I'm Addicted to Lavazza Ground Coffee

Some people open their eyes and think about what they have to do that day. Other folks open their eyes and check the weather to see if they should expect rain, right away. Some people use the quiet early morning time to meditate and clear their heads for their day ahead. Still others snuggle back into the pillows for one more delicious snooze. Not me! The initial thought that usually enters my mind single morning is "Oooh, coffee!" I'm positively addicted to Lavazza ground coffee.

Just knowing there is a cup of fresh brewed coffee just moments away makes it easier to get out of bed. In fact, it makes it difficultchallenging to stay in bed, when I could be up and sipping that deliciously aromatic Lavazza ground coffee. And I totally adore the weekends… nothing beats brewing that first pot and getting back into bed with a good book or a good movie. It's the little things in life, the common rituals, that give us a sense of who we are and our place in the world. For me, coffee is one of those simple pleasures.

What Would Buddha Drink?

For myself, that initial cup of Lavazza ground coffee every morning is a Zen experience. I am entirely present in the routine of opening the container (aaah, can you smell that?), measuring the grounds, and carefully pouring the water into the pot. I fiddle around the kitchen straightening up from the evening before while the coffee brews, and select a favorite mug from the cupboard. The mug, by the way, is almost as important as the coffee itself. It hast to be the right shape to curl my hands around, the correct weight to feel significant enough for the Lavazza ground coffee goodness, and made from the right materials so it keeps the coffee hot without scorching my hands.

With the kitchen cleaned up and the coffee prepared for pouring, I observe as the dark lovely liquid fills my mug. Measuring the right amount of cream, I watch as it swirls gently into the darkness, steadily lightening the entire mugful to a soft creamy tint of brown.

Mug in hand, I wander out to the screen porch near the kitchen. In the summer months I listen to the birds and the buzzing of the woods waking up, whereas in the cooler months I wrap up in my much loved afghan and savor the warmness of the steam rising up to my nose. Any time of year, this is my moment, my favorite time of the day. That first drink of the perfectly brewed Lavazza ground coffee instantly clears my mind of any leftover fogginess, and my day of the week begins.

Could it be that I have discovered my bliss in a mug of coffee? Is this my morning meditation, served up steamy warm and delicious? I imagine what it might be like to have a cup of coffee with Buddha, sitting quietly in the morning stillness, letting in the day one savory sip at a time. I believe we would all get along great; me, Buddha and Lavazza ground coffee.

Whether you prefer regular or decaf, Lavazza ground coffee will always brew up fresh and wonderful. Choose from the dark and bold Premium House Blend or perhaps the Gran Filtro 100% Arabica. And taste the goodness.
