The Best of the Beanies, in no particular order - they were all so good!

What has hurt me the most is that you also took all my coffee grinds, not only the daily one which in itself is fucking expensive, but also those that I bought when we traveled to different parts of the world and of which there were even some untasted, that is a really hard blow, because you know very well that I am an inveterate coffee lover, that I collect everything I can of this drink that I love so much and I know that is why you did this.

"You see, I went to pour the water into the coffee maker in the kitchenette but realised I did not refill it with coffee grounds," she said, palming her head. "How could I be so dumb? I was going to grab the bag of coffee grounds and pour them into the filter when my pc pinged. I'm trying to read the email and I see it's from Mr Pepples…"

Screw You And Your Coconut Milk Latte by @riverflows

I'm really looking forward to making a coffee without having to make one for you and have to remake it because it's too hot, too cold, too strong, too weak, too milky or it's in the wrong cup. So screw you, you can have it all - I was thinking of giving up coffee anyway. Have a nice life.

Please don't delete! I just want to return... by @samsmith1971

I got home after 9 pm. The only thing I could think of all the way home was crashing back into my armchair and savouring a nice hot mug of freshly brewed Arabica. Imagine my horror when I entered my kitchen to face this!!!Who would do such a thing? Look at all that empty space next to the hob!!! All of my prized coffee gear... GONE!!! My baby!...

Dear John ... You Should Have Just Let Me Go To Goodwill by @deeanndmathews

It had taken two years for him to find out where she had restarted her life, and then to figure out how to get into and steal her coffee maker, mugs, spoons, filters, and specialized blends out of her home. He wanted her to know he knew where she was, how to get to her, and that this was just the beginning. But, in reality, it was the end.

The Coffee Fee of Infidelity by @dreemsteem

Being there for one another through the hard times? Making it work? But no. You have to toss us aside and get vindictive and nasty! Speaking of nasty - that X-54 grinder was a $600! Even if I COULD use it again, I wouldn't! Not after you ran Buddy's kitty litter through it! Unnecessarily spiteful, you know? And using the frother to scrub the toilet? Sure, sure. So cliché!!

"What do you mean you can't find it. Why is everything against me today?, first I didn't hear my alarm, then I spilled the beans and couldn't make my coffee, then all the cabs acted like I was invisible, rain came out of nowhere and now you can't find my song and I don't have coffee in my system and I'm going to cry"

This is deplorable; I never thought you would do something like this in our almost fourteen months of the relationship. Terminate me by a text message? And on top of that, you take all my tools to make good coffee. Of course, since you know that I live from that and that's where the source of my peace of mind lies, you didn't think twice to take away what I love the most.

The Bad Luck of the Irish: How My Favorite Drink Saved Me From A Vengeful Leprechaun by @wrestlingdesires

Standing up, I noticed that I had landed atop a small marble table. Around it were four child-sized chairs, made of highly polished wood. They were adorned with intricate carvings, and had obviously been crafted by a skilled carpenter. Mournfully I saw my fall had crushed what must have been an exquisite violin. Beside it lay a cracked coffee mug, a spilled bag of coffee beans, and a broken glass bottle.

It Is All Love Between Samantha And Earl by @kei2

Do you remember that store downtown that sells on credit? Yeah! I purchased it in your name and card. The credit is due a month from the purchase date so you should be getting a debit alert right about now. I believe that would be the perfect $600 birthday present from me to you. Happy Birthday, Sam.
