Coffee (What'cha'drink?)

[haraldo]

I absolutely love coffee made Ukranian style, which is made as follows:
- Add heaps of sugar
- Must boil up three times, very quickly
- Add full cream

Coffee must be enjoyed with special kinds of sweets that matches the taste specifications of the coffee, and there must be candles and romantic setting....

Must have some special kind of coffee, don't know which properties makes the coffee different from other kinds, but when this is perfect

Nothing at Starbucks comes even close

Agreed! Well above average prices for an average at best cup of coffee. I had one of their guatemalan blends once and it was disgusting, the columbian blend cup of coffee was o.k, not nearly worth the price.

See how this works? A ~reasonably~ smart guy with tools at his disposal but still missing the obvious.

Tommy,

Make the coffee work for you. With coffee you can master the poop cycle. Wake up a little early.
Have a coffee. Take a dump. Wash your @$$. Go to work.

You won't have to use strange toilets ever. You won't be the guy who smells like he just took a dump.
You'll be more productive at work. The economy will improve and we'll be able to afford to:

(To the Beach Boys tune of Barbra-Anne)
Bomb, bomb, bomb ... Bomb Ira-a-an!

... I just couldn't help it! ...

ROTFLMAO!!

I have a Saeco Easy super automatic espresso machine that grinds, tamps, and brews espresso with one button and steams milk with a second button. I'm too lazy to do it all myself. The machine works great though and produces excellent espresso once it's dialed in.

I use nothing but Batdorf & Bronson beans. They are local but they also sell online. Their tasting room/roaster in Olympia WA by the farmers market is a great place to taste all of the blends 100% fresh. I usually use the Dancing Goats blend but I mix it up every once in a while with some of the many other blends. During the holiday season I snap up as much Holiday Blend as I possibly can. It is superb! I usually make a cappuccino with a little sugar but once in a while I throw in a bit of DaVinci hazelnut flavoring. Yum!

My Pop's from Italy, and he's been drinking espresso since birth. I like espresso, but he drinks it like water. I swear he is the only person I know who drinks it just before he goes to bed, and is out cold as soon as his head hits the pillow.
Anyway, got off track there. Kimbo espresso(beans or ground), is supposedly the best amoung the conaseurs of espresso. LaVazza espresso is suppose to be the close second place finisher in that category. So THEY say anyway. There is Kimbo Espresso all over our house!
My father is such a fanatic about having his espresso, that we have one of those crazy"does everything" Saeco machines here at home, another one at his condo in Chicago(that's where he works), one in the condo in Florida, and he even bought one to have in my brother's house across town. Me, I like it, but it's not a necessity. Give me the brown stuff! Joe B.

Where Starbucks is good, though, is when you are away from home. Starbucks is great in airports and on the road.

I'm drinking some McDonalds coffee right now, going to grab some Einsteins on the way to work. Missed that whole sleep thing last night.

This McDonalds coffee needs more kick. I dig the top though, very functional.

Certainly like the thing saying that content is hot

That warning has been a legal requirement ever since some woman spilled hot coffee on herself and then sued McDonalds, like it was their fault!
