How Do Ya Like It?

[GoreFollower]

How do you people like your coffee? Mine is just with a sugar and cream and I'm set!

[Razorback]

Cream and Sweet&Low.

[ratm1966]

I like my coffee strong and black. None of that sissy stuff added unless you are having a cappuccino.

[code6enterprises]

Blacker than night itself.

[karmattack]

I plead Ad Rock on this one

"I like my sugar with coffee and cream." I prefer espresso though.

Nobody likes the way I make coffee at work- one pack is suppossed to make 12 cups- I only put in six cups of water and I run the brew through a second time. I like coffee that'll stick to your ribs as well as your spoon.

[armyantmatt]

Black, and thick enough to stand a fork up in it.

[Efexeye]

I too prefer my caffeine cold- give me a Coke instead of a coffee any day. But if that's all there is, I'll take it with a cream and about 3 packets of sugar.

[jjcourtright]

People look at me funny when I order Mt. Dew with breakfast, but I see it as being no different than coffee.

[DangerSeeker]

I think it's because you put cream and sugar in it.

[karmattack]

Can I say it?

Can I? Pleeeeeeeeeeeease?



[gives shifty look -- side-to-side]

ZING!

[DangerSeeker]

[rubbing hands in an evil fashion, vocalizing an inner monologue in front of a lit map of the world]

Project Zing is moving along quite nicely. The message boards seem to be warming up to it, as do my conversational friends. I have even begun hearing the occasional perimeter friend utter that delectable little word.

Once the pop culture audience embraces it, Zing shall overtake "As if!" and "Don' be redicculous!" in popularity and longevity. And then... the ZingBots!

[paranoid glance over shoulder]

[sees a security guard waving a friendly hello]

[waves back]

I think I'm going quite mad. Quite mad indeed.

Zing on!

[Dr3vil]

Cream and 2 packets.

[FanGirl]

I get a lot of grief when I make coffee. Apparently make it too strong. Some nonsense about you're not supposed to paint walls with it. Whatever. I like it uber strong and uber sweet.

[jjcourtright]

I'm really surprised that nobody has gone with "The way I like my women: hot, black and sweet"! We must have the "mature" group of poop shooters here today.

[karmattack]

...and probably quite a few who haven't seen Airplane!

And by the way, I wasn't yelling that; the title really is "Airplane!"

[Zens_7s]

Do you like to watch films about Gladiators?
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

Anyway...I like my coffee all kinds of ways. Lately I have been grinding and brewing my own Ghirardelli Chocolate Raspberry coffee(1 tbsp grind per 6oz of water). Then I throw it in a shaker with ice and cream and a touch of sugar to make a nice ice-coffee. It was too hot around here to be drinking it the normal way.

[karmattack]

OH! I was wondering if anyone here has a French press? I mean Freedom press. Whatever. I am thinking about getting one plus a grinder. Yes, I was inspired by Queer Eye.

Anyhooters, are there any opinions out there?

[Zens_7s]

I don't have a French Press, but the grinder is essential. Also, I found it makes a huge difference if you watch your bean care. Air and moisture and heat will sap the good parts of the bean before you even grind it. If you buy pre-ground you are really killing the flavor.

The advice I follow is
* always buy full beans
* once the package is opened, refridgerate your remaining beans
* take out the extra air in the bean package and seal tightly
* grind daily instead of saving grounds because they lose flavor and get bitter

With a regular pot be sure to clean it with one drip cycle of vinegar followed by three drips of plain water every three months to remove bitter buildup. Also take the grounds out right after the last drip is done and throw out. If you leave it there the bitter leftovers drip down into your pot.

Thank you for watching Julia Child today...next week...tossing the salad...

[karmattack]

Thanks for the tips. Actually, I do a lot of that except keep whole beans and grind daily.

Though, there's something that concerns me. That's the second butt-play joke you've made in two days. Zens, I thought I should clarify that's not what I meant when I called and asked for a "booty"-call.

[ILovePapaSmurf]

<font color="red">I have tried to make coffee before, but I made it too strong and people constantly had to put loads of water in their cups. So, I have never tried to make it since..

Some other things I can't make:

*Mac and Cheese (I even burn the microwaveable stuff).
* White Rice (I'm working on that one)

I know, I am pretty sad. </font color>

[Zens_7s]

Oh my lord! You are right! Neither one was intentionally referring to the actual act. Just random phrases. Dear lord.

Besides, I know what you mean when you asked for a "booty" call. If you have forgotten, you did spell it out for me quite plainly on the phone. Something about, "tell me I'm a bad, bad boy"...

[DarthMaulRat]

I live with the horrible curse of getting no buzz from a cup of coffee. I seriously need about 4 cups before I feel any effects of caffeine. I like coffee with just a little cream and sugar, but when I really need a boost, I usually go for esspresso shots.

[karmattack]

f-yeah. Iced mocha frap with soy milk and an extra shot of espresso. After that, I can shoot giant blue fireballs from my hands. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaadoken!!!

[DarthMaulRat]

When I finally get that ultimate buzz, I can stretch my arms and legs 10 feet and blow fire.

[karmattack]

Yoga fire!

[CKYFAN6996]

same here

[Omaru]

either black with no sugar
or with plenty of cream and about 3 sugars depending on the mood. usually the first though.

[psychofiend]

I like my coffee with cream and just enough sugar to barely taste it.

[GoreFollower]

Has anyone tried coke(the soft drink) with their coffee? I hear it gives you a better hit of caffine! (But of course, if I drank something that horrible 6 0'clock in the morning I would be wide awake.)

[EternalStrife]

Plain and black. Which tends to suit my daily mood, anyway. Besides, I take some coffee in my milk.

[matthew_almeida]

when i need my kick i turn to jolt cola and coffee it gives you double the kick of regualr coffe. and a bit more kick then coffee and cola...

[Zens_7s]

My sister-in-law drinks those Starbuck Double Shots instead of coffee, so I tried one at her house this morning. It does the trick quite nicely. Two or three and I could have jogged home from Iowa.

[FanGirl]

Changing topic slightly, what are you desert island top 3 coffees? You can get specific if you like. I personally don't go for the flavored stuff.

mine:

1. Dunkin' Donuts
2. Gloria Jean's
3. Starbucks

[pm5k]

I drink cappachino. Quik Trip's French Vanilla.

[GoreFollower]

Who here dunks their donuts or pastries in their coffee? Its not bad, but I don't want to act like a trucker.

[Dr3vil]

Well, my favorite beans are:

1.Arabian Mocha Java: Well, this is the dessert selection; aside from that, this is the bean to beat.

2.Serena Organic Blend (Latin and East African Mix): Of everything I've tried, this stands as goldie locks selection, good parts of eveything you look for in coffee.

3.Guatemala Antigua: Nice and robust; reminds me of that Kevin Spacey scene in Usual Suspects.

[THX1138]

I like my coffee without any coffee in it. I can't stand the stuff.

What is that suppose to be? I mean, it's like saying you like milk without any coffee in it.

[code6enterprises]

He's saying he doesn't like coffee at all.

[EternalStrife]

That's ridiculous. How can anyone not like coffee. The caffine, the adrenaline rush.......I dare you to find me someone here who hasn't at least one time in his life or other had a starbucks or something.

[DangerSeeker]

Dunkin Donuts
local coffee shop hazelnut
7-11

and I take my coffee like I take my women: cold and bitter.

[FanGirl]

I don't have to order my drinks at my Starbucks anymore. I just walk in and they start making it for me. It's pretty cool.

[EternalStrife]

Wow, that is cool.

[FanGirl]

And people say being predictable is a bad thing.

[hurrycane]

Starbucks is a bit pricy for coffee.....just give me 7-11 mud in a cup for a buck. Try the cinnamon hazlenut creamer.
