"COFFEE"

[jacksbuddy]

i've been on a seattle's best kick - henry's brew (medium) or the breakfast blend (dark roast) - full 12 scoops per pot, no sugar, no splenda, no filler, no fluff, no cream - kicks in da'nuts... reams ya'out right.... bad breath.... stout and black - and a thermos full goes to work with me!!!

And what, pray tell, do you do for a living? Heavy Equipment Demolition?

on my 50-11th cup right now. Make 8 cups of straight black STRONG coffee at 5:15 am and drink it before I go to work where i start drinking the "work" coffee. I usually quit about now and will pick up again around 2:00 and have a couple of cups in the afternoon. When I was a wittle bitty boy, about 6 or 7, I had to put sugar and milk in it. I balme that on my mom. She should have taught me to drink it black then.

I have had coffe brought to me from honduras and belize. It is quite amazing. The folgers and junk we get around here is the dregs. They keep the good stuff there!

True story:

My grandmother used to drink 2 cups of coffee with her breakfast every morning. Then she'd have a cup or two while visiting with the ladies from church at around mid-morning. Then she'd have a glass of ice tea with her lunch. Two glasses if it was hot that day. She'd have a cup of coffee with her desert after lunch. Then at about mid-afternoon, she and her sisters would get together for coffee, where she'd have another two cups. She'd have a glass of ice tea with her supper, followed by a cup of coffee with her desert after the evening meal. And finally, she'd have a cup of coffee before bed every evening. Mind you, this does not include the coke she'd drink after working in her garden, if she so happened to do so.

Would you believe that she complained about being unable to sleep on occassion? Go figure.

New guy we just hired came in this morning, filled up his giant booty mug from MY coffee pot then asks where the sugar and milk is! I replied "there isn't any" so he turns and dumps down the the freakin' sink! WTF!

As for good coffee, several years ago there was a co-op here in Starkville that you could join and get shipments twice a month. All kind of good stuff. I'd get 5lbs of whole bean a month. lot better than the stuff you get around here now. These days you have to go to Tuscaloosa or Jaxson if you want something else besides 8 o'clock or starbucks.

A big hails yeah on the french press

Has anyone tried the "pod" coffee makers? Now that I'm single there ain't much point in a whole pot at the house on weekdays. Usually just wait til I get to the office but considering this as an option ta get dem bowels flowin' alittle earlier.

Community with chicory, black!!! is my daily standard. However, the best coffee I ever drank I purchased down in Colombia, the stuff was the Colombian equivalent of "Folgers”( or how should I say very Common with the locals in Medellin and the rest of the country); this stuff was smooth as silk and carried quite the wallop!! Wish I could get my hands on some now!!!,

Edit:

Never thought about searching the web for it, looks like I can get it!!! Last time I was in Colombia was 1999. Gonna be buying me some Cafe Sello Rojo

I usually drink community dark roast or the chichory. I'm currently working on a pound of Blue Mountain my brother brought me back from Jamacia. Good chit.

Lots of hands talking about being in Columbia....yall own a dc-10 bring snow back or what? Didnt think there was that much to do there.

I told myself when I started working I wasnt going to be the person who has to have their coffee before they can function...im getting older and realize thats a pipe dream. I like Community myself and havent tried any of these newfangled brews. Hot, black, and strong like my women tdaggett, you are correct sir. Our office recently did away with the home style coffee maker(5 of us here) and went to a commercial grade one that Kentwood(yea the water people) put out. Coffee maker is cool, but the brew=woof! that chit is disgusting. They have some other blends that we might try but this right here is horrible.

3 pots a day. The thicker the better. Keeps a fella real regular. If it were'nt for the goodness of good black coffee, I wouldn't make it past 11 a.m. Drink it right up to bedtime, and sleep like a baby. Think I'll go have a cup right now!

Worse coffee I drink anywhere is in South America. They traditionally drink maté and make coffee to accommodate foreign guests that tastes like a bastardized greek type cowboy coffee way too strong that perks you up, but would otherwise probably make a decent wood stain.

I'll put that up against the watered-down buzzard piss they serve to our Vets at the VA. It is rarely warm, always weak, partially burnt, and probably made from week old grounds.

Can it even be called coffee?!

The Keurig brewer at work is fantastic. I don't have to keep my own coffee and put up with the constant headache of people mooching.

I just never understood the need to adulterate good coffee with sugar and cream! It's just an unneccesary complication of an otherwise simple nicety.

But, the discussion did stimulate an old memory from college days, when several skipped classes caused by the need to be in the woods, had me up several nights in a row writing the infernal essay. Being penniless due to the previously mentioned woods explorations, I did resort to instant Sanka. I know...bad juju! But I resurrected myself by not mixing it with water, but simply sucking on it from a spoon while sitting before the almighty Selectric typewriter.

To this day, I believe that one act created within myself the need to suckle from the breast of a non -lactationg woman. Even in my advancing age, that desire falls upon my imagination still!

I confess this before the coffee court and ask for a rendering of the judgement of normalcy, perhaps even manly.

crow

Crow- you are "tha man"!! I never considered "dippin" the stuff but as much coffee as i drink in a day, i am willing to give it a try. And the fantasies about the non lactates- perfectly normal in my book and i submit that NO ONE will be taking away your man card!
"All HAIL THE CROW"........................aw hell!

[donia]

all for a judgement of normalcy and manly upon crow, sound with an "aye".....any opposed, sound with a "nay"....what say ye?



aye
