Off topic - let's live dangerously today. What do you prefer for your coffee/ caffeine fix?

I don't really care for cold brew, but Starbucks made the little grenade bottles and one of them was Cocoa and Honey with Cream. That stuff is amazing. I noticed that I can't find it anywhere these days.

I just liked it because it wasnt as acidic as drip

I just heard this and it made me laugh because of this thread. At 3:00 if the que didn't work.

No, I just get really depressed and lose the will to function. That's no shit. I go through about $120/month in expresso. My buddy I grew up with was spending $100/week at starbucks between him and his wife. He bought some $500 expresso maker off amazon. That's too rich for my blood I don't grind my own anymore though I use to. I like the sumatra coffee because it's low in acid and I can brew it strong without wrecking my stomach.

just discovered the sumarten myself, verry nice grind first thing. you realy should get a coffee maker, bollox to spending that much at a coffee shop

I drink 8-12 cups of cafe bustello espresso a day

I can't drink it past noon or it keeps me up at nights. So I got some Decaf whole bean and now have no problem going to sleep. But wake up at 3am.

I’ve had good instant coffee, the trick is to add the coffee to the water, not the hot water to the coffee

Add water to the coffee? What kind of animal would do that! That's like adding milk to a cup before the tea.... criminal

My electric went out right before I made mine this morning, and now I see the allure of a French press.

Better get a hand grinder too. I have a cheap pocket sized one. But you have to crank it about 15 minutes to grind it down to the fine powder I like. Found the cordless drill cuts that time down to a couple minutes.

I quit coffee about 3 months ago and i always add the milk to the mug before the tea and water

When I was drinking coffee this was my preferred way. A $20 press from TJ Maxx and fresh ground beans.

A mug of tea? Colonial savage

Ruby Red Squirt.

What sucks is that Ruby Red Squirt still has caffeine in it but "ordinary" Squirt hasn't.

Ground lavazza rosa with cream and a stove too coffee pot cant drink much else

 

[icetech]

What i kinda want is one of those big silver percolators that used to sit in gas stations all day and just put out lovely tar

That or a BUNN diner coffee maker.

 

[icetech]

K... you guys are killin me... ordered a percolator...

 

[Armillaria caligata]

Do any folks dig Turkish coffee, pulverized rather than coarse ground so that the cup has "silt" in it? I tried it when I lived in San Francisco. It is the one thing I have tasted thus far which is bitterer than I am.

I grind mine as fine as I can and then use a french press. It gets thick sometimes.

Percolator showed up last night.. and i bought a big can of Chock full o nuts (they use a metal container no plastic! instant sale) and am drinking some gloriously thick tar-like coffee

DeathWish Coffee. I recommend it. I tried it out not long before giving up the stuff. The robusta beans offset the acidic aftertaste and man is that some potent coffee

Back in the 80's my wife and I spent a week in Rio de Janeiro. Some fancy hotel on Copacabana beach. Burt that is where my love of strong coffee and real cream started. There was always someone around with a hot pot of coffee and cold cream to serve, usually in a 50/50 mix.
