I love everything about coffee.

I love the smell of it, rich and dark and layered with nuance.
I love the ritual that goes into making a cup, be it the awkward sleepy first cup of the day, when just waking up is the main priority, or the careful measured cup in the evening, made to be savored.

I love the sound the coffee maker makes when the pot is done brewing, that happy little gurgle that reminds me of laughter.

I love the feel of the oil that gets on my fingers when I'm grinding the beans. That slippery, rich smelling sheen that means the beans are fresh and wonderful and promises a lustrous crema soon to come.

And I love it even more when it's free.

Thomas Coffee is offering free samples of their fine product – maybe you live near one of their stores, and if you do then you already know how seriously they take their craft. If not, then you're in for a treat. Thomas takes an inordinate amount of pride in their product, and they've earned it. I have never once, in all my coffee-loving days, had a bad cup of joe from Thomas Coffee.

Pure. Bliss.
