Personally speaking, a hot steaming cup of coffee does wonders in helping me get that much-needed boost in the morning. Without it, I feel like I'm not prepared for the tasks that lay ahead of me. I bet that a lot of us out there feel that way, too. It doesn't even have to be the morning cup of coffee. It can be that cup later on in the day just to add a spring to my step. Long story short, coffee is indispensable to my work day.
Coffee and I have a storied history together. My earliest memory of it has to do with this particular brand of candies. Specifically the coffee flavored ones that came in a tall brown box. Since I wasn't allowed to drink coffee as a kid, these were the next best thing. These candies were made even sweeter by the fact that they were coffee-flavored, which almost felt like taboo to me.
