Morning joe

There is something very satisfying about making one's own coffee - in our case - lattes - in the morning. Typically we use Trader Joe's fair trade organic five country espresso blend, but if we run out, it's over to Target (since they have later hours) to pick up something like Archer Farms french roast. If you have time (and a coffee grinder, of course) it is well worth it to grind your beans and brew your own java. There is a simple satisfaction that it bring us every morning. Of course, there are times when we are out of milk (or Silk - that my boyfriend likes) so it's off to Dutch Brothers on Scottsdale Road and McDowell (see the blue insulated mug).
