coffee + cake = heaven knows how perfect they are for each other

What else is best matched for coffee than a mouth-watering, flavorful, and sweet-looking cake.. though I like them not to be too sweet.  Although coffee can be matched almost to any food, it's really perfect with cakes.  If you have a slice of cake, a delectable chocolate or strawberry or a blueberry cheesecake, you'd say "oh god, this one's perfect with coffee!"  That's what I'd say too!  They're meant to be together! 

The following are gathered in holy matrimony of awesomeness and sheer perfection..

What Coffee Is Right For Me

I can't remember when was the first time I had coffee, but I am pretty sure that I was influenced by my father.  He's a huge coffee drinker and I was his favorite coffee maker.  But I wasn't allowed to taste his coffee while I was making them, that's weird right?  But I was able to give him the perfect taste; it was strong, but not too bitter and not too sweet.  Everything was measured; the right amount of coffee, sugar, and the water must be boiling hot.  He's got huge, thick lips for that. 

That's my father's coffee back then, black and boiling hot.  Now he's pretty much enjoying it with creamer.  I guess I was able to make him try it with creamer, and he haven't requested for black coffee since then. 

I started to hug coffee as my partner in life when I worked on a night shift.  I used to consume up to 5 or was that 6 cups a day or night or whatever just to prevent myself from getting a tap on the back by my boss.  yeahhh many times it happened, but I regret nothing.  :>

My favorite though is brewed coffee.  I guess that's everyone's favorite?  Just by the smell of it, it's so relaxing and hmmm you'll sniff it until it fades out.  Oh, I want to add that the coffee I was making for my father was just the instant coffee you buy at the grocery stores, and actually we also love the 3in1 in sachets.  Every brands has got different tastes and aroma.

I like my coffee to be creamy, not too sweet, and not too hot, but the level of strongness depends on how I need it.  Waking up in the morning and after lunch are the most crucial times of my life, because you know I always get super sleepy after eating, so.. yeah.

What about you?  What do you think is the right coffee for you?


Oh, and while you're thinking, let me share this happy mug for inspiration.  Happy drinking!
