The ideal cup of coffee should be:
“Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love”. ~Prince Talleyrand (1754-1839)
Give me a man who drinks good, hot, dark, strong coffee for breakfast!
A man who smokes a good, dark, fat cigar after dinner!
You may marry your milk-faddist, or your anti-coffee crank, as you will!
But I know the magic of the coffee pot!
Let me make my Husband’s coffee–and I care not who makes eyes at him!
Give me two matches a day-
One to start the coffee with, at breakfast, and one for his cigar, after dinner!
And I defy all the houris in Christendom to light a new flame in his heart! ~Helen Rowland, What Every Wife Knows
If this is coffee, please bring me some tea. But if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.” ~Abraham Lincoln
A person has the right to complain about the coffee when he finds grounds for it in his cup.
Few things establish a hostess’ reputation more quickly for fine entertaining than the coffee she serves.”
~Song of Mary~
