Hello Fans and Followers! =)

Here's a post about the coffee we've been trying while we're over here. As all of you either know or do not know, we are coffee drinkers. We LIKE coffee. Not for any caffeine high or other such rumor. No, we like the taste, the aroma, and the warmth. Not to mention that cups of coffee promote fellowship and good conversation with others.

In America, coffee brewed at home is wonderful. Here in Australia we've had some of the most delicious homemade coffee ever, made by John Robertson. He has an excellent system of grinding the coffee in an old fashioned Italian grinder, boiling delicious Australian rain water, combining the two and setting them to brew. While that's taking place, he heats full-cream-milk on the stove and whisks it 'til it's foamy. Pour coffee and milk into large mugs and you got the most fantastic, piping-hot latte with froth on top. Oh, my. And if you want you can spoon some cane sugar crystals in, but it's amazing as is.

Budget-allowing, we also enjoy trying the coffee that cafes have to offer. In America some favorites are Starbucks and Tim Hortons. Here in Australia we've tried Gloria Jeans, and a local deli/cafe. (Pictures above) We've found their coffee to be very tasty indeed.

In case you're wondering, we DO like coffee black. But when you're going to spend a chunk of change on something from a cafe, we generally splurge and get a coffee that's full of chocolate and other things. =)

Calories don't count down here. As a wise John Walton once said.
