I’ve been a coffee drinker for nearly a decade now.  Normally, we brew one 8-cup pot of standard Folgers classic roast.  I take mine with cream & sugar.  It was once an occasional treat, then it became as important to my morning as the sunrise.  Then, over the past few months we did something drastic.  We started buying expensive Starbucks coffee and using it at home.  I must confess, the first week or two I couldn’t wait for morning to arrive.  It was like starting off each day with dessert.  Seriously.  I was not regretful of the expense one bit.  I was certain that it was worth it.  Now, I’m not so sure anymore.  I took a treat that was rare and extraordinary and made it standard.  I am no longer delighted by the Starbucks coffee in the morning — it has become just coffee.  It doesn’t exceed my expectations any longer.  I ruined it.  This is probably just as well since I’ve quit.  So far day two and the shakes are beginning to rattle me.
