Well, I love my Coffee. I like it both Cold and Hot. Its energetic, anti-dozing, its got a zing, its youthful & generally, makes we wanna drink a few cups more :P.
Also, I never realised, how much blood flowed in my Coffee Stream (I know the lines not mine, but like Coffee - its catchy), & how much sweat it caused to my pocket until I read this article in NYTimes, about things, graduates don't want to hear, about saving. Most of the things, like taxes, television costs, retirement plans, pensions etc. weren't really applicable, but the bottomline, literally, was :
¶And, I’m sorry, I’m really serious about this last one: make your own coffee.
(The nested article, is an earlier one on similar lines).
I quick check on myself, and I realised that I spent as much as 10€, a week on Coffee which amounts to a decent fraction of my salary. While most of 10€, are devoured by the coffee vending machine at INRIA, at 30 cents, it is thankfully, among the cheapest Coffee, one can buy here. The Foyer, where I stay gulps down a few more at 50 cents, while at 1€ a piece, Selecta is the maximum Rip-Off I can afford.
Its tropical, steamy, hot and sinful to buy Coffee, anywhere else in Paris.

Try this recipe of Irish coffee. I'm sure you'll love it!
1 Shot Irish Whiskey
1 Teaspoon sugar
1 heaping spoonful whipped cream
Little Strong, hot coffee
Pre-warm a stemmed glass. Pour in the whiskey. Add sugar and coffee. Float the whipped cream on top.
Don't stir! Sip your drink through the whipped cream.
