Even if you don’t consider yourself a “morning person,” we all have parts of our morning routine that we deem indispensible. For some it’s reading the paper or watching the news, while for others it’s as simple as quickly running a comb through their hair and brushing their teeth. There are a growing number of people, however, who simply can’t function without their morning cup of coffee—and I’m one of them.
Every night before I go to bed, I set my automatic espresso machine so that their will be a freshly brewed cup of Joe waiting for me when I descend downstairs. Once I have some caffeine pulsing through my veins, I am able to make the kids’ lunches and get all of the other items we’ll need for the day in place. Some people may see this caffeine fixation as a crutch, but thanks to the automatic settings on my machine, it doesn’t impede me at all.
