Losing My Addiction

I haven't had a good cup of coffee in two weeks. At least I haven't had a cup of coffee that I've enjoyed in two weeks. This is a big deal. I'm a many multiple cups of coffee per day kind of guy.

The strange thing is that it doesn't matter where I get my coffee. It could be coffee I make at home, it could be at Starbucks or it could be at a fun little French restaurant on Capitol Hill. It all tastes bad.

Either my tastes are changing or something tragic has happened to all the coffee beans in Colorado and DC.

I'll try again tonight, hopefully at Central, a new restaurant from Michel Richard. The website says they take walk ins which is good because the website also says they don't have an open reservation until June 19th.

  3. Hey Carter - it's Eddie from Madison (Liz's boyfriend)!

    If you email me your home address, I'll send you an interesting bag of coffee beans from a new roaster in Madison.

    They use a different kind of roasting technique (not the typical drum roaster which only heats the beans from the bottom). It's a little too complicated for me to explain eloquently, but they excel in producing highly complex light roasts. Personally, I'm a dark roast fan, but I found their coffee to be very flavorful, very well balanced with long finishes (opposite of the typical bitter "Foldgers" finish). I'm sure their website does a better job explaining...

    I will get you back on the wagon...or is it off the wagon...?

    Hope all is well - let us know when you're back in Madison!
