i love you so so
so so so so so so so
so so so so much

This is my order:
Any drink that doesn't taste
Like coffee at all.

I used to work at Food52. I'm probably the person who picked all of the cookie dough out of the cookie dough ice cream.

My dull sleepy mind
Pour over grounds smell aroma
First sip- instant jolt!

Charles C. October 6, 2014

Friday afternoon
We sip the fresh brewed coffee
And dream of escape.

MandiFran September 28, 2014

We like the brew cool
With ice cubes in a "go cup"
That's how NOLA rolls

David September 28, 2014

My life in a fog
Right hand grabs a heavy mug
Dark roast rouses me

Meghan September 27, 2014

The usual please;
medium cafe au lait
to get through my day.

Kim G. September 27, 2014

Coffee oh coffee
The first great morning taste
Strong and full flavored
You are a taste of home

mrslarkin September 26, 2014

Thank you, Whole Foods man
For suggesting the French Roast.
It has rocked my world.

Sharlyn P. September 26, 2014

A true companion
To clasped hands in fall's first rain
One café au lait

Tyrone M. September 26, 2014

delicious coffee
nectar of the working class
Decaf? Not for me!

Sarah J. September 26, 2014

Why is there decaf?
In my opinion, that
Defeats the whole point.

even on hot days
I look forward to your smell
not true for all folks

Vivi B. September 26, 2014

The comfort and solitude
of the morning ritual.
The steaming mug.

Emi B. September 26, 2014

i shouldn't drink you;
you make me so jittery,
but you smell so good.

RENEE September 26, 2014

double latte no
foam extra pumpkin syrup
make it a triple

i thought i told you
my name is renee but this
says, maybe, rainy?

Indira @. September 26, 2014

I can't live with you
Blood pressure and acid pain
But can't live without.

em-i-lis September 26, 2014

hubs brings me latte
milky heart resembles butt
still, i love and drink

Sarah J. September 26, 2014

This is almost too cute: "milky heart resembles butt"

Catherine L. September 26, 2014

A cappuccino
When I feel fancy. Sorry
wallet. Next time drip.

em-i-lis September 26, 2014

love this!
