• Cheap Trick: Cold-Brew Your Coffee

  [Photo via] Yesterday, I had a fan set up three feet from me so that I could enjoy my morning coffee. The day before, I stuck a freshly brewed pot of coffee in the fridge for an hour before pouring it over ice that still immediately melted. Then my friend Charlotte — who always seems to have her finger on the pulse of everything — sent me this New York Times article about cold-brewed coffe. Read More...

• The Coffee Mug That Keeps Going

  As a commuter, I'm a big fan of travel mugs for my coffee, to insure that I arrive at work with my eyes open and don't end up falling asleep at my desk and get transported to the '90's with my old-timey computer like this guy. But what's worse than missing your on-the-road caffeine fix is ending up with a mug that's half-full of cold coffee halfway into your commute. That's why I love this mug:   Read More...

• Cheap Trick: Awakened with a Kiss

  I know that Sleeping Beauty is supposed to be romantic and stuff, but what about morning breath? And who said I wanted to be woken up anyway? I probably didn't.

• Your Perfect Cup of Coffee

  I'm very particular about my coffee, preferring to drink a Bavarian chocolate blend from Gourmet Garage. When I can't get to NYC, I settle for Newman's Own coffee: Nell's Breakfast Blend.

• Midnight Munchies

  [Photo via] This is so not cool. The other day, I happened to have coffee in the early evening, and then was unable to fall asleep that night. I tossed and turned for hours and, eventually, my tummy started rumbling. Another roadblock to sweet, sweet sleep. I ate two string cheese. I tossed and turned some more. It was a miserable night.

• Is It Real, Or Is It Decaf?

  I actually injested no caffeine for about four years in college (yeah, I know), which is a fact my current, four cups of the strongest joe around current self continues to laugh, and laugh about.

• 5 Reasons I'm So Addicted to Coffee

  The coffee I buy smells faintly of chocolate...and who wouldn't love having that smell hovering around all day?

Going out for a cup of coffee is the perfect fall-back plan. A freshly-poured cup keeps my hands warm... ...though it sometimes also scalds me, if I'm not careful. Solution: Read More...

• The Perfect Cup

  Earlier today, I offhandedly mentioned my conversion magnets. I use them to convert from ounces to pounds and whatnot when I'm cooking. I've always thought they were way cool, and perfect for a math-tard like myself. Apparently, Amco — the makers of these magnets — have got my back, and not just when it comes to whipping up a well-balanced dinner... Read More...

• Welcome To My Morning

  Well, good morning! Welcome to my weekday routine. I may look alert in that last frame, but it's usually followed by 15 minutes of laying motionless with my eyes closed, willing time to move backwards, often still clutching my coffee cup. I'll never be a morning person, but maybe I can have a cheerier caffeine buzz with this: Read More...

• The Tea Diaries

  Dear Diary, Remember when I said I would try to give up coffee and switch to tea? Well, it's not going so well. For a few days, I was able to resist the smooth, dark taste of my Columbian roast, but then things got a bit hectic in my life and, well, tea just wasn't cutting the muster. I needed something that didn't just perk me up, it pushed me forward. And so I caved — shoved my tea bags to the bag of the cabinet and quietly brewed my coffee every morning in shameful delight. But then I saw this red berry teapot and wondered, "Hmm...could I? Could I convert, after all?" Probably not entirely, but I sure could have a pretty teapot to admire. Read More...

• Set Up a Caffeine Drip

  Now that I no longer commute into an office, both my days and my evenings are spent at my computer, and though my booty is parked into my chair for innumerable hours every day, the work seems to be endless. Perhaps if I didn't need to leave my desk for such pesky distractions as peeing, eating, and brewing more coffee, things would seem more manageable. Obviously, I need a dorm-sized fridge next to my desk. And a catheter. And this desktop coffee maker: Read More...

• Wake Up and Smell the Coffee

  My day hasn't officially started until I've had my coffee---which usually means that the first hour of my day, before I have a beloved cup of Dunkin' Donuts in my hand, is spent grumpy and half asleep.
