Coffee ... it truly is a gift from heaven. It has the power to alter your mood, give you internal energy, and completely change your day. It is addicting and delicious, and is a necessity to life.

Coffee lovers are a different breed of people. We've tried every kind of coffee, we know what we like and what we hate, and we can distinguish between a good cup of coffee and a horrible one. These special talents make our addiction to coffee all the better, and we use them to our best advantage.

1. When you wake up and realize you have enough money to go to Starbucks for coffee today.

Don't get me wrong, making your own cup of coffee is very satisfactory, and not to mention pretty cheap. Every now and again though, you want something different. So why not save up for a "venti" iced caramel macchiato?

2. Your mood before you drink your coffee.

Please ... no one talk to me.

3. Your mood after you drink your coffee.

Woohoo! I feel like a new person!

4. When people try to convince you that coffee is bad for you, and they tell you to stop drinking it everyday.

... Maybe?

5. But then you wonder how you'd live if you stopped drinking it.

It was a nice try ...

6. When people think you're weird for drinking four cups of coffee everyday.

Whatever gets you through the day, right?

7. When you wake up late and don't have time to get coffee.

The day is basically ruined.

8. When someone asks you if you want coffee.

Of course! Can you make two cups just for me?

9. Always debating whether it's too late to drink coffee.

If I drink it now ..will I still be awake at 3 a.m.? Whatever, it's a risk I'm willing to take.

10. When people ask if you're addicted to coffee.

Yes, yes I am ... and I'm proud.

So sure, you're a coffee lover. Are you addicted? Maybe so. It's okay though, coffee is amazing and only for the best. So who cares what people say ... keep on loving your coffee!
