In these dangerous and dreary times, when darkness envelopes us and future is uncertain [insert a very sincere and highly motivational spiel appeal that will guarantee to pull at your personal heart-strings] – what could be better than instant gratification of a perfect cup of coffee?

I present to you Dreamwidth club we call Morning Coffee House. 

Membership crosses international boundaries and stretches across races, backgrounds, political outlooks and unites People Who Know Better [than drink tea. At least in the morning.]
