This Harry was raised solely by Eb and his dad, so he's a lot less combative and very country boy in the big city. He has almost no access to news, but Rahm's face was plastered all over the city when he was running, and Harry did end up voting for him, so he actually looked to figure out if Rahm won.

Which means Harry has no idea - and won't learn for a while - what "Johnny" does, much to Rahm's disappointment, since Rahm wants the barista to himself ;D

...I have a confession to make.

I hate coffee. ((almost as much as I hate HTML tags, for anyone who caught that formatting fail)) *ahem*

I've been holding that back pretty much since I started writing this, lol. I don't even like stuff that's made in coffee places because it tastes like coffee to me.

I have considered trying to see if maybe there's some way I like coffee (because I DO like the smell of coffee... and coffee icecream...) but I think it's unwise. Today I drank TWO cups of strong Assam with milk and sugar instead of my normal ONE cup of gunpowder green and as a result I am completely wired and have a slight case of the shakes. So I think it would be kind of scary if it turned out I like coffee.

There's always decaf, I guess? I don't even like the smell, so I stay away from the stuff in all of it's forms, to the point that I don't really like meeting people in coffee shops and I leave when my roommate makes coffee. But a lot of my friends drink this stuff (and are pretty much not worth talking to when they don't get enough) so I figured I'd give the prompt a shot.

I am like you author! Except that I totally gave into peer-pressure and am conditioning myself to like coffee. /o\ It felt like a cultural thing I was missing out on! So it's been 6 months and I started with um, a half-shot-of-expresso-in-a-giant-cup vanilla-flavoured 90% soymilk concoction, and am now at a cafe misto (half soymilk, half coffee).... though still with vanilla-flavouring. The baristas are cheering me on actually, I feel like I can't give up now.

|D I've made a stance now. I can't back down. Too many people would mock me for it.

Probably a small part of it is my general inability to drink warm things. I haven't finished a mug of hot chocolate in years, if I ever have. The main stumbling block is still the smell/taste, though.

does anyone have photo refs for the 1938 Cremonesi piston-pump espresso machine? I kind of want to do another drawing of Harry w/that but I on't know what that looks like

This one is based off of the 1938 design: http://www.openobject.org/modmania/File:Gaggia_espresso_machine.jpeg

Really love your Harry. He makes me want to hug him and throw fluffy things at him. :)

...Hmm...I have a confession to make as well then.

I hate coffee as well. It always seemed like some sort of extremely bitter tea whenever my aunt let me try some when I was young and the smell makes me very uneasy for some reason...
I did try out some of Starbucks coffee b/c my friends were a bit amazed that I never tried some, but whenever I spent (alot) of money on something, it makes me sick. D:

So you're not along there. I just thought that Marcone and Rahm would be like coffee addicts so I wanted a Coffeemancer!Harry.

Can't wait for the next part! :D

Glad I'm not the only person who doesn't even like the smell! It's really rare to run into someone who will admit to disliking both.

I'm super-pleased you're liking the fic <3

/has been sort of planning a random_rants post about how much I hate coffee for the past week./

I hate the smell and taste of coffee, I don't like it in my booze, I don't like it my chocolate, I don't like it in my cake and I especially don't like it in my mug. D:

I drink tea! Hot chocolate! But I can't stand coffee, and my taste buds are finely attuned to detecting coffee, and if I can tell if there's coffee, then I really won't like it - it physically makes me want to hurl the taste.

But my excuse is that my mother ( who is addicted) traumatized me with her empty forgotten about mugs. D:

... But I do like your coffee fic. ^.^;;

Honestly, I can only handle coffee in theory - not smelling it or tasting it. There's actually kind of a fascinating history to the bean and the coffee culture, though, so this has been a fun fic to write :3

Am I the only one reading this who actually likes coffe? I feel sad and alone now. Non-traumatized Harry is adorable and fluffy. Rahm and Marcone fighting over him is hotter than my very "Irish" tea.

Lol, sorry about that ^^;;; I'm sure there's someone else on the meme who likes coffee!

They are all quite fluffy really <3

You're no alone, anon. I love coffee, preferably strong and with lots of cream and sugar.

Non-traumatized Harry is a good ol' teddy bear. He's got that innocence and shyness that probably makes Rahm and Marcone go crazy.
