Coffee is a drink worth famously savoring

The first time, years ago now, I stepped outside my workplace to see what the new coffee shop across the street was all about, I thought I was going on a one-off adventure.  

I drink coffee, sure, but for me it’s a breakfast thing. The first cup and a half are fine, but after that, coffee’s about as appealing as liquid in a Styrofoam cup someone had left on the curb by the bus stop. 

I had heard about coffee drinks, though, the way you hear about other trends that start in places where you aren’t and gradually make their way to your own neighborhood.  

Bell-bottom jeans were like that, way back when bell bottoms were as exotic as frilly pantaloons or those plague doctor outfits with the beaked masks. I saw bell bottoms first at church camp, the place where many young people begin to discover the world. Within a year, they were as common as shoes with chunky heels.
