The hot brown liquid served by most restaurants and coffee shops doesn't actually even qualify as proper coffee. Then again, I'm super spoiled never having to drink coffee ground more than 2 minutes prior to brewing, nor roasted more than 5 days prior to grinding. > I usually skip the cookies myself.
