Damn Fine Cup of Coffee
"I've had I can't tell you how many cups of coffee in my life and this this is one of the best."
Dale Cooper — yes, the fictional detective from David Lynch's cultishly beloved 1989 series Twin Peaks — was apparently 15 when he had his first cup of coffee. He was hitchhiking home from a Boy Scout Jamboree when he stopped into a restaurant on Pennsylvania Route 487. He had cherry pie and two cups of coffee. As the legend goes — according to The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper by Scott Frost, published in 1991 — Cooper said “I believe I will consider this my first experience,” into the reel-to-reel tape recorder he’d been dragging around. Dale Cooper was a weird kid.
