Make drip coffee through a gold filter into a thick ceramic cup first thing when wake up.

Been doing this since mid 70s.

Moved to Berkeley for university in December 1973. Several blocks away there was a coffee store on the corner of Walnut and Vine. Bought by telephone order for decades.

Still drink Peet's coffee when can. Have a large sack of Organic French Roast one of my neighbors bought for me last Sunday.
