How do you take your coffee?

[nobodyspecial]

I kid you not. I used to love to take a free period mid-morning and grab a donut and some colored hot water from the clubs who were always selling same on campus. Later an honest to gosh espresso joint opened and I would hang there and drink coffee, do the puzzle in the Daily and/or NY Times and catch up on my class reading.

People think of the Italians and French as coffee crazed, but the Germans and Austrians couldn't function without the stuff and make it pretty well, too. Here in NY the Neue Galerie cafe serves Meinl's coffee from Vienna - very dark roasted, distinctive flavor. Not cheap either!

The movie Sweetland has a great scene about German made coffee versus the Scandinavian version. I highly recommend the movie, it was excellent.

Yeah, I've been tempted to take it in an IV, too. You get a real rush, but it's hell on the arteries.

Yes, but it made me think of one. There are mornings when I could use one.

I take my coffee as a caramel frapacino (yeah I prob spelled that wrong)

Coffee !!! Yes.

I take my coffee every morning ,strong, but really, really strong real coffee, not instant, with a dash of milk. I have a special cup, it's big and I fill it up to the rim. For me there is nothing like good strong coffee to wake up when I start the day! :coffee:

Most of the time, it's coffee black. I get up and make it every AM - then have about 2 cups before heading to work. If I take a break mid-morning, it's usually across the street to a small local coffee shop for a mocha, no whipped cream thanks.

But my default is simple:black, fresh and strong.

Local roaster

We have a great local roaster nearby, http://www.innkeepers-coffee.com/products.php?Which=SAM , I like the Colombian Supremo Bucaramanga Especial, and we grind the beans just before and make it in a french press. Delicioso!

1 thing of cream and a little bit of Splenda. I never order plain coffee at places like Starbucks though, just diner coffee for me. I like it much more.

I drink at least one pot of coffee per day. My theory is that if have not had a vision after the first pot you need to make the second pot even stronger. Some people in my office cringe when they see me making a pot of coffee.

Cream, no sugar. I've been using whole milk rather than half and half lately. Pictured above are some coffees I picked up in travels to Colombia and India. They have since been consumed.

I highly recommend Butter Moon by Lambert's in Memphis. My local roaster is O'Henry's. When I was in Kentucky I bought at Coffee Times.

When I used to drink my coffee black I'd make it so strong my dad would always say, admiringly, "Ashley's coffee will put hair on your chest!"

Too expensive for my blood. Not to mention the coffee apparently has a "bottom note" that is odd to the tongue.

"Coffee?"

"Yes, please."

"Cream?"

"A dot, yes."

"Civet poo?"

"I beg your pardon?"
