5 Things About Me & Coffee

1. My Favorite Coffee: Kicking Horse Coffee. Nothing else compares. This is definitely our favorite cup of Joe. We only drink the mild roasts, and usually we mix it up. It's expensive, but every now and then it goes on sale at Save on Foods so then we stock up.

2. My favorite Coffee Shop: I'm a cough up. I LOVE Starbucks. I love hanging out there. I love the baristas at my local stores.

4. How I drink my coffee: mild, 3 cream, 2 sugars.
