At the beginning of this month, I asked the staff at the Stone Creek Factory a question, 'What is your ideal coffee moment/scenario?' This is what they responded:

I love my morning cup outside. If I had my pick of places in the world for my morning cup it would either by in the high country of colorado or on my dock in the northwoods.  For me sipping a cup of Stone Creek Coffee to take the chill off the morning air is one of the simple joys of life.  -Eric

Someday I'm going to savor an early morning cup of coffee standing on the ground where it was grown--perhaps watching the sun rise over Ethiopia.  -Autumn

Enjoying a refreshingly smooth Iced Coffee on a Spring day at the South Shore Farmer's Market...warmer weather is on its way! -Steve

Sipping a Boston latte while listening to my favorite radio station 88nine and doing some arts and crafts- knitting, screen printing, or sewing.  -Christie

Sipping a cup of Red Sky while reading the paper on Sunday morning and dreaming of long days of summer that are just around the corner. -Jess O.

I enjoy traveling with a cup of coffee as one of my traveling companions. Whether this means driving to work with a latte or sipping a doppio in Mexico, coffee is always there to keep me company! -Shannon

When I get out and brave the cold, I like to take my dog to the dog park with a travel mug of coffee in hand. -Kim

Sitting across from a coffee-loving friend and chatting while sipping some Milwaukee Blend. -Carrie

The ritual of drinking my very first cup of the day!  Sipping Slowly by tasting its flavor characteristics and reflecting on the global effort, care and dedication that made this moment possible.  This daily ritual never ceases to be extraordinary.  -Athena

Going to the local coffee shop back home with all the ladies in my family and lounging on comfy couches. What am i drinking?...A cinnamon-honey latte.  -Lisa

My favorite coffee moment is definitely having a small skim latte from SCC Grand Avenue right after an intense Y-Cycle class at the Downtown YMCA.  It is the perfect way to replenish after a great work out and give a boost to the rest of the day! -Katie

Sipping a cup of Socially Responsible Coffee, while being inspired by a book written by a fellow human being who, in her or his own unique way, wants to make this earth and it's people happier! -Jess I.
