Before I went to college I hated coffee. I hated the bitter taste, the aroma, and the addicts who drank it. That was before I got a job at a coffee shop. That’s where I was introduced to the beauty of adding chocolate, flavors, and whip cream to make a delicious addictive treat. Now ten years later I am a caffine fiend. My caffinated beverage of choice is a small iced Mocha with an extra shot of espresso. That’s just the right blend of caffine and sweetness.
