I love this essay Natasha, thank you for sharing it with us at Counter Arts!

I've never done the whole 'fancy coffee' thing (and to be honest I'm not a fan of the noise of cafes). I always did love a really strong, black coffee though - until, that is, I was pregnant at which point the smell made me nauseous. And continues to do so 21 years later!! So weird, hormones have a great deal to answer for (they've been the bane of my life frankly, lol).
