Coffee Thread

[Rs217]

I just have to start a coffee thread because I am a fanatic. What are you drinking lately?

Right now I'm doing Caribou Coffee Daybreak Morning Blend during the day. At night I'm doing Starbucks House Blend decaf. 

[Blitzwing]

I've been hitting their mahogany blend lately..

[detron]

No coffee for me, because..

[Sam Quint]

Great to see another fanatic!
My current favorites are:
Stumptown House Blend
Community Coffee and Chicory
Koa Coffee’s Estate Medium Roast

We need a coffee smiley!

[RamoN]

Im a coffee nut too, there are many coffee places here but there is one with  a full menu of coffees from different places and organized by their strength, weak, medium, strong, with around more than 10 different oprions on each. I must say that a colombian strong coffee is like a kick on your chin and its really the way to go on those days when work has you fully burnt out, it just feels like the coffee the  would drink

I'm not that big into coffee anymore since retiring. The mrs is a coffee fiend though. The kids and I got her a new Breville YouBrew Grind & Brew.



Here's some info on it

[styx]

real coffee should be black. Sadly I've got this instant thing that ain't much more than muddy water

[Bensasupertool]

Stewarts Shops coffee. I prefer it from the pot in store. Stewarts does sell it ground up to take home,but it just isnt the same.

[Steinar]

Kenyan coffee is my favourite. Light roast, brewed in a kalita. Yummy!

[Top-Gear-24]

I'm not a big fan of coffee itself, but I do love the smell of grinded coffee beans  .

Oh, and I also love the song  .

[bmot]

I really (really, really) like the coffee at this place I used to work.


*searching searching searching* Aaaah, found some info.


It's Arabica coffee, from Panama They call it La Torcaza


 

[enki_ck]

Most of these are just coffee colored water.

Only real coffee is Turkish/Greek coffee.



This is similar to the way we make it.

[ducttapetech]

Oh man I live on coffee. Hi octane and black. I don't do cups a day, I do pots. All kinds of coffee, hot, cold, ice in it, its all good. 

[tattoosteve99]

Mmm coffee!!! My favorite would have o be Hawaiian Kona. To me it's the best. I like the smooth flavor and its rich in caffeine

My work used to serve Sara Lee coffee, which was really good.

Two weeks ago I tried a Starbucks Caffe Misto for the first time. Definitely a good alternative from a Latte.

[Aloha]

I used to work in a greek café and the coffee was made in the pots like enki posted it was very tasty. Im not a huge coffee nut but I do enjoy Kona like TattSteve.  Hey Enki what about espresso?? I do like an espresso every now and again too.

[kkokkolis]

You are right Enki. This is the real thing. Served with Turkish Delight (loukoumi), Submarine Masticha, Orangeade or simply 1-2 heavy fresh rolled cigarettes.

Love me some Kona coffee! I'm enjoying some peaberry Kona in a French press this morning.

Just because the former image was from the net; this is what I'm having right now, with some Latakia and the company of my darling.
Loumidis Parrot Traditional, Green label, for those who would like to know.

I just had one too,  K. Didn't remember to take a pic though.

@Aloha
There's only one place in town where you can get this kind of coffee, and that opened up recently. Most other places serve espresso. I had a thread not too long ago on Crotian coffee drinking habits. I'll try to find it as it's very different than what you US folks consider as drinking coffee.

[Whoey]

The wife and I are huge fans of Starbucks, alas there is none where we live.

We usually have the a blend of local Baque brand coffee with a traditional stove top espresso maker.


We also have a Dolce Gusto Piccolo which I used to use for my morning coffee when I was working 6am shift :


Just having my 2nd cup for today and loving it.

[enki_ck]

Found the thread but I don't want to hijack the thread so I'll leave just the blog entry from a US guy about it.

[kkokkolis]

The article is right. It is the same in Greece too. In fact, it is the same in all the Balcans. The only other European place coffee shops resemble ours is Vienna, maybe because, as an empire, the were influenced by Balcan culture.

[styx]

And when you look at it Central and West Europe didn't really know what coffee was until the siege of Vienna.

Anyway I don't mind espresso as long as they don't recycle. And Enki can confirm that in a good number of places that happens too often

I am a coffee fan myself, but nothing exotic really.  Most times either store bought or Dunkin Donuts.  Love iced coffee.  I think I need to lay off of it though.  I have a big cup of hot coffee most mornings at work and it kickstarts some acid activity and I'm stuck with heartburn for a good portion of the day off and on. 

[Aloha]

that was a good read Enki thank you.  I was unaware coffee was as such in Croatia however I know little to nothing about Croatia.  I do love the smell and flavor however caffeine gets me jacked big time.  im pretty high octane anyway ( think hammie from over the hedge ) so I like to drink my coffee much like you described ( watered down ).     

[AimlessWanderer]

I'm not a big fan of coffee itself, but I do love the smell of grinded coffee beans  .

Me too  I do enjoy the odd cup of instant coffee (maybe 4 or 5 cups a week), and a very rare cup of filter coffee. The rest of the time it's tea for me. Or Cordial. Or beer. Or wine. Or .... 

I have tried drinking coffee from a coffee shop a few times and found it absolutely disgusting. I have no idea what all the names mean, but they all seem to taste equally vile just with varying degrees of milk  I've never been able to finish one yet, let alone decipher why my frappemochacockahoopydingleberrylatte is really any different from the esspressosweatyfartycacchiato I ordered last time
