Coffee

[Limper]

I make it strong and drink it black. Recently I've been using the Archer Farms varieties (Target's brand) and they are actually pretty good... plus it saves the 40 mile trip to the coffee and tea utopia store in the distant burbs.

We are about to start carrying a brand that is new here at my coffeehouse. The son-in-law moved to Columbia and started a bean plantationa dn father-in0law lives in NC and roasts the beans there.

I personally do not drink coffe but my customers seems to love this stuff.

Sounds tasty.

Do you drink tea?

Yeah, last count I think we offered somehting like 12 kinds of tea here.

Re-drop me an address and I can send you a coffee sample and you can tell me what you think.

I have to really control my caffeine, if I get into the habit of drinking coffee and then miss a day I get horrible withdrawal migraines. So I have to space it out, which is a good way to save money anyway.

Since I usually only have it one morning a week I just go to the local coffee shop. I used to like it black but lately I've been getting lattes.

We usually get Starbucks from Target where the price is reasonable. I actually hate the way they make it in the stores themselves. I prefer homemade better. Strong, black, lots of sugar. Two cups, and I'm good to go.

I'm a complete Gevalia convert. Got sucked in by the free coffeemaker and ended up loving both coffeemaker and coffee. It's a rare treat for us, too, as I already overcaffeinate with diet dr. pepper, but damn that stuff is good.

I like coffee in froo-froo flavors like french vanilla, chocolate raspberry, irish cream, amaretto hazelnut, etc. and I also ply it with splenda and half & half. It's more like dessert than coffee.

Folgers, it was good enough for Pop it's good enough for me

[Dawnstar]

I am not a big Coffee drinker. i will when I go out with friends because it seems "go grab a coffee" is code for "I really need someone to vent to". But then it is usually the froo froo type drinks.

I tend to go for Colombian beans for my regular cup of joe, brand doesn't matter as long as light can slightly penetrate the brew. For my flavored cups though I'm fond of Millstone's Chocolate Velvet in decaf. They're Arabic beans, which tend to taste bitter to me, so I make a 4:1 blend with my regular. The smell is wonderful and with a tad sweetener and cream it tastes like hot chocolate.

[Black Angel]

I love a good coffee. Latte preferably, but homemade cappucino is good too (we have an espresso machine at home).

I'm afraid American-style coffee just doesn't cut the mustard for me though. Your Starbucks is pretty crap. We are very spoilt here in Oz with many great cafes, so why settle I say.

[Pigs in Space]

Got to agree with the wife here - those gigantic super long filtered weak-as-piss coffee's are shit. And taste like it too!

Coffee is not supposed to be a huge gallon drink, it's a nice cup, strongly flavoured, full of heaven, based on espresso, and milked/frothed as you like.

What if I want a gallon of that strongly flavored, full of heaven, based on espresso, milked/frothed as you like coffee goodness? :neenerneener:

When making coffee for work I buy whatever is on sale Max, Nabob, Folgers, etc. I take it with cream and sugar.

Gevalia is my favorite as well. Thankfully, Gevalia is the biggest brand on the market here, so it's not hard to come by. It's a Swedish brand, though I hope they don't ship the coffee beans to Sweden first before shipping them back to America. Seems like a waste...

They have to put the Swedish crack in there at some point.

Damn Swedes. Recently hooked me on Frey chocolate, too. Blood orange and cinnamon white chocolate. Holy hellfire.

We have a Keurig machine at home. And the coffee we have in our cabinet right now is: Newman's Own Extra Bold Special Blend, Tully's Kona Blend, Newman's Own Decaf Special Blend. We also have Gloria Jean's Chai, Bigelow Earl Grey, Twinings Green Tea, and Green Mountain Hot Cocoa.

The coffee at work is Starbucks, but it's best in the cafeteria where they control how they make it. The dick who drank the last of the coffee in the pot doesn't always wash it or make the next pot the way it should be made. Sometimes you end up with weak as shit coffee and other times, it's too strong.

I generally take my coffee with whole milk and 2 packets of Splenda. But if it's good coffee, I'll drink it black. I do like a latte every now and then. This summer, I've found a love for iced coffee.

The tea we have at home is pretty much for me. I try to drink at least one cup of tea every day...at work or at home.

I love iced mochachinos.

[keryn]

I love iced mochachinos.
I've discovered they're better made at home. Simply make double strength coffee (or tea for that matter), add your milk, sugar, chocolate, etc. while it's still hot. Then fill a tall glass with ice and pour the hot stuff over it. Easy and you get the mix of flavors that you want.

[pandiculator]

Folgers, it was good enough for Pop it's good enough for me

Damn right. I put milk in it, but not sugar.

I also love tea...but, not for caffeine.

[Atropine Mama]

On that note, I'll often make a pot of chai, put it in a plastic container, stir honey into it while it's hot, and put it in the fridge when it's cooled off.

That way, all I have to do to make good iced chai is grab ice and milk.

Nummy nummy nummy... will have to do that tonight.

I highly recommend a Keurig machine for those that like coffee but hate brewing a pot and letting it go to waste. With Keurig, you can make individual cups. I used to have a Folgers machine that let you make single cups but I got tired of the same coffee every day. Keurig has a lot of variety (http://www.keurig.com/category.asp?Cat%5FID=36&web%5Fname=ALL+PRODUCTS&mscsid=D40Q8DXUKKEH8LL6URCX2LNADPMWA6S0) to choose from.

We have an industrial sized one of those machines at my work, and unlimited supply of like, 15-20 different coffee and tea packets. It's pretty sweet.

(Would be sweeter if I actually drank coffee. :o )

I do not understand this... if you only want a cup and not a pot concept?

I average a pot a day and often twice that.

How many more cups until you start moving faster than light?

Depends on the type of coffee and the way its prepared. If I make a pot of turkish style I can beat myself to the first cup.

[Prorpger]

I noticed that someone put Folgers in our work stash Limper. Folgers isn't bad it's just boring. Far better than Ronocco(sp?) that black tar is just way to accidy.

The worst coffee I've ever had was in an orderlly room at Ft. Riley, The 1st Sgt. never would clean the carafe just swirl water and dump it every morning. Crap built up and BLACK on the bottom and strong enough to eat enamel, it didn't help that it was chickory either, crazy fuckin coonass :)
