December – the month when your inbox fills with cheery out-of-office replies, your to-do list magically doubles, and everyone suddenly remembers that “quick project we meant to finish before January.” It’s the season of peppermint mochas, office potlucks, and sending that infamous “circling back before the holidays”… email.

Welcome back to another Café Session, where we mix a little coffee knowledge with a lot of seasonal flavor. December has officially settled in, and so has the cold—those below-30 mornings hit hard, and we’ve even had a dusting of snow to make everything feel a little more festive (though we’re still waiting for that first full-blown storm). Thanksgiving leftovers are officially gone, holiday lights are twinkling across Denver, and the annual December scramble has begun—presents to buy, plans to make, and a calendar that somehow filled up overnight. ‘Tis the season of good cheer, mild panic, and coffee-fueled productivity.
