Nothing will match the pure elegance of the coffee bean. Save, perhaps,
coffee beans lavishly coated in deep, dark chocolate, and kept in the
freezer.
One must, however, exercise restraint.
I learned the hard way -- not one to do much of anything half-way, my first
taste involved a large handful.
I was awake for a month, I think.
Does anyone else find their tolerance for coffee abating at some point? For
20 years I was an entire pot (4 very large mugs) of coffee a day person.
One day a few months ago I sort of just forgot to brew the coffee and I've
drunk maybe 6 cups since. I don't miss it, which possibly should scare me.
