Coffee is my closest frenemy - a crucial ally, though I resent my dependence on it.
It's such a fixture that when I collect my preschooler from daycare and we discuss our days, one of his mandatory questions is how many cups I drank (four or five, on average). In the last picture he drew of me, my distinguishing characteristics were my iPhone in one hand and a coffee cup in the other.
I won't drink instant except in emergencies but nor am I a snob who requires single-origin beans pre-digested by a civet cat and cold brewed over 12 hours. I'm a gourmand rather than a gourmet - give me a large plunger and I'm happy.
I'm expecting giving up coffee for a week to be painful, at least initially, but I'm also hoping I'll find it liberating to be freed from a substance I've come to rely on so heavily.
