coffee addicts unite

“sorry it took me so long to get with you on this subject. I just finished a pot of coffee.”

“Ha Ha!

I went out to breakfast with my in-laws and Barbie for breakfast yesterday. You should see them drink coffee.

They fill the cup up halfway with cofee, the other half is occupied with cream and sugar.

ICK!”

Roasting your own coffee. Only hobby I have that actually saves me money.

Millstone Pixie honey? I though better of you...

Robusto beans... i wouldn't feed that swill to a camp of Al Quaida suicide bombers.

And if your coffee bean is dark and oily that means it's overroasted. you want your oils on the INSIDE of the beans to be released upon application of hot water. You don't want it burned out of the bean during roasting.

And light roasted coffee has more caffine per unit lb then dark roasted coffee.

That is all for now... I'm not supposd to be TT'ing at work any more... :o”

“Women are allowed to use cream and sugar and order foo-foo drinks.”

“Ha ha! (in that Simpson's nasty kid voice)

DDX got caught! ;-)
(Hope I'm not next)”

“Hey!!! No cream and sugar for me, k!!!
Also dont' like flavored coffee's.

a little piece of frozen dark chocolate with my coffee would be nice though.”

“Arabica is for foo-foos also.

The Germans, like the Danes, truly know what coffee and chocolate should be. Love them.

“I think bearmaggot is my evil troll, or he's sittin' in my kitchen and watching me make my coffee.

Pathetic that I like my coffee like BM does.
Anyway, I am drinking 8 o'clock right now. Black, no sugar.

I used to drink flavored, then I stopped drinking flavored in the morning, then I drank a cup of coconut flavored coffee and almost puked. Never will drink any flavored coffee ever again!! That did it for me.”

“Wasn't really "caught" per sey... more of a "Since i'm trying to justify getting another engineer on the staff it doesn't help i you're screwing around on the internet" talk ;)

Which sucks because since I do Finite element Analysis for a living... 25% of my time is just sitting here staring at the wall while my computer crunches numbers. I'm in the middle of an analysis right now... which is on it's 30th minute. That's good internet browsing time!”

“Pathetic? This is what I get for trying to be nice? Fine.

A big "F you" to you, my German Witch.”

“;)”

“Ah, coffee, food of the gods. And me, after another sleepless night. HPM was taken over by the snore monster again.”

“I used to be an caffine addict, but I got some new meds and caffine interacts with them. I didn't get hyper, my wife said "I vibrate." Guess that could good at the right time! lol”

“It screws up my stomach & used to give me anxiety attacks with too much. Only once in a while now....like when I'm working 18 hours....”

“Oh sweet bliss! A tall cuppa and a cinnamon roll.

Starbucks makes me vibrate, lol. Can't drink it often.”

“Hot , steamy cinnamon tea here.....Sass....share that cinnamon roll.....speaking of cinnamon rolls....I need to finish my blue balls report.......”

“my wife said "I vibrate."
ChicagoMark


LOL...I'm surprised she didn't like it.”

“Morning Dub...how are ya??”

“I'm drinking Starbucks Gold Coast this morning...I just wish my bean grinder was quieter...it wakes up the whole family.

:p”

“Tired...working nights screws up my sleeping schedule so bad...I can't hardly sleep 8 hours in a row anymore.”

“I'm drinking "cadilac," the same coffee as my friend at the pool hall serves me each day. When questioned, he just tells the customers that it is "cadilac coffee."”

“am I the only one that puts a tinny bit of salt in the coffee??”

“Ok, what's the purpose of the salt?”

“brings out the flavor and coffee isn't as bitter. best coffee in the world with a tinny bit of salt. Try it just once. but add it to the coffee grind (in the filter)”

“Salt in anything brings out flavor

Anyone see the article about caffeine in the latest National Geographic? They really didn't have a lot bad to say about coffee and caffeine in moderate doses. Wonder how acurate that is. It was an interesting article. The scariest thing is how the brain underperformes in addicts when caffeine is lacking.”

“I'll give it a try...”

“Hmmm, what National Geographic? You talking about the adventure magazine? I have that, but haven't seen the article. I may need to look again huh...

I heard that caffeine in moderate doses is actually a good thing (new studies) not sure anymore what's so good about it, and where I have read it. LOL

I used to get headaches if I didnt' have my caffeine, took me 2 weeks to get off it. No headache meds helped either. I now drink only one or 2 cups per day the rest is caffeine free coffee if any at all.

Oh, I don't drink soda at all, so I don't get my caffeine from that either. I am ALMOST caffeine free.

you guys keep your coffee in the freezer too?

“Gemini, not the adventure, but the regular National Geographic.”

“hmmm iluuuuv coffee, but i can only have one cup of coffee(even decaf) every once in awhile, as i get migraines from it
i will try the salt idea, next time, I take a walk on the wild side”

“Yesterday I lost the first three games on the pool table badly. Then the "Cadilac coffee" was ready and I started drinking it. I won the next eight games like it was nothing. As I started on the third cup, I gave the bartender an extra tip.”

“Caffeine helps migraines, thats for sure. I've been told not to store coffee in the freezer as it affects the flavor. I tried storing in the freezer for a few days, then brewing it. It tasted flat. I also grind my own; I really don't like preground coffee any more. It tastes like half the flavor components are gone, like comparing real vanilla to the fake stuff. I think I've had enough coffee today, though. Next up is "Russian Country" blend tea, which contains some lapsang souchong. It's really good with a shot of lemon juice.”

“If you re-read my post, I suggested what you imply. lol”

“I do not keep my coffee in freezer. Oil evaporates too fast. Sealed bag in a crock jar. Salt as wll as eggshells in the grinds give coffee a mello taste.
Oh and BTW I was having Jamician Blue mountain. THE best I have ever had! .o2
SassVibratin Varooom! ;)”

“I like coffee better than beer, but don't tell my beer that, as I don't want to upset it.”

“Who wants mellow jer??! :-) Hot, straight and strong baby.

Peet's Guatamalan this morning. Whooweee!”

“Well, my daughter loves coffee in all it's forms. 2 mornings in a row now I've dropped a couple of beans before grinding. Laurel picks them up, eats them, and yells "MMMM! Tasty!" Yikes.”

“Yow, treebait. What, did you give her latte in her bottle? lol...”

“I drink my coffee about 60/40 coffee/milk. She'll sometimes take my coffee cup and just start guzzling it. I don't like chewing coffee beans, but she loves it. I figure the coffee beans she ate this morning will counteract the cold medicine I had to give her; she was getting miserable, with the runny nose, sinus congestion, and sneezing.”

“I know it's not real coffe, but the Nescafe "Frothe" coffees are very yummy!

Accidentally recently bought a 1/2 lb bag of Kona Coffee at $39.98 a lb ... (Oops!) But, I do admit, it is some good coffee!

I like expresso coffees.. :-) with a little hazelnut creamer... Yummy....”

“if you make your coffee strong, the salt is not making it less strong, but it does take away the bitter taste. Trust me on that...I drink my coffee ONLY strong!!

Yerbear you know that, because your coffee isnt' strong enough for me :)”

“Run,bike, lift weights, kickbox, eat all the right stuff, that I hate. Take vitamins, supplements, I can deal with all this, but I WILL NEVER GIVE UP COFFEE. It can kill me I DO NOT CARE!”

“Just tried the salt thing. It's great!
Thanks Gemini”

“Gem, I'm going to try the salt. I love strong coffee, like in Europe, but American "strong" coffee is way too bitter for me. Or burnt tasting. If coffee is not bitter, I don't need cream... Anyhoo, gonna try it.”

“I use Indian Monsooned Malabar in almost all my coffee blends. It's not decaf, but has a very low caffeine content. Right now I'm drinking 2 parts Kenya AA to 1 part Indian MM. Costa Rica Tarrazu also pairs well with Indian MM.”

“Gem ,I was being nice to ya I make an excelent cup of joe! YO bears!”

“jerbear sweety I know...u do make good coffee, but I am a little sick in the head, I like my coffee really really strong. I mean REALLY strong!!!

Pixie...when I tried the american coffee for the first time I called my mom and told her to send me german coffee. It was THAT bad. But I got used to it after a while I guess.

I do use the salt though. Can't stand the bitter burned taste.

“My wife got me one of those Starbucks Double Shots in the can this weekend. Not bad but $2 for a little bitty can like that? Ya know it's bad when you can get a shot of Yagermiester for less than a shot of coffee.”

“Dee hutch- I wanna be a smmoothie! LOL
Nigal- did it make yer hair stand up!”

“Not $2 worth! LOL! Coffee really doesn't do too much to me anymore. I used to drink a pot a day but now I find I have two cups and that's it. Sometimes I have none and I don't have the withdrawls I used to. I think I may have burned myself out.”

“heya Nige, if you put that shot of Yager in a glass of Redbull you'll get the same effect as coffee, only BETTER!!!! :)”
