Coffee

[Guardian]

Geeks--- I mean computer dudes best friend. I love coffee to death, Who here is like me?

When I wake up, I don't focus on taking a piss or taking a shower or anything, first thing Is I head to my coffee machine. I swear this is what keeps me awake.

[AJ@PR]

One vs One...

I'm guessing the "Love it to death." vote is yours.

I just don't like it... Period.
Don't like the taste... or coffee tasting stuff. Candy. Ice cream. etc.

That's just me.

Wierdly enough, supposedly, the best coffee in the world comes from the mountains of Puerto Rico.

People in the UK::: Swing by the Queen's crib one day, and ask her what coffee she drinks. :)

[AKA_RA]

I like coffee with my sugar. Its a nice condiment. gets rid of the grainy texture of the sugar. ;)

[Drew]

Don't be silly.

The Queen drinks tea.

She's got taste buds....

[AJ@PR]

HAHAahaHAAHAHAHAhaHAHA!!!

I *wonder* *who* *vote* *for* *stop posting here*.

I'm reaaaally wondering...

LOL LOL

My 600ml mug (that's 20oz to you backwards Americans) gets a good work out.
I basically drink coffee, Coke and Jim Beam and Coke.

[AKA_RA]

what about mountain dew, cant forget that ;)

im actually quite partial to wine myself. i always have a glass on hand while modding. sipping of a nice merlot seems to just calm my mind and helps me concentrate.

[Bucko]

eewww! ewwwwwww! I'll have the crab juice!


Is it true Mountain Poo is caffinated in the US? Here in Oz it's just a lemon/lime style drink with no caffine and a dubious taste.

[Ironcat]

Yeah... It's carbonated AND caffeinated. One of the most caffeinated sodas actually.

[Bucko]

Speaking of Vodka and caffeine, Red Bull and Vodka is a popular drink over here.

[AKA_RA]

Ever had a Monster energy drink and vodka, thats a tasty little cocktail. and simple too.

[Guardian]

I love Monster + Redbull. But those things are like..kind of HARD taste on you. Coffee is nice and smooth for late nights + mornings.

I like Mountain Dew but the acid bubbly taste goes away too fast after you open a bottle.

[nil8]

I don't drink caffeine anymore. Even though I don't hate coffee, that's what I voted for.

[Airbozo]

MMM, get out of my way and DON'T talk to me until I have a couple of drinks from my coffee cup.

Crappy coffee sucks, badly brewed coffee sucks, but good beans freshly ground and press brewed is THE ****z!

[Guardian]

Yeah it took me a few machines to get to the one i have now. Other machines, either too watery, too dark. I had to spend $150 on the one I have now. Bad coffee sucks.

[AJ@PR]

Omg... you guys sound like one of my best friends...

He's just like that into coffee....

Loves it.
Needs it when he wakes up in the morning (crap... he TELLS me that,... not that I have woken near him in the morning <-- just clearing that up)...

And speaks about coffee machines just like that.
"I went through this machine... but it ain't good cause x, y, and z"...

"Then I bought THIS one, which was great because of this, but they screwed up on this..."

20 minutes later

"And finally, my baby. She's made in Italy, I ported the valve so the water... yadd ayaddda yudadydaya yddaa ... and I'm super happy with it!"

He talks about the growth region of the coffee bean... the number of times the bean has been 'cracked'... the grounding of the coffee bean (too fine or too coarse)... the brewing pressure...

Jesus.

[Guardian]

LMFAO THE GrowtH REGION!!!!LMFAO!!!

[Crimson Sky]

100% Columbian, brewed nice and dark for me. Milk+sugar. The queens can have their tea ;)

cSky, I'm going to get some nice, Puerto Rican mountain, small-family operation coffee for you next time I'm inside the island...

I'll contact you, to send it over.

Maybe you'll like it more.

If not, hey, we gave it a try. :)

[Guardian]

Geh i'm not too crazy about the beans really. Foldgers does fine for me.

Oh man I'm into lots of mountain grown types... Hawaiian, Jamaica Blue, and I also like sumatras. I bet the PR Mt. grown is fabulous. It was all the PR girls I dated that got me into coffee ;)

[Guardian]

Its coffee that keeps me living when I date those kind of girls.

w00t w00t ! :)

Then, it's a deal.

I don't have a set time to go "deep" into the island... today I'm going to Cabo Rojo, but that's via the coast line... if not, I'll ask my grandmother to get me some (she lives in the geographic center of the island).

But yeah, I'll get you that.
w0000t !!! :)

[Ticien]

I love coffee. Good coffee, not the stuff they try to get me to drink here at work. At home we have a nice Gavalia coffee maker and my first cup of the day tastes great. I also like it the way they do it in places like brazil...small cup, powerful stuff, great flavor. Im flat on my ass all day without some.

Also like the wine...props to whoever it was that said that, (unfortunately i cant drink it at work)

HATE mountain dew. I started watching what I was eating, cut out everything with high fructose corn syrup out of my diet. Now when i drink it its so sweet tasting it makes my stomach hurt after 1 can. bleh

[Drew]

Keep it.

Royalty drinks tea.

*goes and stands in corner again, all alone, drinking nice sweet milky tea....*

[Slug Toy]

i for one hate coffee. ive had it many times just to wake myself up though. some days my dad takes me to his company's shop to clean up, and its about 6 in the morning when we get there. i just grab a coffee and load it up with hot chocolate mix.

ill take tea with milk and sugar thank you very much.

my mom and dad absolutely love coffee and as far as they're concerned, the fresh kona blend we brought back from hawaii was the best so far (we got it fresh bagged from the building on the plantation itself). kona is supposed to be right up there in terms of quality. actually, theres a molokai blend as well, and thats supposed be alright.

[Spawn-Inc]

ok here is THEE BEST coffee...

Light version
fill a medium coffee cup with 1/4 coffee, add 1 package of chocolate powder mix, then continue to fill with coffee until 3/4 full, then add milk and enjoy..

Heavy Version
same as above but use 2 packs of chocolate powder, and used cream instead of milk.

[simon275]

I only drink cofffee when I need it if I have and big day coming up and I have got little sleep. Or keeping the buzz going when I have to drive late at night.

[luciusad2004]

Keep it.

Ill drink tea with you! I prefer green tea, unsweetened and pure. I try to make some whenever i have a reason to boil water. Other than that i like Herbal Tea as well. Today i had this delicious lemon and ginger tea that my mom got in the mail. It was wonderful. Refreshing and naturally sweet.

Edit: Forgot to comment on the pole. Coffee sucks. The only way i can drink it is if i load it with sugar and maybe some milk.

Coffee vs Tea is the new Cake vs Pie

[.Maleficus.]

I'll drink either. All kinds of tea (I have a collection of maybe 9 different kinds I drink regularly) and I have a cup of coffee every morning. First thing I do when I wake up.

[xRyokenx]

I drink the next best thing: Mountain Dew, or Mello Yello, whichever is available. If neither's available, I'll probably go with Dr. Pepper... speaking of which, how do we know that guy's a real doctor? I don't think he's qualified to be a soft drink... :think:

[gaz_the_chav]

The only coffee I like is the 'Caff&#232; Latte' by Costa Coffee anything else I think is vial lol. I have no idea why?!I must say though I love my twinnings tea!

Very British!

Nah, you want a proper cup o' Tetley you do.

[Slug Toy]

actually, im pretty sure theres no period after the Dr, so theres no doctor behind it. me and my friends made up a new name for it though seeming as its no longer "doctor pepper". we call it "daniel rodriguez pepper".

[Omega]

There isn't a period after the Dr, but the lowercase "r" and separation of "Dr" and "Pepper" (plus the added capitalization of "Pepper", as if it's a name) implies that the "Dr", even sans period, is the abbreviation for "Doctor".


I have too much time on my hands.

[GT40_GearHead]

I have too much time on my hands.

don't we all ! :D

ouuu, coffee, i like mine rough, black, no sugar, and 300ml of it, and i am drinking it right now :D

[DaveW]

Jesus, a recipe for coffee? Here's my recipe for getting out of bed in the morning.

1) Wake up
2) Get up
3) Get dressed

\sarcasm

;)

-Dave

[GT40_GearHead]

ouuuu come on man... lol

coffee is an important part of a good day, you should see my mom and dad

[Bucko]

My recipe is easy. 3 big scoops of Moccona dark roasted instant coffee (I'm no coffee snob, when I want it, I want it NOW!) and 5 scoops of raw sugar (not a fan of white sugar). Add hot boiling water, stir and and milk.

Easy!

And here is a pic of my coffee bucket next to a standard size can. Mmm, Jim Beam. Love it!

.....

that is also known as a mocca.

All in all, i will drink most coffee, i will not however drink bad coffee, crap coffee.

my fav is fresh arabica coffee, infact i love coffee that much i drink coffee by the pint.

Hint for all you coffee lovers:
Get fresh UN ROASTED coffee beans, place on a backing tray and roast until nice and crisp, then put them in the freazer strait from the oven. then once frozen you can eat them, also if you grind them you will taste a diffrence.

You should always store coffee that has been ground in the fridge.

Wait... Jim Beam and Cola... IN A CAN!!!!!!!

So, wait, you are saying you don't get Jim Beam in a can in the US, or in the UK?:eek:

Well I know where not to go for a holiday now! :D

Here you get Jim Beam, Jim Beam Black Label, Wild Turkey, Jack Daniels, Bicardi, Johnny Walker, basically you name it, you can get it in a can with Cola, or others like Wild Turkey and Dry and Jim Beam and Dry.

There is also bottles of all the same stuff too.
It's not like you have to go anywhere special either, it sold in all bottle shops and Pubs alike.

When to Refrigerate Coffee

Never, unless you are conducting a science experiment on how long it takes to ruin perfectly good coffee. The fridge is one of the absolute worst places to put coffee. The refrigerator is not cold enough to avoid your coffee from going stale and will also pick up other odors from your refrigerator. Room temperature is the best!
