Coffee, good or bad?

[fendermademygibson]

Coffee with honey? Never considered that. Sounds interesting.

In all seriousness. On the occasions I do flavor my coffee this is a great option. I put the honey or maple syrup and sometimes a dash of cinnamon in the filter basket and let brew.

All this talk of deep dark beany goodness.

Hmmm! Can't wait till the dawn.

Must have coffee every day. Two mugs (= 4 cups) Monday thru Friday. 3 to 4 mugs on Saturday. A few cups at church on Sunday.

Colombian drip. Yum.

BLACK

Few things smell better than fresh ground coffee and brewing coffee

I drink black 99.9% of the time. Very occasionally I get a craving for something milky, but it is probably once or twice a year. I normally have one or two cups if I'm working a day shift because I have to get up at 4.30am to get to work on time. On days off I might have one cup in the morning with my breakfast.

Coffee is good, I have one cup at day, I started roasting my own coffee 18 months ago, best decision ever, there is not way I can drink the commercial crap you can buy at any store, forget Starbucks.

Tried that one day for the heck of it. It's quite good. Sounds weird but a splash of orange juice is quite interesting.

2 big mugs every morning, black, and a cheap pick me up instant with coffee creamer and sugar in the afternoon. I got a grinder for Christmas and not only has it upped the quality of my weekend coffee, but it has added a cool tradition to our weekend routine where I grind a decaf for my wife and then the dark French roast for myself. I can get bulk Starbucks at Costco at a good price I was just noticing this morning how even the color has improved when I grind it - a rich, dark, chocolaty color that gets my mouth watering just watching it pour into the cup. During the week I brew up preground Nabob Expresso grind which is good, utilitarian, and well priced as I'll buy it at Safeway whenever it comes on sale - usually have at least 5 on hand - yeah, I love coffee. Roasting my own is probably the next step for me.

I might be alone here but I really love my coffee with a splash of whisky. No, not in the morning c'mon.

 

[Mike M.]

Oh, I need my mug of coffee on the way to work in the morning. I also take a small thermos with me that equals about two cups that I drink throughout the day. On the weekends I love taking my time with two cups of coffee.

Very seldom do I drink it in the evenings but when I do it's decaf.

Cream only.

Hmm... might hafta try that.

What's wrong with morning???

 

[aborgman]

Have you ever tried going without it to see?

Oh yeah. I didn't drink a drop for the week I was on vacation last year, occasionally take weekends off... no headaches, no irritability, nothing.

well... what's a "morning"?

 

[Frank Tuesday]

Can't stand coffee. Even the smell of it brewing bothers me.

You're dead to me.

 

[Tom Bomb]

On a café drip nightly - four degrees in now and I'm hardcore - no turning back - umpteen pulverized nodoze pills over carrot juice by the gallon, percolated for two hours through a bounteous batch of badly banged-up Black Market Bolivian Bouncing Beans thrice daily. Otherwise it's Withdrawal City for me - misshapen mammoth migraines and marauding mutant mocha menopause




Great thread! Very enjoyable Thanks slo!

 

[Lowness]

I drink at least 2 strong lattes each day.

I never touch Starbucks.

 

[CrashClint]

I don't drink much straight coffee. I have a Rancilio Silvia Espresso machine set on a timer at home and a old Breville EXLS800 at work (it gets limited use). I will normally make two cappuccinos each morning and on days I work from home I may throw in a third. For my Cappuccinos I use Horizon organic milk and either Klatch House Espresso I order out of CA or I will order Counter Culture - Big Trouble out of Durham, NC. Both have a nice nutty chocolate finish.

 

[sissy kathy]

I used to drink it all day every day, stopped about 20 years ago, now maybe a cup a month, tea has taken its place. My brother, on the other hand, can fall asleep holding a cuppa' joe.

Few things smell worse than a burning pot of coffee because some lazy dimwit put a pot with 2 oz. in it back on the burner.*gags*
