Coffee is one of the few staples we are not, upon pain of legal separation or at least a really bad scolding, allowed to run out of at home. Especially after four days of record-level ice and snow, it was a wise fellow (this one) that planned ahead.

One thing I've always appreciated about our local international coffee megacorp is that they have to have an especially bad/malicious barista on staff that day to produce anything but a thoroughly standardized cup. (I know this both from experience as customer and Behind The Counter) It reaches no celestial heights, but in a world of uncertainty, Has Something Going For It.
