Coffee on the Patio

There is not a time of year that I don’t enjoy a good cup of coffee on the patio. Whether it’s a mid-winter morning cuppa with my shoulders wrapped in a shawl and my hands wrapped around a warm mug; or a later afternoon summer laté with a frothy, creamy foam; the two main ingredients you need is good coffee and a comfortable lounge chair. We’re always on the lookout for a great cup of coffee, one that we can make at home because we’re definitely not into going to the corner coffee store every day!We like to save our money for more important things!



Our favorite new find is Seattle’s Best - Level 5! It is seriously the very best coffee you can make at home. It’s bold, dark and intense without any bitterness, and as smooth as silk with or without creamer. I think the only coffee I’ve ever tasted that can even compare is the Kona Peaberry coffee from the Pele Plantation on the Big Island. Buyer beware, Seattle’s Best Level 5 is a bit pricey (as is Kona Peaberry) and hard to find, so if you see it on sale, stock up!

I was in Tennessee this past September to visit my son and daughter-in-love and grand angels. The weather was unusually perfect, which apparently only happens a couple of times a year in that part of the country. I started each day in the balmy 78 degree morning air, and enjoyed a cup of coffee or two while sitting out on the front porch on the most comfortable teak lounge chairs! They had aged to a spectacular silvery gray and had deep cushions and a headrest pillow. A teak side table was conveniently set between each chair so I could put my coffee down each time one of the little ones came over for a hug or snuggle. Those mornings, I was definitely in my happy place.

I especially liked the country-style living which includes large front yards where the kids and dogs can romp, and neighbors rode by on their bikes and waved to me … something I’m definitely not used to!

For me, it’s all about carving out a few moments of time and creating memories that will last a forever. If I can do it with a cup of coffee in an environment that invites comfort, so much the better. Coffee on the Patio - it has a certain ring to it, don't you think?
