The Coffee Thread

Why Not......What Happened...



Cheers Glen.

 

I should add "..... from a mug...."

it sort of spills, a bit

 

I used to hate coffee. Then I put sugar in it. Now I drink instant at work if I'd flagging, and also at uni if it's getting late and I need a pick up. Tried the real stuff but it's too bitter for me, I need 2 and a half sugars for real coffee and just 1 sugar in instant, so not only in instant easier to make, it's better for my teeth too ^^ Sort of..

 

Oh, so you drink your coffee without water too?

Not sure I like the sound of a milkshake without any flavor...

 

I've been known to munch on a bean or a dozen cupful worth.... And not the chocolate coated ones, either.

Drinking another black espresso now.

 

i'm a total coffee fiend... i don't think i could wake up without it (there's been a few poorly planned out camping trips this year that have left me without coffee and it sucks)
my boyfriend and i usually switch between folger's and maxwell house every can... we can't really afford anything special unfortunately. i also have like a hierarchy of to go coffee in my head - like mcdonald's has greeeeeaaat coffee, timmie's is second, gas stations come third, and lastly, a&w. a&w tastes like thick motor oil.
i don't really eat a lot of "fast food" i'll usually go in to specifically grab a coffee or tea.

 

If I go camping, my cafetiere is the first thing that gets packed

 

I love coffee but I hate it when I drink it after an hour or two i start to crash and get all shaky and what not

 

I drink it pretty much every day and no matter where I get it, it doesnt really have a rich coffee flavor. Most of it tastes like brown water and even the coffee kiosks around are about the same. Once in awhile when I travel,I'll get some that has a real good rich flavor---this is hard to describe--but does anyone know of an an EXCELLANT rich tasting coffee that can be bought----somewhere?

 

Instant coffee is shyte and Nestle is an immoral company. They sell formula to African women. Breast milk is the best start a baby could have in a country like that. Not to mention the formula is often mixed with dirty water....
Just to complete my jackass hippie save-the-world snobfuck post, I will say that whenever possible I buy free trade beans and prefer a medium-dark roast. I make my coffee with a french press and drink it with rice milk and agave nectar.

I drink coffee because I love the taste.. pick up is nice.. jitters are useful at work

I grew very fond of instant coffee as well when I was traveling around NZ at the hostels, and made getting really good stuff all the better.

 

I do the fair trade thing as well

 

Yep, they make instant coffee.

 

qft.

 

So here's a dumb question, I'm not entirely up to date with internet talk so what does qft mean?

 

in my ideal world i'm buying green beans - ethiopian harar or something even nicer from yemen, whatever looks good from indonesia - i like sweet marias as a source because they're careful and honest and detailed

then i'm firing up one of the roasters [air poppers, popeil rotisserie w/ basket, or simply a saucepan over a high flame] in the basement and making the perfect mocha-java blend

in my ideal world i've got a gas range so i'm brewing in a vacuum pot, and the coffee is an elixir

in the real world i have to use food stamps at the grocery store so i'm buying the bulk stuff which was roasted a month or two ago and came from god-only-knows where and costs twice as much [yemen aside] as the good stuff

and boiling water for a swissgold drip thingamajig, and the coffee is, well, barely acceptable - why can't i keep a thrift store french press for longer than a week before i break the damn glass?

[sucks to be a moneyless snob]

 

I buy Starbucks Columbian Roast. Because I'm Caucasian like that.

 

haha nice :2thumbsup:

I used to drink this amazing colombian coffe (can't remember the name), but now I have no money

 

it means "learn to use google"

actually, it's "quoted for truth"
