Does an okay automatic job if in a hurry but is even better if you barista it. Favourite coffee Silver Oak Coffee CostaRica. Next favourite, Slumber Jack's premium Italian Espresso.

Did you know that Mormons consider coffee to be 'strong drink' and taboo? You do not, apparently, get into their temple if you partake of the Devil's drink. It also applies to green tea, oh, and vaping.

[EDIT]
Apparently there was more truth to my joke about "The Devil's Drink" than I realised. When coffee was first brought to Christian Europe it was viewed with great suspicion and was seen as the drink of the Muslims. Known as “Satan’s drink.”

More past religious clap trap!
