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.

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 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.

That's like adding milk to a cup before the tea.... criminal :)
I quit coffee about 3 months ago and i always add the milk to the mug before the tea and water:lol:
My electric went out right before I made mine this morning, and now I see the allure of a French press.
When I was drinking coffee this was my preferred way. A $20 press from TJ Maxx and fresh ground beans.

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.

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.

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.
