I think you're right about this - a hot coffee is certainly a comfort in
the morning. I can't say if this is because we associate caffeine with
the hot drink and this signals some brain stimulus coming up or if we
find comfort in this morning ritual. It's probably both.

The coffee I got from Jack-in-the-box was not so good this morning. Weak
with not much flavor. I really like the coffee served in the restaurant
next door. It's tasty, not bitter, with a chocolate character.
Unfortunately, the restaurant next door is not a very warm, inviting,
place to eat breakfast so I just take it back to my office.

I agree - bitter coffee sucks. It seems that most coffee is bitter these
days.
