Need. Coffeeeeeeee ...

Calibrating the amount of happiness derived from coffee is both an art and a science.
A science because the right type of coffee for that day is dependent on a few key factors and assumptions in the equation. For example, the planned activities for the next few hours, the availability of the right kind of music that patters along in tune with you, or even the state of mind you found yourself in when you woke up.
Say you woke up with a strong memory of a particularly bad dream, then you may want a weak milky coffee to dilute the bad vibes; or one may need a strong robust coffee to jumpstart the day!

On the other hand, it is also an art since the first cuppa for the day ought to be presented with a neat flourish -- either by a cheerful spouse/family, a one-button-voila-coffee machine, or a no-nonsense coffee barista who whips up the coffee you ask for swiftly : ) Ah!
