For the record, I love coffee, but, sadly can no longer drink hot coffee. It gives me acid reflux. But, I think it was the act of just sitting quietly (no TV, minimal to no talking) and relaxing before the day started. I just like the taste and smell of coffee. I can drink hot tea. But, it's not really my favorite and I don't really get the same relaxing feeling. I really think it's just a state of mind.
I do still drink cold/iced coffee as the process in the making is different and does not give me acid reflux. But, the feeling is still just not quite the same. lol, funny isn't it.
