Coffee

[Catatonic]

I have tried a half a dozen times in my life to develope a taste for coffee. Yech-never could stand it. The last time I tried was when I retired. I told myself then that I had to learn to like it so I could join the other retirees at the coffee shop. Never happened--I still hate it. I still meet the other retirees but I will have a diet coke or just water. I hate tea also. The liquids in my life are limited to water, orange juice, diet coke, beer or whiskey diet coke. Every once in awhile I will have a Red Bull.

Sounds like my wife ... she does not like to drink anything hot.

She makes me brew coffee out on the porch when we stay at our place in the mountains.

It does if you add a little cream and sugar,black coffee tastes like crap.

I've tried it a half dozen ways and it still tastes bad to me.

cut way back on coffee, since retirement..........my daughters usually make a pot occasionally...........I used to drink 4-6 cups a day.........now I drink 4-6 cups a week

I dont smoke. I dont drink. I dont use drugs. But if you ever even try to take my coffee away from me...I will reach down your throat, pull your spine out, and beat you to death with it.

I'm much happier in the mornings after I get my coffee.

I buy those little "5 hr energy" shots by the case at Costco, and keep the case under my bed so that before I fall asleep I can have one sitting on the nightstand and ready to go when the alarm goes off. I dont even think about getting out of bed until I have slammed one of those bad boys down. They give me just enough strength to get my ass downstairs to the coffee pot.

Seriously?? Do you have any idea how unhealthy those things are?

The trick I feel is powdered creamer. Ive been hooked since I was 16.

The little energy shots are mainly B vitamins, and as much caffiene as one cup of coffee.

I doubt they are the best thing in the world, but they are far from the worst.

The very best coffee I have ever had is fresh ground blue mountain coffee in Jaimaca !!!!

I lived down in Panama for a couple years during high school and we would get Sello Dorado coffee fresh from Colombia, when you opened a bag of it the whole house would be permeated with a wonderful coffee smell. Delicioso!

I would have a hard time giving up coffee. We have a kuerig machine. The k-kups are expensive, but a lot more affordable than going to dunkins or Starbucks

You can buy an adapter for around $15-20 that will let you use your own coffee.

Love the Keurig...........I notice everyone is trying to get in the act now with their own systems.

Buy from Bed Bath and Beyond with 20% off coupons ( they even honor expired coupons) Wolfgang Puck's Jamican-me-crazy with Bailey's creamer good stuff.

 

[BSWALKS]

Ya know, I did try the adapter, it leaked like crazy, so I returned it. I'll have to try another.
I buy newmans for about $30/case. Lasts us a couple weeks. Thats so much less than what we spent pre-kuerig.

I buy the good beans at the store, grind them myself, and make my coffee with a French press. MMMMM!

Nothing like fresh beans brewing/ recently grounded.

I makes me think of living in those parts of world that have FRESH beans.

Columbia, Jamaican Blue mountains, Hawaii, etc
