APRIL MORALBA I love everything about coffee: the smell, the taste, making it, going out to get it, the warmth from a good mug, grinding the beans, chatting with friends over a cup, literally everything. Bringing a cup of coffee to my desk is always the start of my day and refilling that cup multiple times a day is a joy. Some people can’t have it past a certain time of day or they can’t sleep. I, however, could drink it all day long. I especially love a cup of coffee after dinner before some nightly drawing. I’m properly addicted to the stuff, but I’m not too fussed about changing that anytime soon. LEARN MORE ABOUT APRIL:

KATE LALIME I love the taste of coffee and espresso and for years I drank caffeine, but it always made me feel like garbage - jittery, anxious and generally gross. This past year I finally decided to embrace my love of decaf cappuccinos and pretty much cut caffeine all together and I feel SO much better. I know some say death before decaf, but I say decaf lovers unite! L E A R N M O R E A B O U T K AT E :

Kaitlin Callender My fiancÊ is a coffee roaster. When I visit him at work he is usually busy bouncing between his machines so I like to leave sticky notes at his desk. This pattern is a combination of all the silly coffee themed pick up lines that I’ve left at his desk. LEARN MORE ABOUT KAITLIN:

KRISTEN GIRARD My boyfriend has started referring to coffee as my “happy juice” because I’m generally cranky before drinking any in the mornings. Getting grumpy while grocery shopping? Happy juice. Don’t want to do the dishes? Happy juice. Feeling slightly out of sorts and need that teeny tiny thing to bring you back to normal? Happy juice. It seems to be his answer to a lot of things and I have to say...it totally works. LEARN MORE ABOUT KRISTEN:

CECiLIA RIOS As a non coffee drinker I had to find some other persepective to do the artwork. We all have a soft point, mine is not coffee, it’s music. Tell me some romantic lines about horny romance, and I’ll be right there, drinking a whole cup with you Alex. Lyrics from: I Wanna Be Yours / Arctic Monkeys LEARN MORE ABOUT CECILIA:

AYLA MIROLO Had some fun using masking fluid again for the first time since I was a teenager. Naturally coffee is what comes to mind when I hear the word “caffeinated�. A moment of silence for the coffee that actually was spilled for this piece. L E A R N M O R E A B O U T AY L A :

NATALIE FERRO We wake up after a morning workout with it, we catch up with friends over it, and we stay up late designing with it. If ever I had a love for a beverage, it would be caffeine. Zip zip! L E A R N M O R E A B O U T N ATA L I E :

Coffee, to me, is less about its taste or smell or energy-bestowing qualities (though those also matter), and more about it being a constant in my daily life, a bit of comfort I can always count on even in the most chaotic days. We also have unlimited (if bad) coffee at work, which is a huge mood booster, especially during the dreary long winters. LEARN MORE ABOUT MARIA:
