I have decided to start a thread to salute the art of brewing various kinds of coffee with some useless information about each way of brewing and pics showing each step, starting when I find my cam dock…. ๐
June 8, 2010 at 2:10 am #817247AAH! Caffeine! <3 It keeps me alive at work….. ๐
July 22, 2010 at 12:01 am #817248Red Bull, Red Bull, Red Bull!!
Funny thing is, I used to hate the taste of Red Bull. I thought that the taste resembled carbonated cough syrup or something, but after my brain got a load of all that sugar and caffeine, I somehow began to enjoy it. (I only drink the diet one now though) My favorite energy drink (and the first one I tried) was called Stacker 2 YJ Stinger, (in sinful citrus) but I’m pretty sure that the citrus flavor has been discontinued. ๐ Now, I’m not a huge fan of energy drinks, (and Red Bull can make me nauseous) but I just thought I’d contribute to this thread. :yes:
July 22, 2010 at 1:14 am #817249mmmmm,smell the fresh groundmmmmm ๐ Per cup-I grind mine fresh from Hazelnut beans,boil my water for a cup,put fresh ground in French Press,pour in water,while putting in my sugar and creamer in my cup,the coffee cooks.Stir coffee in press and plunge grounds,pour in cup and voila’ a great cup of coffee.
I am the only one that drinks it so I don’t need a pot that to me,sits and gets over-cooked,no wasted coffee and I get one fresh ground/brewed cup at the timemmmmmmm ๐Every act matters.No matter how small๐

Male Hearth....one day๐คDream on.July 22, 2010 at 7:09 am #817250I love caffeine, but I get it from Diet Pepsi. Twice I’ve tried to cut diet soda out of my diet (for no other reason than I want to reduce my artificial sweetner intake), but after 6 months or so, I start drinking it again for the caffeine. I tried to replace it with tea or coffee, but I hate their taste unless I mask it with syrups, which then defeats the point of drinking them because it’s no healthier than soda at that point. Hmm, I should try caffeinated water. Maybe I’ll buy some tomorrow….
Sorry to crash the coffee thread ๐ณ

I am exactly the same way. (Except I drink diet iced tea or Coke for caffeine) I’m still such a baby when it comes to coffee, and to me, expresso tastes like dirt. :puke:
I’ll eat coffee ice cream on occasion, but it’s got to be mocha, with chocolate chips… :yum:July 22, 2010 at 11:45 pm #817253Thanks, bodine ๐

I consider coffee an acquired taste (same with beer for me). And I’m just not dedicated enough to consume the amount needed to acquire that taste. =P
And I’m pretty sure expresso has some dirt in it. It’s boiled dirt so it’s sterilized, so no worries ๐
November 17, 2010 at 3:52 am #817254Can’t have a latte without espresso! I would never drink espresso alone, but there are too many awesome coffee drinks that involve it for me to shun it ๐
Lattes are my favorite though – half milk, half espresso, just a leetle bit of sweetie added.
Also, this isn’t coffee, but the coffee shop serves a thing called a Steamer which is just steamed milk with flavored syrup added. It’s so delicious and it’s great for when you want something hot but don’t want the caffeine. I like mine with irish cream flavor ๐
