Coffee

[sureshotbob]

I make a pot of decaf every morning for my wife as she has acid reflux.
I can't stand it so I go to a local breakfast restaurant every morning and have 2 cups of there black fresh ground coffee .
I also go to socialize with several people I see daily.

I like my coffee like I like my women..
cold & bitter... lol..
not really... but there is a place in KC that makes one of my favorites... the Roasterie... they have a chocolate coffee blend that is wonderful... CHRISTOPHER ELBOW CAFE AU CHOCOLAT

Hi, my name is Krogen and I'm a .... homeroaster.

Yeah, really I'm a coffee snob. Once I started roasting it ruined me. Can't (won't?) go back to "ordinary" coffee. This afternoon I roasted some Java Wet Hulled Frinsa Estate. eh? Yep it's a mouthful. But it sure is tasty.

coffee = hot black and a lot.....at home or out.....

It's the only coffee allowed in the house. Black, no frills.[/QUOTE]

I like coffee and chicory and Cafe DuMond is one of my favorites. There are other coffee and chicory coffees that are just as good.

1-3 cups in the morning when at home, varies greatly when I am traveling. I am not attached to any specific brand or blend, regular or unleaded. I am constantly experimenting with different creamers, baileys, Kaluha, etc. Essentially coffee is more of a morning activity than anything else.

I actually like Starbucks (gasp [emoji16])

I worked for Starbucks back in its early days, 1992. The training class lasted a week. Had to make every drink it sold and know everything about each line of beans. Learned more about coffee than I knew existed.

The bennies were all the coffee drinks we wanted while working and a free pound of beans every week. Needless to say, I was wired! Never really cared all that much for what they brewed in the store, my brew was better. Still buy the stuff, but usually only when on sale.

If I had to drink coffee black I wouldn't drink it.

My wife like Starbucks Sumatra.

I drink Maxwell House Master Blend with milk and sugar.

The best cup of coffee I ever drank was on a cold, wet March Saturday in St Clair County, Alabama. A friend asked if a second friend and I would help rid his family farm of the beavers that damming up the creeks on the property and flooding the fields. Greg and I walked those fields along the creeks, wading them several times. Temps were in the 40s F, with rain. We were both carrying 1911s and M1 carbines.

After 3-4 hours of wet, we had seen no beavers. When we got back to the farmhouse, my buddy's momma made a hot pot of coffee. A couple of cups with sugar (she didn't have any milk or cream) were the nectar of the gods!

I am Mr. Ugly.. a Java addict- I was going O/S on leave at my folks house happy like slurping black coffee and cleaning guns before I went to peace time Korea.

The second day I got a mega migraine reminded me of the Arnold kid movie "It might be a tumor"- thought my head was going to explode.

My Mom said "oh we switched to decafe"

Beat feet to get a giant real coffee and a bag of real beans.!

Recovery was total..

Best coffee I ever had was Kona but the BX stopped stocking it.

Evil S.B's Komodo Dragon is now my poison mostly.

"Hot as Hades- Black as Sin"! Ala Balzac.

It has to be.

Except when I put some raw honey in it.

Tasty stuff that!

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 only had to look sriracha up.

 

[lihpster]

The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true.

 

[Neversink n Klapperthal]

after trying Gevalia Colombian I just cant drink anything else. To me its the best coffee ive ever had

 

[zeke]

Like dunkin donuts in the coffe maker, then milk/sugar. During holidays, plus p irish creme gets added. Occasionally put Hershey's chocolate syrup in it.

 

[Kurusu]

The flagon with the dragon has the brew that is true.

The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle.

"The Court Jester" and the great Danny Kaye are fond memories of my youth.

 

[Sgt911]

Folgers Coffee House, but grew up drinking Community.

 

[Donn]

Folger's 100% Columbian in the morning, thru my trusty Bunn coffee maker. For single cups during the course of the day, the Keurig gets the call. Picked up some Black Rifle Beyond Black pods yesterday.

 

[FlyFish]

Another vote for Peet's Major Dickason's. From time to time we'll try something else just to experiment, but we always come back to Major Dickason's. We mix regular and decaf 50-50 so we can drink more than a few cups (black) in the morning without getting too wired.

Fund Raiser indicates Elitism among NPR coffee drinkers.

Local NPR station is having the Spring Fund Raiser.

For about the cost of a cup of coffee, $5 a month you can receive a pair of socks with station logo.

I have an unwanted image of elitist old women wearing logo socks with Bikenstock sandals ...

For those with "Friends in Low Places" here is a comment.
From Better Class of Loser bu Randy Travis

This up-town living's really got me down
I need friends who don't pay their bills on home computers
And who buy their coffee beans already ground

Back to my second cup of Folgers Instant ...

I think the single serve plastic containers are a real danger to dolphins if combined with a discarded china flu mask for a sort of flying waste bomb. -"Looks like a jellyfish", Bill Nye stated.
