Coffee

[Rustyt1953]

It has been a while since we had a coffee thread and I just felt like talking about the third most precious liquid (beer and sriracha being #1 and #2).

My needs are simple and ten years ago I settled on this as my daily fare:



I really like it. My day starts with three pieces of buttered wheat toast and a flagon of coffee. I generally take it with milk and sugar but I will occasionally change things up and use hazelnut creamer or a jigger of Bailey's or Jameson.

A forum member sent me some Black Rifle "Gunship" and now my love for my donut blend is on shaky grounds (pun intended).

So, what are some of your favorites as I now feel like experimenting. Online coffee reviews won't sway me nearly as much as hearing from the seasoned coffeeholics here.

TIA

I also have simple tastes. I take mine black and usually just have one large cup each morning.

My latest is pretty much anything in the Folgers 1850 lineup. The Pioneer and Trailblazer are probably my favorites.

Dark roast Sumatra ground daily, 4 heaping scoops in a French press. Black and strong.

Coffee.....I just can't drink that stuff straight.

Rusty,

I find your sophisticated language intimidating.

Three words in one post that I had to look up: sriracha, flagon, and jigger.

But then, what do I know, being a guy who drinks Folgers Instant

I've been drinking Salted Caramel coffee lately. I buy whole bean coffee and grind it up when I'm ready to make a pot.

I also bought a can with Chicory:

Kauai Coffee Company. Their garden isle variety. Hawaiian coffee is my favorite. But I gotta try some of that BRCC stuff. Might have to have 2 favorites. I like that they are veteran owned and 2A supporters.

I like Community Coffee . . .

Folgers, 3 to 5 cups/day. Maybe more in the winter.

Peet's Coffee, "Dark Roast Coffee," Major Dickason's Blend" In the K cap packs.

My morning coffee recipe:

Find a cup. One with the S&W logo is preferred.

Fill it 1/2 full with water.

Put it in the microwave and nuke it for 1 minute 10 seconds.

Put one heaping teaspoon of instant coffee in the cup and stir. I don't care what brand - they all suck. The stuff that follows will help to kill the taste.

Add a packet of artificial sweetener. I like the yellow-packeted ones. Stir again.

Add some milk to about the 3/4 level in the cup.

Grab some Bailey's Irish cream or its Costco equivalent. I think they are the same, except Costco charges about 1/2 the cost of Bailey's. Fill the cup nearly to the brim with it and stir.

Go watch the morning news. This coffee will help alleviate the shock of everything that went on while you slept.

This has become my favorite when I'm in the mood for a dark roast bean coffee.

Otherwise, it's McCafe Breakfast Blend (light roast) that's private labeled by Keurig.

Years ago I sold a knife to a fellow collector, he felt I under-charged him, so he sent me 10 lbs of Peet's. It's been my staple for a long time and I've made a lot of converts over the years.

I pick up Wyoming-processed beans at a reasonable price from the mom 'n' pop grocery in Lander, Wyo. (photo)

My Lady gave a pound of a heavily chocolated coffee to me for Christmas, and when it ran low I blended the last of it (40%) with 40% of my standard and 20% of a really mild bean. Might be the best coffee I've ever made.

I only have a few cups each morning, and I like good coffee.

Abstain

I have no choice, but to abstain from that aromatic, tasteful, enjoyable, delightful, beverage. It acts as the most instantaneous, violent, super effective laxative, that I've ever tried. Now that I'm entering into my 90th., year, I'm no longer fleet of foot, enough to make it to the restroom, after drinking, fresh brewed Coffee. "Oh, well", "I may have to, make do, with a taste of good Bourbon".

Drink it sitting on the toilet. You're 90. Who cares what others think.

I'm cheap, buy the grocery store house brand (HyVee) dark roast.

I actually like Starbucks (gasp [emoji16])

It's the only coffee allowed in the house. Black, no frills.
