I know I kidded you once about shaving and slurping some coffee, but it is how the pros do it! I never thought about breathing and drinking and just figured, since you roast coffee, that you were doing "cupping" which is how the coffee gurus find flavor profiles for the roasted beans. One needs air and as many taste buds as possible to get the full taste and "mouth feel" of the coffee. Sipping doesn't use as many taste buds. So you are drinking your coffee for the fullest flavor, and myself and any others *cough* brother *cough* should follow your example!!
[for more info, google coffee slurp or cupping coffee]
Its even better if you gargle with it!
