My wife and I have discovered a local brand of iced coffee at the supermarket, with NO SUGAR, so we have two of those each morning on the couch chatting about the silliness of the coming day, and state of the world. She then makes a pot of coffee that I hit a couple of times during the morning.
Getting to hang out with your wife first thing in the morning over coffee and talk sounds amazing. It's nice that you found a local brand to support every day, too.
Iced coffee always feels blasphemous to me even in the hottest part of summer, except if it's Vietnamese iced coffee. Not sure why.
Yeh it's a nice way to start each day. We look forward to them.. Normally I'm a long black man, but the iced coffee (let's face it, its just a shot of coffee or two with a bunch of milk) is a nice change the black coffees I smash out from 0800 to 1030ish.
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

It's not Coffee Club, rather Coffee Shop.... Being an absolutley insanely big Jane's Addiction fan, and having my impressionable years corrupted by Blood Sugar Sex Magik I was f'n stoked when Dave Navarro joined the RHCP. Unlike a lot of #REALFANZ I absolutely loved and love what Dave brought to the band. His non-funk background brought another rock/almost-metal facet to what's really a one-trick-pony band (c'mon, you know it's true - nothing against Froosh and Josh).
So anyway, if you feel like something a bit different with your next morning coffee, have a listen, a really good HARD listen to the way the bass and guitars (yes plural) interact and play with and against each other. Dave and Flea are really amazing together. The second video is an almost instrumental version of the song, you can hear the vox mixed right down.
I hope some of you get to enjoy this.

"Instrumental" version (lol what is that intro??):

To those people who march frantically down the street holding a cup of coffee in front of them while tipping their head right back to try to sip the contents out through that ridiculously small hole in the plastic lid that always has a raised rough bit of plastic that scratches the tip of your nose while you scroll through your emails on your phone which are too small to read but you can't put your glasses on because then you won't be able to see where you're walking and anyway the steam from that stupid small hole mists them up & you can't even taste that crazily overpriced coffee because everyone knows that you need your nose to taste as well as your mouth but you've got that plastic lid on which has the ♻️ recyclable symbol on but you question whether it really is recyclable & not just a marketing ploy as you tip your head back one last time to suck out the last remaining remnants of that coffee that you couldn't taste and splutter on the gritty remnants of ground coffee beans that are stuck to you teeth... ...to those people....STOP!....take the lid off....enjoy the coffee...the taste...the aroma...slow down...and use punctuation when you type messages.

A masterpiece. I always end up with a brown nose tip from my travel mug flap. I like the way you think!

I hate those things. I hate that the coffee is so scaldingly hot that you have to let it cool down to your "right" temperature before you can drink it. I hate that the wait to get it to that right temperature negates the point of the lid on the disposable cup - you buy it with that on there so you can walk and sip, not wait and then walk and sip. I hate when people mock the $1.00 7-Eleven coffees without even trying them. I hate when people mock the $1.00 7-Eleven coffees because cheap is obviously bad... (is it?) I hate that when I say to them "Is your four to five dollar 'barista' made coffee always of a consistent calibre and quality, or do you sometimes/often get a terrible coffee from your coffee shop, but it's somehow better than a one dollar machine made coffee?" and they shrug and mumble something stupid like "but a person made it", even though a lot of the time, it's awful. Actually I don't hate that, I like that because it shows how dumb they are!

This makes me laugh. I fix my coffee at home every morning. My husband is too good for coffee from home and buys his latte every day. I feel morally superior. ETA: My husband could even get FREE human-made fancy coffee every day he’s in the office from one of the fancy espresso bars at The Circle by Dave Eggers, I mean that creepy tech company he works for. Why he doesn’t makes me crazy!!

hahah maybe it's that thing where something made by someone else is or seems better? I know when my wife makes me even the simplest thing, like a fried egg on toast or even just peanut butter on toast, it's always better than when I make it, but it's literally the same thing!
Maybe love is the special sauce. Better keep an eye on the prettyyoungthing making his coffee!!!

Lol, most of the pretty young things making his coffee are bearded, hipster men. But that's so sweet the things your wife makes you seem better to you! That is the power of love.
