Your Morning Coffee (Cup)?

Bustello
Black no sugar
But when in the right places I'll have a cafecito or an espresso - short and extra sweet - drink it like a shot of cheap tequila.
I also like a Latte or Cappuccino - unsweetened - when in the right locale or mood
 
The expression I learned in the 7th grade was: "Coffee should be, black as the devil, hot as hell, and sweet as sin." I take mine, 1/3rd milk & 2/3rds coffee with no sweetener.
It's really not good to get coffee too hot. Somewhere just short of boiling , it starts getting bitter notes.
 
There’s a lot of culture wrapped around coffee…

It is likely that the two most spoken lines during the 635 episodes of the western Gunsmoke were, “Is he dead, Doc?” and “Want a cup of coffee?” Sometimes I think it went, “If he’s dead Doc then we might as well go get a cup of coffee. “
 
I rotate between two daily mugs chosen years ago so I can keep Carolina in my mind. They’re just about illegible from so many washings but I figure I’ll capture them here for posterity.
