how sad that i’m repeating a cup so soon. i even bought a new one yesterday, but just as a home space replacement since i broke the first when i accidentally rammed it into a metal support for the stairs one night as we came home from work.

still the uber delisicious amber espresso. heavens i love living across the bay from a coffee roaster – thanks be to sweet maria’s!

is there even coffee in there? or just a mug? there was: a husband-made cappuccino with micro fine foam. nicely done, hunny!

ah the replacement college mug. this one is usually at home for my get-started cups of coffee, but someone got confused and it spent some time at work. i do love it for shape and holding, also good for ratio and flavor.

three quarters of my mug collection, and i would have to categorize it as a collection since there are so many and so different, is in storage. packed up, waiting to be used again, but what are they complaining about? it’s only been nine months that we’ve been apart. and i’m the one who has to keep using the same mugs over and over and over and over again. so here’s a shot of the foam, which is just as deserving of recognition as the mug itself.

i love to drink coffee in this glass, or any clear glass container, because it is so beautiful when you pour the fluids together. crazy chaotic swirling and always the dancing floating foam! oh espresso and milk how i love thee!

just another fantastic cup of coffee – i think it’s the monkey blend from sweet maria’s – sweet indeed.

like a miniature guinness, without the funny looks from your boss. i dunno, does life get better than believing you’re drinking beer all day long?

the really sad part of this is that i can’t remember any details about these cups: were they delicious? (oh i bet they were!), did i make them? (most likely) how desperately did i need that cup? (pretty damn much)

chances are nothing truly shocking happened, like i knocked the cup over onto the dog resulting in a severely contorted dog as he tried to lick the delectable drink from his fur. i’m pretty sure i would have taken the time then to post the photo immediately.
