Thinking about moving to Seattle and wondering if we really are nuts over our coffee?  It is true!  We are...apparently.  I am usually not in want of a coffee stand because I can find on in Seattle or Seattle suburbs on many active intersection corners.  All of these coffee places have a whole array of drinks they can make me from a normal drip coffee in some places to a latte or mocha or even some whipped frozen varieties.  I take these for granted, I guess.  I shouldn't because it is a real luxury to be able to have your coffee drink exactly how you want it. 

Here is my normal drink:

16 ounce iced soy pumpkin pie sauce latte with only one shot of coffee

My parents live out in a gorgeous but not so "busy" part of Arizona.  It is eight miles to a Starbucks.  I tried to just drink drip this morning and finally started to cave around noon.  You see, in Seattle, by noon I would have had at least two of my special Pumpkin Pie Lattes, and it was getting tough.  At noon I announced that I was going into town to get a latte and my mother said I should try the new little coffee cart at the clubhouse down the street...She even offered to call and see if they had soy milk.  She did to find out that not only did the lady not know what soy milk was, she really didn't offer anything more than the equivalent of a drip coffee...yuck.  I thanked my mother for trying and started out the door again.  My mother then stated that we would be going to dinner in town and that I could get one then....at 5PM. Say What?

Today I realized that I am a true hardcore Seattle coffee drinking snob and I am happy about it.  We don't all drink coffee in Seattle, but people that do drink coffee here are quite accustomed to getting it how they want it and expect nothing less when traveling.  So, if you are thinking about moving here, know that we do drink coffee and we are very proud of our coffee culture!
