Those who have known me for any length of time know that I am not usually a coffee person. I will once in a while have a Mocha or some such from a fancy coffee shop when at a Book club or what but usually even then stick to hot coco. That has all changed. I know insert gasps and looking to see if Satan is ice skating here. On a wild hair when we were shopping a few weeks ago I decided to get some Gevalia Chocolate Mocha coffee grind. I don’t know why I decided to get it, but I did the theory is well if I don’t drink it I know who will so it won’t go to waste. The man loves coffee and will drink any kind without grudge. Even as I was purchasing it I was saying, “I know I am not going to like it”, I just don’t like coffee. I LOVE the smell though which is why every once in a while I get a wild hair to try something.
The Gevalia sat..and sat a while longer while I eyeballed the bag. Then one particularly rainy and chilly day I said alright it is time to try it. I followed the directions on the bag and brewed up a lovely smelling pot. Well now what? I mused well duh make up a cup. So I poured, decided two sugars and a splash of milk would be to my liking and with trepidation took my first sip. Now there was not fireworks or angels singing or any of that but my taste buds said “CHOCOLATEY GOODNESS”. I was sold. This is by far the most enjoyable cup of coffee I have ever had. I enjoyed the first sip to the last sip, and have had more then one cup now to know for sure that I do like it and it was not just a fluke. I finally see what all the coffee drinkers enjoyed so much!
That is not to say I think I will like all coffee now and suddenly become some big coffee expert but hey I found one I like and it is a good thing.
Three cheers for a Cup of Johan.
