Ah, coffee. It’s such an accepted vice these days, it’s even spawned its very own “live, laugh, love”-style culture, complete with cringe-making merch (T-shirts reading: “Just give me coffee and no one gets hurt!”; mugs with slogans like: “First I drink the Coffee, then I do the Things!” – you get the picture).
While I’ve never gone so far as to partake in the caffeine equivalent of an “It’s wine o’clock somewhere!” bit of tat, coffee has, for me, always remained steadfast as one of the low-key joys that make daily life worth living.
