Coffee!
Permalink  


What's your favorite type of coffee?  Maxwell House, gourmet, espresso...?  At home, I usually have Jamaican coffee, and I have a stovetop percolator and I grind my own beans.  From the illustrious Starbucks and any other coffee shop, I usually get a caramel au lait.

I don't have much of a preference between grocery store brands - we buy foldgers and it works for me.


but I do love the flavored creams - try hazelnut!! Yumm!!!


Then sometimes it depends where you buy your cup of coffee.  There is one shop that I go past when I get off the train I started getting coffee there this week.  I can't resist it - it is so good!!  They say it's Starbucks but I think it's better.  So basically I think it depends on the place.

We usually get Sumatra from Caribou, or French Roast.  Never touch the standard ones like Maxwell House or Foldgers because my wife has a horrible reaction to them.  Don't know why, but all the regular commercial brands really upset her stomache.  Our church serves a brand called Pura Vida (Fair Trade company) and it's pretty darn good as well.  For an individual drink, I got'ta have my Mocha!

and here's another thing.  I have to have sweetener in my coffee.  If it's the pink or blue stuff - just one but spelenda I need two.  now I prefer spelenda but we have to buy the huge box from costco for it to last.


how does everyone else take there coffee?

I always have to have sugar in my coffee.  I just can't drink it black.  I like a little skim milk in it, but I deal with the powdered creamer we have at work, or I just go without any sort of milk or cream.

Cream and a little too much sugar.  But I'll take it with one of those or black if necessary.  It is one vice that I really do need to watch.

I have to have two cups everyday. Any kind, one splenda and real milk. I used to love creamer, but the calories outweigh the taste!

Never touch the stuff. I don't like the smell.


I will stick with hot tea or cocco.

there is a local brewer here in town called Alterra. Once you have drank their brew, it is hard to be satisfied with anything else! Starbucks is a distant second, wouldn't even touch coffee in a can anymore!

Here's an interesting point.  When I was in Germany our whole group was blown away at how much better European coffee was.  Our tour guide explained that the US is still the second customer to the coffee nations.  Since the Europeans were the ones who colonized this hemesphere and established all the trade routes, they still get the first and best pickings of the coffee harvest.  The US gets stuff from the second pickings.


Some loyalty, huh?

OH!  I got smacked, but still didn't spill my coffee.  Now, can I run around the boards with my hand raised and not spill.  A challenge!

Would this be anything like the carrying an egg on a spoon race?

Darn close, but I don't give a rat's rip about an egg.  My coffee is another story.  It has whipped cream on it.  Mmmmmmm!

Okay. Just don't spill it on yourself. I am sure that a coffee burn does double damage - once to your hand and then to your psyche because you can not drink what you spill.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Pizza goes with beer, not coffee.


Even if you have cold pizza for breakfast, you don't have it with coffee.

Pizza goes with beer, coffee goes with doughnuts, and I go.....at the end of the workday.


Signing off a little early today folks, have a good one.  I believe I am "IT"?

I like the plain old regular Folgers.  I don't care for the really robust ones that you do not even need a cup to drink it.  you just pour and it sits there in cup formation.


Will disagree with Star though, I think Kona, Hawaii coffee is the best.


Not to make any enemies, but anyone that puts cream and sugar in their coffee is not a real coffee drinker.  I like mine Black

I gave up cream and sugar about 8 yrs ago. I was working third shift, and always, always on that first sunday night back, we were out of one, or the other or both. Being 3rd shifters, we'd all freak out. SO the way I solved that anxiety was to become a black man........wait that just sounded so wrong........

I only drink coffee when all three of these conditons are met:
1. It's early in the day
2. I'm cold.
3. I'm tired

That's about the only time I desire it.

WEBGUY--You should try a steaming cup of hot coffee on the patio of my house in the middle of the afternoon.  It's 119 degrees.  The coffee is 190--and you just sit there and relax.


OK, so I am crazy
