20 Reasons Black Coffee Is Your Soul Mate Beverage

Coffee, it’s your bro, your sis, your guardian angel and you’re ever dependable bezzie. It’s been there at your last break up, when you needed to pull a finals all nighter and to console you when you’ve jolted awake with your shoes on in yet another bathtub. In short, it’s your soul mate and it’s high time you recognize that you two are closer than you’re comfortable to admit:

  1. Its dark, but much like your soul it can be jazzed up with some pumpkin spice or a shot of whiskey.
  2. Who else is going to stand with you in the AM when you’re wearing last nights little black number and an acute sense of shame?
  3. It’s your only legal option to go from edge of death to amped up socialite in ten short minutes.
  4. It originates in a hot, tropical, leafy climate, and your soul is all about the flip flops and bikinis.
  5. Two smokin’ cups of hot caffeine is basically a meal. But with none of the calories. Which makes it healthy, right, right?!
  6. ….plus a big shout to the big C for being the corner stone of the Skinny Girl breakfast. Good Morning coffee and cigarettes.
  7. You like to think if your soul did have a smell it would be something similar to a toasty mug of joe.
  8. If it’s the first thing you think about when you wake up there’s a good chance you two are spiritually connected.
  9. Physical dependence is just another way of saying it’ll be with you ‘til death depart.
  10. They can’t do interventions for caffeine, can they?!
  11. Like black coffee you’re no bullshit. Beans, hot water, magic.
  12. It’s been your bro’ when you’ve needed it most. Tequila Tuesday, job interview Wednesday needed it.
  13. It’s an acquired taste but it ain’t trying to be something it’s not, you gotta respect that.
  14. You ain’t gonna go for some imitation, granulated weak mug o’ pick me up. This shit is important.
  15. It’s by your side on those cold winter days, warmin’ up your frozen digits and toasting you on the inside. You’ve had long term relationships that didn’t get that intimate.
  16. It’s been with you on more than a few awkward first dates, and was gracious enough to let you hide behind it rather than have to talk.
  17. …on the other hand it’s also been the go to excuse you’ve used at the end of some very successful dates that have made their way up to the bedroom.
  18. You’ve got more shots of coffee on your Instagram account than you do of most of your bezzies.
  19. It’s your perfect procrastination companion. Not only does it take ten minutes to make, you got at least another fifteen before you’re expected to get back to work.
  20. It’s your one purchase you don’t skimp on regardless of how close you are to getting evicted.
