Happy International Coffee Day

We usually start everyday with a mugga 1820 brand coffee. Nancy is up first – and she gets things going to make what the Mr. Coffee says is 8 cups. Between our two mugs, there isn’t much left over.  I use her “F*** Off, I’m Knitting” mug – it’s huge.

Here’ are some facts about coffee that you can use to amuse and amaze your friends.

• There is a coffee “bean-belt.” It only grows in area between the Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer.
