The Coffee Thread

[Riven]

So, who here drinks coffee and how do you take it? Any particular brand? While bean or pre-ground?

I drink Dunkin Donuts whole bean medium roast. I bought a grinder and honestly, I'll never go back. I drink my coffee black, and it's the best coffee I've ever tasted. Hot or cold.

Caffeine... the Christian drug of choice.

Dark with milk.
or
Black ice cold run through a blender. (it aerates the black coffee till it looks like a cappuccino or a dark beer... lots of head)

If I don't have it (or if someone slips me a decaf) I get a migraine that makes me beg for death... literally.

Preferably hand ground (not electric) made then with a french presse. Black or sometimes with real cream. Leftovers go in fridge for cold coffee later….delicious.

Drip…Mr.coffee. Strong. Lots of either creamer…tried oat milk creamer recently it was decent…

Or heavy cream with some caramel syrup.

Sometimes instant in 2 percent milk with chocolate and or caramel syrup.

I started drinking it in my 30's when I got put on third shift, now I start my mornings with it. Drinking it now as a matter of fact, simply another drink like tea. Most sources say it is good for you, in moderation of course, especially if you drink it black like you do.

You people are evil...

cuz I used to love coffee, but at some point my system got overloaded with caffeine and never recovered, cuz now if I consume too much of the stuff, horns start growing out of my head and I start violently throwing things across the room, LoL.

Wish I were kidding.

Somedays black other days with cream . But always use filtered water , very important . Your tea will taste better with filtered water too .

Have you tried decaf?

 

[GodsGrace]

For me:

Latte Macchiato
Medium glass full of warm, foamy milk.
Add one espresso, decaf please.
Half teaspoon of sugar.
1.50€

Or
Cappuccino, decaf.
1.50€


1. I added the price because in Nu Yok
They would cost about $6.00

2. Don't be posting replies telling me real coffee lovers don't drink decaf.

Yeah.
And that's when you're in a good mood!

Hey, when my sister on staff gets a cramp in her leg and can't post like she wants to anymore, what can I say? It sets me off. Caffeine is just the gateway drug that leads to terrible things.

Yeah, you have to stay on top of it. lol We make a batch and when we are getting low, which is about two days later, we filter the rest through a regular coffee filter in a cheap pour over coffee maker (THIS ONE, but red) into a glass jar. Then clean the cold brew maker and get the next batch going. It's usually brewing for 22-24 hrs.

It is such a nice way to drink coffee in the summer and you can get away with cheaper beans and it still tastes decent.

That's like coffee light .no such thing as decaf tea or coffee .my wife was a coffee dream unitl her stomach said no more and switching to decaf made no difference

This is interesting. A number of years ago I was having trouble with heartburn. I had to keep antacids nearby constantly. One day I was thinking about the amount of coffee I was drinking on a daily basis and decided that it might be good to switch to decaf. My decision was totally unrelated to my heartburn issues. It was purely coincidence. Anyway, after switching to decaf my heartburn problem went away. The funny thing is, when I searched for side effects of drinking too much decaf coffee, the first result I found was heartburn because decaf still contains the acids found in caffeinated coffee. To this day, if I drink regular coffee, I have to have antacids at the ready because within a couple hours I'll be dealing with heartburn and yet I can drink all the decaf I want and I have no issues.
