For more than a year, a little white coffee maker sat in a corner on my kitchen
counter, used only when my parents visited. I have been a coffee nut
for well over a decade now; however, I only drank coffee that was made
for me by a Starbucks barista. What can I say? I have expensive taste!
With several gift cards after my wedding, I bought a Keurig. It was
fun at first, but after trying dozens of different K-cups, I couldn't
get the instant coffee taste out of my mouth. I sold my Keurig and
bought a brand new small coffee maker (the old-fashioned kind) for $5
at a junk store. I began using it more as I realized how much money
I'd been spending at Starbucks.
Then came baby.
Coffee made at home became my routine because I could no longer run
out to Starbucks any time I wanted. Who knew that I really could make
it taste just like a barista-made drink?! My routine during the first
few weeks with Vaught consisted of preparing my coffee grounds in the
maker at nighttime, then I would run into the kitchen and start my
coffee when Vaught woke up. By the time I fed him a bottle and
rocked him back to sleep, my coffee was hot and ready, and I enjoyed
sipping a homemade latte while watching the sun rise. Making a pot of
coffee is now a must for me and Eric every morning. Eric doesn't
always drink a cup, but he still appreciates knowing that it's there
if he needs it. You really don't have to know me for very long to know
that I am a devoted coffee addict!
And what does every coffee addict need? A personalized coffee mug, of
course!!
I ordered mine exclusively from Tiny Prints!! They had two
different mug sizes and so many styles to choose from! I so badly
wanted to order one with pictures of my family on it but decided I
would wait until we have some professional family photos taken this
March! I chose a vintage-y design with my name in cursive across the
center. You can have it personalized any way you'd like! Most people
know me as Nicole or Kate, but the older I get the more I love being
called Katherine. Plus, I thought the design I chose was so elegant I
wanted Katherine printed on the mug; it sounds more formal :)
