Wild Blueberry, Raspberry Chocolate Truffle, German Chocolate Cake. Nope, these are not ice cream selections from the freezer at the grocery store; these are the flavors of coffees in my cupboard. Coffee used to be a simple beverage, but it's gotten fairly complicated. I hark back to my childhood when Grandma had an aluminum coffee pot that sat on her stove. She had to first heat water in a tea kettle and then pour it into the coffee pot's reservoir, and the hot water seeped through the grounds and into the pot below. This method was phased out and replaced by an electric percolator, which was followed by the Mr. Coffee-type drip coffeemaker, and now we are making single cups of coffee thanks to a company named Keurig. My first trip to a Starbucks made my head spin. I didn't know what an americana was, nor was I familiar with a latte, espresso or macchiato. I didn't know that the clerk behind the counter was called a barista, and I was puzzled as to why the size choices were Italian words. I decided on a chai tea but mispronounced it when I ordered from the barista and deduced that I needed to read 'Coffee for Dummies.' I started drinking coffee on a regular basis when I was in my 30s, and it took awhile to figure out how exactly I liked it. I tried it black, I tried it with sugar, I tried it with sugar and milk, tried it with just milk before settling on half and half in my coffee. These days I'm a snob when it comes to my coffee as I will drink it only with half and half, and if none is available, I will pass up the coffee. As I anticipate my first cup of morning coffee, I stare bleary eyed at the array of flavors in my cupboard. It's a hard decision to make being that my brain is fuzzy from the night's sleep. Maybe the best thing to do is toss out the fruity coffee flavors and stick with plain ol' joe. If I want raspberry truffle, I'll buy some ice cream.
