Terminalcoffee discussion

These people are serious about their coffee, and I think I'm going to get an Aero Press. http://lifehacker.com/#!5778831/dropp...

I would try an aero press, but I am pretty devoted to my Toddy cold brew.

I know coffee has been discussed in other threads, I don't know if it has a dedicated thread.

I am dedicated to coffee.

I love coffee!

The scent, the taste and the antioxidant’s in it make it the perfect drink.

It is also a perfect drink for conversations.

Savoring my rich full bodied aromatic mugga in the morning is the only way to start the day. I allow myself 20 to just sit and let the day arrive.

The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. ~Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., "Over the Teacups," 1891

Coffee. Ick.

I love coffee. Now that I’m getting older, I can’t handle caffeine too late in the day. I’m excited when I get to drink coffee in the evening. That’s a party for me.

We just got a Keurig at work. I love it.

My parents (where I have been living for 1.5 years) have a Keurig... it's one of the things I'm really going to miss when I move into my house!!

black or with just a teeny bit of cream, when I’m feeling fancy a bit of grappa or sambuca.

Strongish, with nondairy creamer. I pour the creamer in first, so the coffee stirs it, no spoon necessary. I make it with an ordinary countertop coffeemaker. I have a plastic cone for emergencies so I can make it on the stovetop if necessary.

I don't want any weird flavors in there: no hazelnut, pumpkin, raspberry, mocha, whatevs.

Keurigs are fun.

Not so much into flavours, either. Every now and then I like something a bit fancier, after a nice dinner or something.

I’m waiting for my coffee maker at home to break so I can get a Keurig. It’s taking a long time. I might have to drop it. They are fun. Tiny little cups of fun.

I do the same thing with the creamer!! I don't want to get a spoon dirty if I don't have to (mostly because I am lazy).

Fruit flavors don't go with chocolate OR coffee. It ruins the fruit, chocolate AND coffee to mix them together. Raspberry mocha? Ack.

Did anyone ever buy a Tassimo (another single cup brewing system)? I used to see their ads but no one I know has one.

I like cinnamon or pumpkin spice coffee, but definitely no chocolate or fruit. I saw Dunkin Donuts strawberry shortcake flavored coffee in the store last weekend and gagged.

Lori, I just thought if I kept posting this thread would take off.

Yay, I'm not alone.

I used to be dead set against decaf... but I’m considering it. I miss having coffee at night. It’s the perfect beverage. I like tea too, but it’s just not the same.

Some of you may remember I didn't start drinking coffee until a couple years ago. Now I fucking love it. I don't like a lot of crap in my coffee, though. I like lattes, sometimes, but normally I drink coffee straight. I can do French press or drip, whatever works.

I like Trader Joe's coffee, any of a few varieties, for home. And my work has a coffee shop on site, with the coffee only a dollar if you bring your little coffee mug with you.

You know who makes bad coffee? McDonalds. That's who.

I use to not like Decaf but when my wife was pregnant we switched to it. I got used to it. But now I am back at full strength and have been for about 8 years now.

Arminius, you can get coffee where you are now, right?

I think Dunkin Donuts makes bad coffee, and I’m really not that picky.

No, tea is not the same. I've been thinking about taking up decaf at night too. Coffee is just that comfort beverage!

I haven't tried McDonalds new "premium" coffee, but their old coffee just tasted like hot water to me. Dunkin Donuts, the same. Hot water. It's so damn THIN. It has no body.

Not alone.

I love my french press and I love the French for inventing it.

We had an extended Toddy conversation here when TC was new.

I find French cuffs a little extreme, however.

Don Draper wears them:

As does Joe Biden.

I may be only fourteeen, but coffee is by far the best thing i've ever tasted, it's sooooo good and when you take zero period it's important. Whoa, i just realized that i actually want something that serves a purpose. . . Ah! The world is coming to an end!!

A Keurig, never heard of that. I want! I WANT! I see they are rather expensive, altho in the long run not so much. What type do y'all have?

The model I've used is this one.

Yes, I recall that. You used to have Toddy coffee but it became too expensive.

We've been re-watching Twin Peaks. Agent Cooper loves his coffee.

Make that four.

Non-coffee drinkers unite!

I love Sister Sledge and am very glad you did not post the Chipmunks' version of that song, Phil. It makes me all squinty.

Yes RA, we have a Green Beans Store. I think they cater to troops.

That looks like a great company, Arminius. Good coffee?

*gives Gail, Phil, Bun and Michael a stern look*

Go start a tea thread, you heathens. :P

(I love that this thread grew by 28 posts while I was sleeping--it's as if the thread itself is caffeinated!)

Cynthia wrote: "That looks like a great company, Arminius. Good coffee?"

Yes Cynthia, it is very good.

I like coffee and tea, they each have their time and purpose.

I hate tea. I can not even stand the smell of it but there are health benefits to tea as well as coffee.

mmmmmmmm... coffee!

*turns green with Keurig envy*

The butcher-block counter is nice too.
