Six
months go by, and the man loses his job, and decides to call his new friend. He
had completely forgotten the man's name at this point, so he decided to take a
shot in the dark. The receptionist answered, and he asked, "Pardon me, do
you have a Krakauer there?"
