I second that. Coffee is the ambrosia of the gods.

It's especially good with a dash of spiced chai, or if it's black creme brulee with a squirt of apple syrup (it may sound icky, but it actually tastes like a caramel apple...don't get me wrong, though...I love coffee-flavored coffee just as much. With lots of sugar and powdered cow).

We've moved to Florida (it sucks...one big ant hill/high school USA). I work as a barista now, so I've gotten to try coffees from all over the world. I have to say, though, Jamaican Blue Mountain, which is $40/lb, didn't impress me. Haitian Bleu is excellent, though. I can even drink it black, which I normally can't do. It's very smooth. Cool Cafe Blues and Creme Brulee are nice and caramel-y.

Of course, I'll settle for Folger's Instant if necessary.

Maxwell House is crap, though. I'd rather drink tea than drink Maxwell House. Nasty, nasty, p-tooey! Bleech!

they have baristas at starbucks you know....


hows troubleshooter? buried in the backyard yet?

Coffee got my homework done tonight, instead of me passing out from exhaustion due to planning a first birthday party.

If coffee make you drinkers so energetic, why the hell can't you clean up after yourselves?
Always drips on the floor leading away from the pot. Sugar, creamer and dirty spoons all over. Brown rings and empty, or worse, almost empty, cups where they shouldn't be. Half full cups on tables, shelves, the copy machine, computer terminals or in wastebaskets, lurking like land mines.

OMG without a doubt coffee is evil - on the weekends if I sleep in and my husband has a cup or two, he's giving me the stink eye until I have my tea and get my ass moving

I cannot even begin to conceive how "coffee" and "evil" got stuck together in the same goddamn phrase.

Coffee...good.

Coffee is neither good nor evil. coffee has been my drink of choice for 30 years, why the flavor and the slight lift I get from the caffeine. I have never had a decaf that was any good. Once you figure out how to brew your coffee with out it becoming bitter you can truly enjoy the complexity, and flavor of the brew. Once I got away from home and learned how to make coffee with out scorching it I was able to research and come up with new brewing and serving methods for the wicked brew.
Oh BTW my favorite coffees come from South East Asia.

Lady Sidhe! How've y'been? Long time no see!

Philistine.

Keep your eyes shut, and you won't have to see the stink eye. :p

From here:

But remember, by the tenets of homeopathy, the less fluoride there is in the water, the more powerful it is!

Hey, the active principle in a homeopathic remedy is faith.

I am a coffee snob. I prefer good coffee. Not the burnt bean of a $4 Starbucks or similar brand either, but I will drink it on occassion. I want good 100% bean coffee. African coffee is good, so is some of the Indonesian beans. 100% Columbian is a must. Melita is our brand of choice for daily drinking. Illy is very good, from Italy, but to strong for a lot of people, I buy it mail order by the case. I drink 3 to 6 cups a day.

Yabbut, the Bucks burns it better than many of the other big chains.
