I'm impressed you knew that Coffee was Irish and not South American, like most do.
My mother's first boyfriend apparently had the surname Coffey... so I suspected
Oddly enough, the most memorable cup of coffee I'll always remember was enjoyed
in Ireland in 1986. I was doing a bicycle circuit of the Burren in Co. Clare when I was caught in a nasty downpour around Black Head. The first warm place to stop was O'Donohue's Pub in Fanore, where the proprietors first provided towels, then a tray with what seemed to me to be the most delicious coffee I had ever tasted ... sweetened with Demerara sugar and lightened with rich cream. Comfort in a cup! {sigh of happiness}
