Coffee

Coffee.  Consumer.  Coffee.  Craving granules.  Beans (not baked).  The warm smell.  Moreso, however, the company of coffee rather than the beverage itself.  The sometimes comfortabe sometimes not chairs and conversation.  Made with airborn heat (magic).  The fusion of two (one, the base, the other chosen from a selection) to make such desirable taste.  Something special, a harmony of flavours if paired correctly (perfection, though, can not be achieved).  In addition, though, a uniqueness with each experience.  Individual qualities added if and when individuals require (example: vanilla).  Taste.  Person.  Or possibly coffee, small medium or large, full fat milk or semi-skimmed.  The large coffee being face to face with three sugars, the small is naturally more shallow and the medium, somewhere in the middle of the two.  The flavour of the coffee varies depending on how the ingredients have grown that day and previous one and the previous one.  The smell is rich, richer than before (the richness of the last cup added to this one and all that's between: and probably coffees beforehand and the pending future drinks).  The taste gets fuller and the chairs begin to get more comfy with every visit to the coffee shop.  A regular ritual of little significance to unaware passers by, but of great importance to each drinker.  It has to be done well, not necessarily perfection as mentioned previous, but at the very least as close to it as possible (only a fool would put up with any less).  Note:  If the coffee is not good do not drink it.  Order and sit as time passes.  Drink.  Then leave.  Repeatedly.  Again and again even if it burns your tongue.  Not a physical addiction, but then an addiction that is not a physical one could be discribed as an emotion, perhaps, feeling, perhaps, desire, maybe, to drink coffee from mugs in a muggy room surrounded by people with their own mugs who could be doing, thinking, feeling the same as you.  Feeling of want.  Want of feeling (coffee).  Filling sensation.  Warmth (inside and sometimes out if there is spillage).  Warm when elsewhere isn't.  Desirable at cold times (popular with winter holidays and general chilly weather).  The coffee boy probably suspects the hint of addiction as he may be knowledgeable to the small details, sugar number, et cetera, (it is just as likely, though, that he is not as wise and does not observe, he just serves).
