pensive reflections

My colleague, Tim, and I recently explored an age-old question: how do you properly ask someone to purchase and consume a coffee beverage? We may never have an answer. I’ve listed the most common variations below. You may find each item to be increasingly annoying as you descend through the list. I am still unable to physically bring myself to say the final item out loud.

Let’s get coffee!

Let’s get some coffee!

Let’s get a cup of coffee!

Let’s getta cuppa coffee!

Let’s get a coffee!

Let’s go to coffee!

Let’s do coffee!

Let’s coffee!
