What is coffee?

My fourth attempt to answer “What is coffee?”

Coffee is  . . .

• my boyfriend (mug)
• a drug  . . . a warm delicious drug (meme)
• an essential part of my ‘responsible’ grown-up disguise (meme)
• all you need (me . . . and a whole lot of other people)
• liquid patience (meme)
• my motivation (me . . . and a whole lot of other people)
• a pleasure (me . . . and a whole lot of other people)
