No, do people do that?

Yes. I've gotten coffee that way and also done it.

I love coffee. Hot
started drinking it in college to stay awake and study
Drink it black
I generally just stop at QT and get the medium roast, whatever that is.
My uncle sends me some beans from Panama twice a year. I grind those and they rock.
I only drink coffee on weekends because the caffeine makes me jittery which isn't good for my job.

I like it, but for some reason it gives me butterflies. So, I don't drink it or anything else with caffeine.

Loose-leaf tea. Awesome.

Oh, that's sweet.

I forgot to say I like my coffee hot---never cold. Don't care for ice coffee.

I grind my own beans unless I pick up a Starbucks bag right in a Starbucks--where I have them grind it for me. I have a Krups fast touch grinder. Only use coffee in it.

I like hot tea too-- either hot or cold. Most often down here, I drink it cold. My favorite for hot is Darjeeling--nice and aromatic without being too strong. I also have green tea but don't care for the taste.

I have to have coffee to feel alert enough to work or do anything. I also drink some if I feel a headache coming on. It does the trick--unless it's one of my migraines. Then I need drugs.

I take my coffee black, like my men

I'm 37 and just started really drinking it.

Its fun to try all the diffent kinds

That's really funny. In 37 years I'd never heard of that and since Friday this is the 3rd reference to that I've heard/seen. Excited to do it next time

QT coffee is surprisingly good. I get it all the time when my stanley thermos runs dry.

I completely understood this post.

The headaches that get better is caffeine withdrawal symptoms.

I don't think they are in this case, since they come when I haven't tried to withdraw from caffeine. Caffeine is also in Excedrin, the only medication that works for headaches on me. So instead of just going to a drug first, I just drink a little coffee and it works a lot. Sometimes, I am dehydrated and a glass of water helps--particularly in Florida summers.

Maybe im drunk?

Actually my mind is ahead of my ability to type or spell. I post like I was conversing with you. Long winded and never let you get a word in edgewise.

I'm not a fan of flavored coffee but that Quick Trip French Vanilla Cappuccino is pretty damn good. Or it used to be.

I loves me some coffee. Black.

Working from home, I don't drink any. When I do go into the client site, I drink that shit all day. Non stop.

Where I work we have coffee snobs. The Engineers here are a treat to watch with there presses. They bring in there own beans ground in Tupperware and enjoy a cup in the break room.

Ive learned a lot from them like never ever filter your coffee thru paper filters. The perfect temperature is 200* even.

These guys buy there coffee beans green and roast themselves. They spend 500 bucks on bur grinders and roasting ovens. Then extract the fruit of the bean through a 30 buck french press.

What do you all think about The Roasterie brand coffee?

http://www.theroasterie.com/

I bought pound of the 40 Sardines blend and thought was pretty good.

The problem most of the time is typos and lack of punctuation. Sometimes makes your intended meaning difficult to decipher.

But you seem like a good dood, so if I have to read them four times to figure it out, that's what I'm gonna do.

Yes.
Both hot and cold.
Hourglass and medium strength.
Cream and sweetener.
Most days, and a pot.
Starbucks coffee too strong for my liking.
McDonald's LOL, like their burgers.
Dunkin is great at 2:00am.
I was in the Navy, "very early in life".
Yes, yes I do. From Baileys to rum...
Only on days with "day" in them!!!
Decaf... No, no way.. Like non-alcoholic beer..

Geezaz! I travel with some connoisseurs but not like that.

So, lemme ask, if they don't use paper filters (including the unbleached) what do they use? How do they know if their temp is 200 degrees.

I would never roast green beans. Too much work. I would like to try a French Press though. I hear they make a really good tasting coffee.

I never add liquor to coffee, just doesn't seem right.

I've got a couple friends that roast their own. They've become quite adept at it, started by using a specific style of hot air popcorn poppers.

Ymmm, Bailey's Irish Cream in coffee. Or are you referring to another Bailey's?

Oh I started drinking it at age 13 or 14.

Drink it daily. A cup or two in the mornings 95% of the time only.

Have not tried MD's premiums. I do like Starbucks but not every blend of theirs.

Yumm, Grand Marnier.:thumb:

some guy did for that me a year ago. rather nice

Do you like it?

Very Much

Hot or cold?

Generally hot, not averse to a fru-fru candy ice coffee drink every once in a while, likewise coffee ice cream [Haagen Daaz 5] is my favorite flavor

What brands and strengths do you like?

Starbucks and Trader Joe's, also Taste of the Hill, which is coffee roasted at restaurants on St. Louis' Hill, a revered Italian neighborhood with lots of local restaurants.

Prefer the bolder or darker roasts, just feels more robust. Usually a Sumatra of some stripe, though I'm always on the lookout for a good Peaberry. No flavored coffees generally, though TJ's Wintry Blend [which has ground up black and red pepper, clove and cinnamon mixed into coffee grounds] is an exception of sorts.

Do you take cream or sugar?

Not usually, but not averse, if there's 1/2&1/2 around, I'll often indulge.

Are you a cup a day coffee kind of person or a pot a day kind of person?

Pot a Day, insulated carafe is a blessing.

How do you feel about Starbuck's?

Too expensive in store, always on a lookout for sales or clearances for their beans/grinds, though. Will enjoy a cup bought for me thoroughly.

Have you tried McDonald's premium coffees, which I hear are notably better than Starbuck's?

Just their iced 'candy' coffee, caramel mochiatto IIRC. OK, tough to differentiate with all the bells and whistles. I mean how do you differentiate qualities of sugar, cream and whipped cream?

What about Dunkin' Donuts' coffee?

Just beans at home, decent, unassuming. Could drink it for months without complaint, yet not notice when another roast was substituted.

When did you start drinking coffee?

In earnest? About 20yo.

Do you ever add any adult beverages to your coffee?

Never, adult beverages are generally a 'prepare for sleep' thing for me. Caffeine runs counter to that. Not a lot of interest in being buzzed and wide awake for hours.

Do you only drink it on weekends?

No

How do you feel about decaffeinated coffee?

Que? What is this, . . . de- . . . caffeinated? De, what?

Bailey's Irish Cream... (with a shot of coffee in it)!

The french press you just add the grounds like the old percolator days. I believe they have filters for them, but you eliminate the oils in the coffee been.

Thermometer I suppose. I also believer the good electric water kettles have temp settings. I know my Bunn coffee maker does not brew untill water temp reaches 200.

I really like panera's coffee. It's good quality and it's half the price. A regular sized coffee there is 2 bucks compared to about 4 at Starbucks.

Plus their bakery is infinitely better than Starbucks.

Yes Ive have herd that works. I read that its become popular on US Military remote outposts in Afghanistan. Kinda a hobby to pass time and drink something better than the swill furnished by uncle sam. Those guy have come up with some very unique ways to roast. Think I saw this late night on Nightline.

I hated it at first too. It grows on you tho'-- then it's hard to go back. At least it was for me. I used to like DD but it's too weak for me now.

Ah! I do it in reverse.

I forgot about Panera. I like theirs too.

I don't know how someone pays $4 for coffee at Starbucks. I pay $1.70 but then I only order the Tall size and not one of those fancy coffee drinks. The exception is the occasional Latte, which I treat as a treat. Like buying ice cream.

This is the machine I have. It's a commercial unit had it 10 years and yes I'm a serious espresso drinker and yes Starbucks is way too high this saved me a fortune.

I don't understand the question. I can't think of a circumstance where I could not sneak in a couple of cups of coffee.

Its a straight up crap morning without coffee for me, I need atleast two big cups to get going.

First one gets real cream and sugar, all subsequent ones are black... not real loyal to any one brand, but I have been digging this tub of Yuban I got and believe it or not Aldi brand coffee is much better than you'd expect.

I buy Aldi brand all the time. Not ashamed to say it. Its good and less dollars.

I've read that cheaper brands oftentimes use little fillers, one of which is over roasted cocoa beans from candy makers etc... I'm convinced Aldi brand uses some of that stuff, I always get a slightly chocolatey flavor that I love from it.

I freakin LOVE Aldi's, like you I'm not the least bit ashamed to say it either... with beef, pork and everything else prices going through the roof its a no-brainer to shop there, they have a lot of great items for a ton less than the fancier stores.

If I spend $50 there, I get a heaping bag I can hardly carry... at the other places I'm looking at it going "what the ****?"

Drinking a cup of chocolate glazed donut from the kuerig right now...

Also really like an Italian dark roast after dinner.

You drink coffee like a girl! :thumb::D:thumb::D:thumb::D:thumb::D

Do you like it?

Yes.

Hot or cold?
Hot for the most part but cold without a whole lot of sweetener is good as well.

What brands and strengths do you like? Tully is great. French roasts in general are my preferred.

Do you take cream or sugar?
Two sugars and half & half.

Are you a cup a day coffee kind of person or a pot a day kind of person?
Several cups a day.

How do you feel about Starbuck's?
Burnt nasty beans.

Have you tried McDonald's premium coffees, which I hear are notably better than Starbuck's? Never had it.

What about Dunkin' Donuts' coffee? Not my favorite.

When did you start drinking coffee? Mid teens. Spent a couple years in Western Washington.

Do you ever add any adult beverages to your coffee?
Mostly not, though the occasional whiskey or rum.

Do you only drink it on weekends?
7 days a week.

How do you feel about decaffeinated coffee?

Caffeine does nothing to me so I don't drink decaffeinated.

LMAO

I only do the Bailey's when I use coffee as a dessert or an drink.

Otherwise, I drink it strong and black each and every morning with no cream or any kind of sweetner artificial or otherwise--just like a guy.

I don't drink coffee.

That's happening with some other food too. Ever wonder why cheap ice-cream doesn't completely melt but part of it semi-solid? Cellulose fillers. Same is happening with olive oil being cut with cheaper oils.


Now, with along with all the food inflation--we're seeing the Incredibly Shrinking package. Notice that? Tuna less ounces and a higher price...same with bags of chips etc.

I noticed that with Club crackers recently. The box is about 15 percent shorter, and the packages inside even moreso. Price stayed the same.

I add a shot of coffee to my Bailey's weekdays during the daylight hours!

And I was in the Navy and spent most of my time operating on/from submarines, so I know bad coffee and coffee that has that taste of amine in it... So that's where I learned to take my coffee "Blond and Sweet (like my women)"...

LOL, on the first boat I was attached to I can recall the skipper ordering his coffee just that way. Heck it was the first time we had operated from a boat instead of a ship, and the kid who was taking coffee orders (everybody in the control room take their turn making coffee runs - called "the coffee bitch") asked the skipper how he'd like it (you have to make it to order!!), and the skipper said, "blond and sweet, like my women" and it's stuck with me ever since.

Nice lookin Lacy Roundhead.

They can be mean and crazy.

All true... cheap ice cream though, you get what you pay for with that, but I've sure had the cheap stuff.

Olive oil is apparently a big mafia thing overseas, a major commodity that they somewhat have cornered and definitely cut all to hell before it makes its way over here in many cases.

And oh yeah on the shrinking packages, even my beloved Aldi's is now selling the $7 bags of frozen chicken breasts that contain much smaller pieces than they did just a year or two ago... if food prices keep going pretty soon we'll all be eating mostly bugs for our protein.

Yeah, Starbucks did something shady, too. After I buy a bag of coffee I pour it into a container. The old Starbucks bags used to fill it to the top so I could barely fit the scoop in with it. Now with the new bags it fills it like an inch below the top so the scoop fits no problem.

Maybe smaller beans. The real test with that would be weight. Did they used to sell 1-pound bags and now sell 12-ounce bags or something like that?

Mainly hot coffee, I like light roasts in the morning and medium roasts in the afternoon.

Only take cream or half and half when i'm ordering a coffee after dinner - never sugar.

Probably about a pot a day.

Starbucks uses inferior quality beans and burns the hell out of them. I don't think their coffee is nasty but it's not worth the price.

Don't care for McDonalds coffee, never had Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Started drinking around age 28.

I rarely add booze to my coffee. Generally only when I want to stay up on the weekends AND get buzzed.

Yes, same intake as the week.

Decaff coffee i'll order after dinner sometimes, if I know I don't want to be up late.

I avoid caffeine.

I buy it ground. Both bags say (said) 12 oz.

Answers to your many, many questions:

Since my college days, I've not been much of a coffee drinker. Of course, back then I'd make coffee with H2-Joe (caffeinated water).

But lately I've been very interested in cold brew coffee, as it significantly diminishes the acidity and bitterness and brings out more of the coffee's subtle flavors that get lost with hot brew. I made a gallon of cold brew concentrate, and I've really been enjoying it these last few days.

So I'm interested in your take on coffee.

Do you like it?
Hot and black, like Tina Turner.

Hot or cold?
Hot only. Hate cold coffee.

What brands and strengths do you like?
Old School: I like Folgers, Maxwell House, and Eight O'clock Coffee.

Do you take cream or sugar?
Nope, hot and black like Tina Turner.

Are you a cup a day coffee kind of person or a pot a day kind of person?
One in the morning is all I need. More than that is too much.

How do you feel about Starbuck's?
Overpriced crap.

Have you tried McDonald's premium coffees, which I hear are notably better than Starbuck's?
Nope, just McD's regular joe. It's OK. Quik Trip regular coffee is OK too.

What about Dunkin' Donuts' coffee?
Nope, try to avoid donuts.

When did you start drinking coffee?
When I was about 15, threw the KC Times off a paper truck at 3am, drank it to stay warm in the winter.

Do you ever add any adult beverages to your coffee?
Kahlua (sp?) occasionally, but not often.

Do you only drink it on weekends?
Nope, every morning usually.

How do you feel about decaffeinated coffee?
What's the point?
