Good Morning, Durham Tech!

Surely, I’m not the only one dreaming about a second (and third, and fourth, and fifth…) cup of coffee this morning. Maybe you woke up with energy and pep, good for you! This post is for everyone else who is fantasizing about that smooth, bold, dark ambrosia and who would like to learn more about it while doing so.
