	Thank you, Ernst.

	Well, coffeehounds, here's what we have so far:


Q: HOW COULD ZEN BE LIKE A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE?

  - Why, John, it fills you with mind bursting flavor.
      John_H (the *other* John_H, that is.)

  - Better yet, how is a raven like a writing desk?
      Bill K.

  - Because it's in the eye of the beholder.
      Mary T.

  - To be real both take time to brew.
      Tina :)

  - How could it not?!
      Mike R.

  - They are both something you want and even desire when you're cold.
      Ernst B.


and here's some more:

1. It wakes you up.
2. It's effects are primarily in your head.
3. One of its goals is to realize emptiness (of the cup).
4. It should be allowed to cool down a little before using.
5. Whether you drink it or not, it will eventually be gone.
6. It's a little bitter, but satisfying.
7. It's best to let it all pass through you, without retaining any of it.
8. It's fun to share with friends.
9. You shouldn't get addicted to it.
10. Sitting quietly in the morning with it can be a real treat.
