[Julia wasn't a coffee snob. She had been brought up on drip-filter, burned grounds and latch-key kid time spent in diners waiting for her dad to get off work.

Very genuine. Not very optimistic, but definitely genuine. And I think we want optimistic cynic or converted optimist, or something that gives an indication of how very complicated our lives are. [She smiled, like simplicity in sneakers.]
