I never used to be a coffee drinker until I started working ata fairly boring job about 5 years ago. I was used to a heavy deadline/fast-paced environment (having worked on a monthly consumer magazine with too much to do and not nearly enough time or staff to get it done each month), and my new job was quite the opposite. Still publishing of sorts but this was in the medical industry (health care really) and was now an "online magazine" rather than a true hold-in-your hands magazine. With no budget for freelancers, it meant I had to either write stuff myself or beg companies/PR folks to provide free content for us (the latter being easier then it sounds, considering they'd be getting loads of free publicity from us). Anyways, my boss was very laid back and we really were on a very loose publishing schedule. So I had way too much time on my hands and not enough to do.

So two things happened in the 2 years I worked there:
1) I taught myself HTML. (This is a good thing.)
2) I drank way too much coffee and now need 2 to 3 cups every morning to keep going. (Not such a good thing.)

What's that have to do with coupons and shopping? Well, not much. Just thought I'd share. Okay, I'll make it up to you. For getting this far down in my post, here's a great coupon for an online gourmet coffee shop. (And they actually have loads more than coffee: stuff like tea, cocoa, mugs, gifts, etc.)

20% off your entire online order at Boca Java

They also offer free shipping on orders over $79, so if you're buying a number of gifts (mugs? carafes? 600 lbs. of coffee beans?), this is a double good deal.
