Definitely not in my blood - my dad and my sister does occasionally like to drink some instant coffee, however I was the first in the family to try out and fall in love with "proper" coffee - beans and grinding and steaming the milk and everything. It was in fact I who introduced proper coffee to the family.

My first "exposure" to an espresso shot was via a friend in Med-school, the night before our first semester Anatomy final! Needless to say I didn't sleep the entire night LOL! I finished my revision, went off and gave the exam, had lunch and only then I started to feel sleepy.
