Getting up early is something I occasionally have to do for work. There is a certain thrill of driving to work when the roads are totally empty and you own the asphalt.

Of course the only thing that keeps me going on such mornings is a damn fine cup of coffee. Normally I'll drink whatever instant crap is to hand but early in the morning the ritual of making actual filter coffee is an essential part of actually waking up.

One sniff of real coffee and ZING you're awake!
