I don't think I've ever worked in a newsroom that wasn't in some way powered by coffee. The idea that journalism runs on caffeine is an accepted enough truism that there's an entire genre of coffee mugs dedicated to the idea, which are emblazoned with pithy sayings (or at least pithy enough to be a hit in Zoom editorial meetings) like "Journalist: 0% BS, 200% caffeine" and "Warning: Caffeine-Deprived Journalist Working."
That said, it's not all black coffee and deadlines — which is why the Salon Food team decided to poll our colleagues about their favorite seasonal coffees. You know, the stuff that's a little more festive than burnt coffee gulped down between filing stories.
