“I like my coffee black as the devil…”
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009“I like my coffee black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.”
-French statesman Talleyrand (1754-1838)
Quote: "I Like Coffee So Much That I Have Tea…"
Saturday, October 24th, 2009“I like coffee so much that I have tea for breakfast: The first cup of the day in particular is so good that I’m afraid I won’t be able to properly appreciate it when I am half-asleep. Therefore, I celebrate it two hours later when I am fully conscious.”
-Christoph Niemann, Abstract City Blog – New York Times
I came across this quote yesterday on Christoph Niemann’s Abstract City Blog, posted on the New York Times’ web site. Many people use coffee to help wake them up, but it appears Neimann looks at the all-important morning coffee in a different light, and I’m with him. Coffee doesn’t wake me up, or keep me awake for that matter; I drink it because I love the taste of coffee.
Although the date posted on his blog is from back in December, 2008, this was pretty creative and entertaining. As I began looking through his other entries on Abstract City Blog, I found out I like not just his coffee stuff, but his other work too. This led to a Google search, which quickly resulted in me discovering his personal web site, http://www.ChristophNiemann.com/. So after you get done checking out his coffee page, go visit his personal site. It’s worth the time.
