    I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was an adult. I was 25, a newlywed, and had recently relocated to the Pacific Northwest. I spent my days locked in a tiny basement office with Cookie Monster Blue shag carpeting telecommuting to my Midwest office.

    These major life changes, paired with the iconic foggy winter weather of the Puget Sound, were a recipe for depression… until I discovered the joy of the drive-thru coffee stand!

    Gourmet Coffee On-the-Go

    The gourmet coffee drive-thru is a Washington state phenomena that I have never seen replicated.  Don’t get me wrong, there are always a few drive-thru windows offering coffee wherever we live, but in Washington, especially the northwest coast, coffee stands are a RELIGION.

    Our town of roughly 20,000 boasted more than 20 drive-thru coffee shops. Some were tiny stand alone shacks or VW buses perched in the parking lot of a bigger business. Some were simple sliding windows attached to larger stand-alone cafes. Some were famous chains with slick ordering intercoms and a mermaid logo. Each had a special offering, a dedicated customer base, and supremely delicious coffee.

    It was in Washington that I discovered the Sugar Baby Latte, the Zebra Mocha, and the Irish Dream. These caffeinated friends got me through my first years of marriage and military life and, a few years later, my children’s’ toddler years when I was mostly a single parent due to deployments.

    Coffee Teacher Appreciation Gift

    I no longer live in Washington. Most mornings I drink black coffee brewed in my own kitchen. But I still remember the joy of the coffee stand. These fond memories may be the reason I love giving coffee as a gift: a simple DIY Sharpie coffee mug, a package of homemade coffee shortbread, or a coffee gift card. They all seem perfect for most gift-giving occasions.

    Coffee for All!

    During Teacher Appreciation Week I love sending a few bags of gourmet coffee for the teacher’s lounge. It helps replenish their supply and is a treat for the whole staff. This year I delivered single serve pods since our elementary school uses a Keurig coffee maker.
