Maddie: I don’t remember what life was like before coffee, is that bad? As a kid, I was definitely a Starbucks gal; getting my decaf iced lattes to feel like an adult. The habit transformed into FULLY caffeinated when I became a teen and beyond. Still, I needed frilly drinks, I wasn’t ready for the black-coffee-with-a-splash-of-creamer lifestyle.
Cue college. Coffee. All. The. Time. Morning, afternoon, evening (yikes) you name it. In all honesty, my coffee addiction has definitely leveled out now that I’m older and don’t have to spend hours studying. Also, visiting the coffee shop everyday is bad on the wallet. So, both Trenton and I are huge fans of setting the coffee maker on auto, going to sleep and waking up to the fresh smell of happiness in a cup.
Trenton: I didn’t drink coffee until an elk hunt six years ago. My father drew a prime, 2014 elk tag in Nevada. While out looking for his bull of a lifetime I could not stay awake. I know this doesn’t sound very hunter of me and believe me, I was getting frustrated with myself. I was supposed to be the spotter, the young eyes, sharp and vigilant. Every few minutes I’d doze off and feel the slap of my dad’s big hand wrap against my chest, I would jolt up swearing I was awake even though I knew my dad and brother weren’t remotely convinced. After several mornings of dozey-eyed Trent, my dad poured me a cup of cream filled coffee and told me “don’t care how long it takes or if you like the taste, drink the whole cup!” Well I did and I can’t say it is the specific reason he bagged his big 6X6 bull elk but every morning after I had to have a cup of coffee. I was hooked.
