Dear Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, random coffee shops, Frappuccinos, cafe con leche, at home coffee, just all the coffee,

This is a love letter for all of you.

How could anyone just pick one of you to write a love letter to? Each one of you is special in your own way.

The love I have for you, at home ground coffee made in the $20 coffee pot from Walmart, when I don’t wake up in time to stop for some because I was up all night studying for a midterm, that love is indiscribable, a life savior. I thank you for always having my back when the mornings are crunched for time and my need for coffee is high.

My sweet, sweet Dunkin. Literally always, very sweet Dunkin, you give me more than caffeine and it amazes me. I pay just three dollars for a medium iced coffee with cream and sugar. How is it I get so much of each part for so little money? I love you, Dunkin, for your low prices and overly sweet coffee. Sometimes I don’t like to taste the bitterness and you answer that want for more sugar than coffee, every time.

Frappuccino, Frappe (tomayto/tomahto), I love you and each and every one of your calories. You are there for me when there is no time to eat and the need for coffee is in demand. You have so many flavors though; I never know which one to choose. People say you aren’t a true coffee, but they just don’t understand you.

All you random coffee shops, you know who you are, your sign says you sell the world’s best cup of coffee. You may be lying to yourselves, but everyone loves a crappy cup of coffee once in a rare while. I love you for trying and at least giving me the caffeine I needed to keep my day going. Just because you aren’t as well-known doesn’t mean you aren’t loved.

Your royal highness, Starbucks, you hold yourself so high above the others. I admire you for that because your Starbuck’s Double Shots are something worth having a big head for. I love you because you are my special treat to myself. I can’t afford you on the regular so when I do have your coffee, I enjoy every sip. Thank you for being so extra, and creating the best holiday coffees there are. No matter how expensive you get, I will always love you.

And for all the other coffees, don't think I forgot about you. This love letter would be so long people would need more coffee to keep them awake reading. Much love for you, all the coffees.
