In high school, I pulled all-nighters like a seasoned college pro. Such feats were unheard of at such an early age, but as my favorite notepad reminds me daily, "The last minute is the best minute."
I may have been an all-nighter all-star, but I knew little about proper caffeine sources. I scoffed at the idea of my mom making me a pot of black coffee. I would rather eat spoonfuls of sugar than drink that stuff. So that's what I did — in the form of a French vanilla cappuccino from QuikTrip. In my mind, that was the perfect cup of coffee.
When I came to KU, I noticed that other people have different ideas about what makes coffee perfect. I met Starbucks snobs and cafe connoisseurs, but the people with the most far-out idea of coffee perfection were those who brewed their own coffee. Why would people go to such trouble when they could stop by a gas station and let the cappuccino maker do the work for you — and give you better-tasting coffee? Who doesn't love sugar?
I didn't give coffee — real coffee — a
chance until I studied abroad in Costa Rica for a few weeks. The Central American country had gas stations just like the United States, but if they had familiar cappuccino makers, I will never know, because I never looked. Drinking such an inauthentic form of coffee within a culture where people live and breathe coffee seems insulting.
During my trip, I saw firsthand how coffee is deeply rooted within the history, economic structure and everyday life of Costa Ricans. I visited coffee plantations, picked coffee beans and watched how coffee is processed. These visits made me realize how valuable coffee is and how I should appreciate it more — and not spoil it with, perhaps, unnecessary sugar.
Fortunately, my palate developed a likeness for Costa Rica's home-grown coffee that was as shocking as it was enjoyable. All I needed to add was a little bit of milk.
MOLLY MARTIN | EDITOR
After that trip, I finally realized that QuickTrip French vanilla cappuccinos don't even taste like coffee is supposed to taste. And I'd rather know what exactly I'm putting in my coffee cup.
I've been thinking about purchasing a coffee maker, but the process of brewing my own coffee has overwhelmed me. Lindsey's story on page 11 provides the perfect guide for learning how to brew at home, and I'm confident it will help me get started. It will help you, too, so check it out.

Students vandalize Learned Hall cause damage to safety supplies
BY ALEX GARRISON agarrison@kansan.com
Several students reported a theft of a fire extinguisher and an erroneous discharge of a safety shower in a lab inside Learned Hall, at
15th and Naismith streets, early Saturday morning. The Public Safety Office report from the incident states that two 20-year-old men from Overland Park were arrested at the scene.
Learned, Eaton and Spahr Halls are unlocked at almost all times, said Jill Hummels, director of public relations for the School of Engineering.
Public Safety assessed the damage at $45.

The police report said that the man entered the dorms by "tailgating," which could either mean that he followed on students' heels into the building or waited around until someone unlocked the door. Captain Schuyler Bailey said
"If we do get video of him, it will be released to the public." Bailey said.
