I’ve been going through all kinds of coffee to really figure out what I like, who and how it is roasted, where it’s grown etc… I know a little over board, however I like to know what is going into my body and WHAT TASTES THE BEST!
A History Steeped in Tradition
Coffee’s journey began centuries ago in Ethiopia, where legend has it that a goat herder named Kaldi discovered its energizing effects after his goats consumed coffee berries. From there, coffee traveled to the Arabian Peninsula, becoming a staple in social and religious gatherings. By the 17th century, coffee houses were thriving in Europe, serving as hubs for intellectual conversation.
Today, coffee is a global phenomenon, celebrated in countless cultures and forms, from the strong espresso shots of Italy to the rich, creamy lattes of Australia.
The Aroma and Flavor That Draw Us In
One of the most enchanting aspects of coffee is its aroma. The smell of freshly brewed coffee can awaken the senses and create an instant sense of comfort. Its flavor is equally captivating—earthy, nutty, fruity, or chocolaty, depending on the bean and roast.
Every cup is a journey of discovery, with subtle nuances that vary by origin, blend, and brewing method.

For many, coffee is more than a beverage; it’s a cherished ritual:
- Morning Routine: That first cup signals the start of the day, providing energy and focus.

A Simple Pleasure That Transforms Your Day
At its core, coffee is a simple pleasure that can brighten even the dullest day. It’s a source of comfort during tough times, a way to celebrate life’s victories, and a companion for quiet moments of reflection.
Recently a girlfriend told me about her grandma, and how she always mixed brown sugar into the coffee grounds! I did try this and oh my it is delicious! I then tried Brown Sugar and Nutmeg, absolutely no words! So rich, perfect fall treat, definitely couldn’t do this everyday but oh my there are some great coffee variations!
But in our house our daily go to is Luke’s Diner Coffee!
So, the next time you hold a steaming cup of coffee, take a moment to appreciate the journey it represents—from the farm where it was grown to the care that went into brewing it. Cheers to coffee, the beloved beverage that brings joy, warmth, and connection to our lives!
