    I think I just need to break down and get an espresso machine for my house and stop going to coffee shops. I guess it's all about assigning "class specifications" to coffee. It's got to be an acquied taste, right? Kinda like alcohol. I mean, if you opened a soda store where you served different types of soda and chips and stuff for snacks, you would not get the same coffee shop crowd, even though it's most likely that a glass of your cola product would have the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. It's driving me crazy now when I start to think of coffee and it's associations with that streotypical "cofee person". When you hear "Breakfast Blend" you don't imagin 50 Cent asking for room for cream in that; when you sip a 40oz. of Mickey's, you don't imagine that very moment Martha Stewart could be enjoying a Malt Liquor favorite herself. I guess in the end, coffee is just another option in how you can ingest caffeine.
