Geoffrey: This puzzle was inspired by my morning ritual in which I perform the latter two verbs of this puzzle’s theme.
I like mine black. Hope you enjoyed this puzzle with a cup of your own!
Shout-out to Sally. It was an honor debuting in the USA Today with a member of the USAT crossword royal court like yourself. And shout-out to Amanda for amazing edits. Cheers! ☕
Sally: My morning ritual involves tea rather than coffee. Nonetheless, when Geoffrey invited me to collaborate with him on this puzzle, I readily agreed. I’m a fan of progression themes, and this is a fun one. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride on this one, Geoffrey!
AT LAST! COFFEE!: The LAST word of each theme answer is a step in making COFFEE: ROAST, GRIND, and BREW.
As I mentioned above, I am a fan of progression themes. The steps for making COFFEE not only appear in the theme answers, but also appear in the puzzle in the order in which they are performed. First, ROAST the COFFEE beans. Next, GRIND the beans. Finally, BREW the COFFEE. Congratulations to Geoffrey Schorkopf on a USA Today debut! Thanks to Geoffrey for letting me tag along on his debut. Hope you all enjoyed the solve.
