What Brought This Up?

This weekend I drank what could possibly have been the worst cup of coffee I've ever had in my life. What's even more disturbing is that I'm the one who made it.

If you're at all like me, you consider the trip to the local coffee house to be one of the highlights of your week. Depending on a person's finances, a trip to Starbucks, The Human Bean, or one of the many chain or local coffee houses can be something of a daily ritual. For some, the thought of a delicious cup of coffee is the one and only thing offering the motivation needed to get out of bed in the morning.
