To Breakfast Blend

Breakfast Blend,

Truthfully, I have never been a big fan of yours.  Too mild, too acidic, too light, and too weak.  In fact, in my ignorance and disgust, I turned away from you.  My mistake.  Recently, I had the privilege of trying you in a French press.  Oh my goodness!  Upon first taste, I couldn't tell it was you.  In fact, I guessed that it was one of your darker, richer peers.  I was wrong, but happy to be in err.  You were fuller and heavier than I remember; I guess that this can be attributed to your current maturity.  I could tell that you were trying your best to amaze me.   Your toned-down acidity and heavier mouth-feel left me appreciating your slight change of heart.

Here's to new things,

P.S.  Try pairing up with blackberry jam on toast.

To Level 1 Seattle's Best

Level One Seattle's Best,

You were bright and beautiful at first.  As soon as your piping hot liquid hit my pallet, I had a good feeling in the pit of my stomach.  It wasn't too long afterward, however, when I realized your immaturity.  Maybe a few years ago, I would have been smitten by you.  Now, however, I realize that a coffee like you isn't memorable.  I like how you can let me go, though.

I don't want you to stay,

Me

P.S. Try pairing up with a Kellog's Eggo Real Fruit Pizza (Strawberry Granola).
