Coffee Alchemy

When I get to work in the morning I make my coffee (Hazelnut, 2 k-cups, half-and-half and sugar) the same way every day. The same number of sugars in the same cup. We even always use the same BRAND of half-and-half.

So why does it taste better on some days than others?

Today it was an okay day. My coffee tasted pretty good. But I have had days where it was like liquid ambrosia. Where the coffee goodness exploded in my mouth like a punch of awesomeness.

Is that normal? To have the same thing be awesome some days and pretty good on other days? I suspect it might be.

My theory is that on the stupendous-flavor-caressing-my-taste-buds days my internal chemistry is more tuned to the coffee’s inherent deliciousness.

Should that happen every day? Would I want to have a taste-flavor-combustion-engine thing happen every day? Or is it better to have the fleeting wondrous-winning-mouth-watering coffee experience – that way I appreciate it all the more?

These are rhetorical questions.

Tonight – as soon as I leave the office – I am going to see the newest Hunger Games Movie, Catching Fire. I will not be drinking coffee.
