Writing Prompt: Coffee Time
Monday, August 17th, 2009
Write a scene in which a character enjoys a cup of coffee, or if they are not a coffee drinker, their perspective on coffee and why they dislike drinking it.
What is the flavor of coffee like? How does the addition of sugar, cream or flavoring affect it?
What is the texture? How does it feel in the mouth? How hot is it, or has it cooled? Do they only drink iced coffee?
Is there a particular brand of coffee that they have to get, or a certain coffee shop they prefer to buy their coffee from?
Use your imagination and describe what coffee might taste like in unusual circumstances or settings. I know for me, I can not drink coffee from a Quick Stop store unless I am on a long road trip. And there is some complimentary coffee that is brewed at the place my dad does some physical therapy that tastes heavenly when I am there waiting, but it has an off taste when I try to drink the same coffee anywhere else. Even if I take a cup from the physical therapy place to my house or somewhere – it just does not taste as good as it does sitting in that waiting room area.
