Coffee anyone?

Saturday, January 17, 2004 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Coffee is the staple diet of kings and skinners and those who appreciate skinning.

I have long been a "Kenco" man and i particularly like their instant dark roast but i need a change to my "fix" and what better place could i chose to ask for recommendations than my fellow Wincustomize friends.

So come on guys........I have got to hit Tesco's tommorrow morning and i need your help

Take a huge glass. Put some sugar in it. Pour in some Irish Whiskey. Mix it. Add the hot coffee. After that add lots of sugared whipped cream. And a little chocolate powder on top.

Mmmm...

MadIce likes Irish Coffee.

There doesn't seem to be any coffee in your Irish Coffee.

Leo, coffee is my sustenance. My life blood. I'm an addict extraordinaire. So, I know of what you speak. Although I will drink any ol' deli swill when I'm at work, I brew only the "good" stuff when I'm home. I buy my beans exclusively from an online site http://www.cmebrewcoffee.com/cmebrew_gourmet_coffee.html
It's the least expensive gourmet coffee site, and with shipping the coffee costs about $8.00US per pound. That's for a full pound. It's one of my daily indulgences. Hope this helps.....

mmmmmmm....coffee.....where to start...

Well, my "special occasion" coffee is Jamaican Blue Mountain (but it is *really* expensive)

My "every day" coffee is called Eight O'clock coffee, which is a very old A&P brand that is now sold in many Spartan stores (won't mean much to people who aren't around Spartan stores).  It comes in whole bean form (though I think they have a ground version now) and is nice and smooth.

For my first pot of the day (unless it is a special occasion, which would then be JBM) I drink Starbuck's Breakfast blend.  I don't like coffee from the Starbuck's store because it always tastes like they boiled it or something.  But, I do like brewing it myself.

Some of the Hawaiin Kona blends are nice (though I do not like them on their own).  I also like some of the french roast coffees- even maxwell house has a nice one.  I've yet to find a decaf that doesn't have a bitter undertone to it, but most of the half-caf (50/50) are pretty good. (My doctor keeps telling me to switch to decaf, but I ignore her....remind me of that when I'm laying in the hospital after my first heart attack )

I also recommend getting a good coffee maker.  Different coffee makers will really change the taste of coffee (as well as the water you use).  I have a Bunn coffee maker.  They make great coffee, and they are *fast*.  They are the coffee makers that most stores use (Tim Hortons even has their own labled one that you can buy).  They last a very long time, too.  I have had mine for over 11 years, and it works just as well as it did when it was new.  (Which says a lot considering how often it is used!)  They cost about $100, and are available all over the place.

I'm still on my first pot of the day which is Breakfast blend.

Ah....coffee........

I also have a Bunn. Bunn rocks!!
I'm sitting here, drinking a cup of Tanzania Peaberry coffee. Life is good.

By the way, I have to go to the beach on tuesday. Part of my job description. It's gonna be friggin' cold out there. Beautiful, but COLD. I think I'll bring along a thermos of coffee.

Also, for whatever it's worth, by far my favorite CursorXP is Cappuccino, by RadialFX. It's what I use more than anything, even if it doesn't match the rest of my desktop. It's just kinda soothing to watch the steam rise.
