How do you like your coffee??? survey

Post Reply New Topic

I love freshly ground coffee. I grind the whole beans myself. I hate crap like Folgers, Maxwell House. There used to be a coffee house that sold Kenyan AA for 13 bucks a lb, but they closed 5 years ago. I now get some 8 bucks a lb Guatemalen coffee from a organic food grocery.

I used to use heavy cream in my coffee, bur now switched over to lots of half and half. I have been using a French press to brew the coffee.

Now I have ben drinking tea. Never drank it before. Only started because my mom's house doesn't have a coffee maker. Plus the gren and white teas have lots of anti-oxidants, which are theorized to prevent cancer.

My favorite tea is English breakfast. Strong ,but great flavor. I found some in the back of my cabinets. Earl Grey tastes weird. Earl Grey has something called Bergamont, whihc I assume is causing the taste. Captain Picard drinks it , so I tried it.WHite tea also tastes funny, but it has the most anti-oxidants; threetimes more than green. Very expensive for bags. Even more for loose leaf.

My cousin's wife gave my mom some excellent loos leaf green tea. I drink all my teas without milk or sugar. Else it just tastes like milk and sugar water. I found a box of bagged gren te downstairs, but it is too strong. The directions for the loos leaf green tea is in another language, and my mom's eyesight is too bad to read the small print. THe website directions are a bit vague. The directions sy 1-2 spoons per person. Is that teaspoons or tablespoons? Then it says use 100ml of water that is bolied and sitting for 5 miuntes to get to 70-80 degrees. Then brew 1-2 minutes. I assume it is 100 ml per person. What the hell is 100 ml? It is something like .42 cups.

Black, no sugar. How can people poison their coffee with sugar? :b

I do not care for coffe. Prefer diet soft drinks and sometimes caffine pills

coffee , creamer with one sugar
lattes and mochas are what have given me about 20 extra pounds since i moved to washington! love them must stay away from them

Wine with coffee. An idea I like.

Strong, plenty of semi-skimmed milk, no sugar, silly 12 oz mug. I usually have 3 cups in a morning, one in the afternoon. Unless I'm on an all night computer session lol...

I like vanilla bean frappuccinos from Starbucks. There isn't any coffee in those. I hate coffee.

i love my whiskey

oh, man..now those are deeee-licious! cappuccinos are also my favorite..especially cookies-n-cream flavor..

Huge mug, a bit of milk or incredibly milky with loads of sugar. Have two cups and then you feel ill if you try to run.

mmm sorry guys but i think my bf gave me his continuous cold.. i only had a cold like bout 2wks ago.. oh well anyways a coffee is great for clearing out hte throat when you have a cold.. k later guys i am having cervix surgery on tuesday 10/5/05 wish me luck guys its day surgery tho.. abnormal cells

I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya. Just had to go in to re-do a test myself cos the nurse botched the last test (thought she discovered some ancient treasure in there she spent so long prodding about ).

Hey thanks very very much! i only had a colposcopy done last month and after the biopsy part, i just chundered and spewed!! (i joked with the nurse saying that at least i WARNEd them i was gonna spew up! lol) k byes this stupid cold is a big pain and all these aussie big brother pple all look like all old pissed about farts.

LOL yeah true, most people don't!

(Incidentally the nurse this time had a massive coughing fit, had me praying that she wouldn't slip or antything!)


Maybe they are?

Good luck with the surgery.

My perfect morning:

Jamaica Blue Mountain beans are being crushed in my grinder. The grounds go into my French press coffee maker. Water heated to 180F is poured in. After two minutes, the plunger goes down. The color is darkest red-brown, and the aroma is soft, strong, and almost syrupy. Light cream, warmed in the microwave, goes into the heated cup with the coffee. One teaspoon of sugar gets stirred in. For the next few minutes, nothing matters except the velvety hot wonder of some of the best coffee anywhere.

One should note that this scenario contrasts starkly with my everyday reality. While I am certainly a coffee addict and a bit of a coffee snob, I usually wind up with whatever brown ground stuff is on sale. I do draw the line at instant.
