I didn't have my first drink of coffee until my sophomore year in
college. I remember thinking "Hey, I could get into this..."
Junior year, I was traveling into San Francisco to a little coffee
shop that sold French and Viennese roast beans for $3.99 a pound, and
running a Braun Aromaster coffee pot for 3-4 pots a day in a group
house - and somehow it held up to the duty cycle of a small diner.
I was a computer science major, and some school resources were
constrained. I took an assembly language course that had 4 modem
ports and 4 terminals in a lab - for close to 100 students. I'd learn
to work all night, go to morning classes and crash for a couple of
hours at noon. Coffee fueled that.
Always black.
Fast forward to today, and my morning routine, as it's been since
1991, is having a cup of coffee before the house wakes up, and
reading a QWK packet.
