Oh my. I think that coffee maker from amazon is going onto my wish list ...

Here in Louisiana coffee actually goes in the baby's bottle in some areas.

The last time I was in New Orleans I had a cup of coffee that was wonderfully rich, dark. People there told me it was because most of the coffee brewed in NO had a mixture of chicory in it. I'd love to know how to replicate it.

I love Starbucks. I've loved their coffee since we started buying it at Sam's clubs in CA in the early 90's. It just tastes better to me than all other coffees I've tried. We're between coffee machines right now so we've been getting them right from the shop lately. I wish I had a venti decaf soy latte right now...

I'm actually fairly healthy but there's a limit to what your body can do without break, if you want to go beyond that you have to start using..external assistance.

You don't replicate it, it's impossible, against the rules. And likely to get you stuffed on an airplane bound for anywhere north of the Manson-Nixon line to boot.

Here you go though: Community Coffee: New Orleans Roast

This is what I grew up on, and still drink when I go to my grandmother's house.

This is what I drink when given a choice.

Haven't had coffee in a great while, but when I did drink it, I would do a max of 2 cups/day. And it could not be plain (black). I *had* to have cream of some sort in it, and most times, it would be flavored, like hazelnut or vanilla.

And then, if I really wanted to treat myself, I'd do Starbucks mocha cappuchino (sp???). :thumpsup:

LOL that was wrong...but funny as shit.

Carbonated_Brains · 07-26-2004, 02:41 PM

That shit happened to me one time in some in-store Starbucks while I was in one of those big-box bookstores.

"You mean tall?"

"Small."

One thing I'd like to know regarding Carbonated_Brains' posted animation: where does one find a cup of coffee for fifty cents?

"Shmeesh! It's just 300 bucks, what is that, like a hundred cups of coffee?"

Carbonated_Brains · 07-26-2004, 02:56 PM

At work we have a machine which pours out brown turpentine and rat poison when you press the button that says "coffee"

and it's free!

Starbucks is the spawn of satan. They still get firebombed and vandalised over here on occasion, good. American pizza has it's charms be keep that awful shite that shouldn't be even compared to real coffee to yourselves.

Kitsune · 07-26-2004, 03:30 PM

Yeah? What's real coffee like? Are you talking about fru-fru European "coffee" in the dainty little cups?

Carbonated_Brains · 07-26-2004, 03:35 PM

Real coffee doesn't taste like it was ground on the floor of a coal mine.

jinx · 07-26-2004, 03:43 PM

Mmmmmm.... coal mine....
