COOOFFEE!!!!

I love coffee. This is not a secret facet of my personality as I sit here with my Venti.
I love good coffee, life is too short for bad coffee.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like tea too. We're a good English/Irish/Scottish family, we drink tea. But tea is a night time thing. On the porch during a thunderstorm. When somebody dies, make a pot of tea and dig out the rum.
Coffee however, is a morning thing. It's dawn on that same front porch getting ready for a road trip. It's "I've been up all night doing god knows what and it's time to pay the piper and go to work".
For me, coffee is social. I like to get the girls together for the occasional "sip n bitch". With the girls sometimes we sip wine. But more often we hang out at Starbucks till the staff, oh so politely kicks us out.Usually at closing time. After we've been there for five hours or so.
I love the smell of coffee. It smells like home, and fun and laughter.
I love hot coffee in the winter, I love to wrap my hands around a hot mug of coffee when there's frost on the ground.
Coffee is cultural. Would Canada BE Canada without our sea to shining sea Tim Horton's?
 Would Italy be the same if you DIDN'T have to have  four years of  training and a License to  be a Barrista? Probably not.
I know Every place to get good coffee in this county. As a visiting nurse you need to know these things...it's a job requirement.
In Belleville, always Starbucks. These guys know me by name, drink, mood. Fantastic staff. Sweet escapes downtown is also fantastic.
In Trenton, the Grind. Also, fantastic desserts.
In Centre Hastings it's "Amazing Coffee in Madoc. The name says it all. Ask for a maple latte. You won't be disappointed
Stirling Has West Wings and the Bakery. But they also have Jenny's country lane. Now Jenny doesn't do the coffee drinks but her perk has never been bad.
Bancroft. Well, Bancroft doesn't have any Coffee Bar type places that I know of. They have two Tim Horton's which will do quite nicely. What they DO have is the Bancroft Bed and Breakfast. I stay with the Wishlows every time I'm in the 'croft. Never once had a bad breakfast or bad cup of coffee with Ken and Kathy.
I have a co worker who is opening a B+B in Frankford. Joe and I have frequently discussed the need for top notch coffee at a B&B. I am confident, since Joe is a smart man, that J+J's B+B will be above average in the coffee department.
