I didn’t start drinking real coffee until college. My friends and I got super serious about it. Once we went to a barista competition in Santa Cruz and it was a really big deal. Occasionally, I’ll go into a fancy coffee shop and ask questions about the espresso just because I know what I like and don’t like. On a regular basis, the coffee I drink is cheap and simple but it does the trick. Guess that means I am truly addicted.
Daniel is one of my good friends, and he is also a coffee connoisseur. You may know him as Stephanie‘s husband (remember when I blogged five times about their wedding?). Dan loves coffee, and so does Steph. They recently got an espresso maker, so I’m going to invite myself over one of these days for lavender lattes. :) Dan’s birthday was back in July, but…gifts are not just for birthdays and holidays, right? Right.

Hold on, can we talk about that squirrel for a second?? I’m thinking that I should buy it very soon. The best part about that Etsy shop is that there are multiple watercolor squirrels holding coffee cups.
Are you a big coffee drinker, or do you prefer tea? Or neither? You’re a strong, strong person if that’s the case. ;)

I don’t drink coffee, I’m much more of a tea person :) BUT my bf loves coffee and I love that you made this post for ‘the guy who loves coffee’ – so perfect!! I love the squirrel print and the Harry Potter cozy!

I didn’t drink coffee until a few years ago. A local restaurant gave away free coffee if you voted, so I went with my family. I was going to give mine to one of them, but I tried it and actually liked it. I think it had a lot of milk and wasn’t too strong. I started drinking it more often and now I love strong coffee too. I only drink it occasionally though. I don’t feel any effect after drinking coffee. My boyfriend gets jittery if he drink more than one cup.

This is an awesome collection for guys. And I too, love coffee, but didn’t start drinking it until my mid 20’s. Now, no morning is complete without several cups of coffee. :) Lavender latte’s… never had one, sounds divine!

Ohhhh, I need #1 and #6! I love both coffee, and tea. My coffee is taken with two splenda and loads of creamer, my tea with two splenda. I also love a good chai latté, which I personally feel is the perfect mix of everything!
