Coffee Addict Den

© Succession H. Matisse

Is not coffee best taken in a semi-recumbent position after having been poured expertly from a great height? Shouldn't the imbibing ritual be performed idly? Would it not be better for the guest to decide when the coffee ceases to flow to the cup?

If all this is true, then please tell me why would we line up to purchase a specific portion of coffee, through enforced use of the vendor's coffee idiom, only to be ushered to another line after making considerable advance payment, to sort and retrieve the coffee from where it may have been left, and if sussessful, seek to retreat to the nearest corner of the premises not overflowing with last weeks newspapers ?

Coffee drinkers unite - demand coffee cart baristas !
