Down to 40 cups a day
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2003In Monday’s Dilbert, Wally is sent to a Coffee Rehab Program that promises to get him down to 40 cups a day:
That used to be me! I love coffee. I have loved it for a long time. I even have a special poster of my favorite coffee brand (Kaladi Bros.) framed and hanging on my home office wall. I can tell the different varieties by taste, and I am picky about which roaster is used to roast the coffee I drink. I despise Starbucks coffee, but drink it all the time anyway because at least it is consistently bad. Peet’s, on the other hand, is wildly inconsistent in its roasting quality. Sometimes it’s very good, but often it’s horribly burnt. Thus, I avoid it.
(Note: as of a much later date, 4/20/2008, I no longer have such a bad opinion of Peet’s.)
But, recently, and for no particular reason other than a desire to drink more water (which is another topic I will save for later), I have dramatically decreased my coffee intake. I used to drink a pot or two a day! For years! It’s the passing of an era that has happened very subtly. Weird. Anyway, I thought I’d share that. And, hopefully, Wally will survive coffee rehab!
