"Actually, this seems to be the basic need of the human heart in nearly every great crisis — a good hot cup of coffee." — Alexander King
Being humans, we experience the greatest of all crises each morning when the alarm clock sharply pierces our minds and ears awake as the rest of our bodies just don't seem to cooperate. If it weren't for the promise of a heroic, hot cup of coffee each day, nothing would be successfully able to pull me from the comfort of my bed. In reflecting upon my excessive and dramatic use of coffee, I did some thinking and realized I definitely qualify as a coffee addict. That being said, I've made a list of sure signs of coffee addiction.
1. You need a pre-coffee cup of coffee
You know you're addicted when you need a first cup of coffee before you can really be awake enough to enjoy your second cup of coffee.
2. Coffee shops are your happy place
3. You are especially attracted to other coffee drinkers
4. You know blended drinks or frappuccinos should never be called "coffee"
It isn't even close to the same thing. It's not even on the same level let alone the same planet.
5. You see drinking coffee as a sacred ritual and know it must be taken seriously
6. You know a "tall blonde with a red eye" is not a description of your next-door neighbor
7. You can easily drink two cups of coffee and immediately take a nap
8. You get headaches if you don't consume coffee at the same time each day
9. You believe your coffee loves you back
Hope you all enjoyed this! Let's celebrate in the solidarity among coffee addicts. As Abdul-Qadir says, "Coffee is the common man’s gold, and like gold, it brings to every person the feeling of luxury and nobility."
