Yes, Denny would like to remind you that he spent ten years of his life as a barista and hasn't lost any of those chops, thank you very much.
I am a big fan of first person POV when the voice is unique enough, strong enough, and compelling enough. You're right, third is faster and easier, but there's usually less of an emotional component to it (of necessity) because we're one step removed from the character(s) in question. When you want to get that right-from-the-chest zing, there's nothing like first person.
