I'm making some coffee.

Thanks, but I already had my coffee and coffee poop.


Been thinking of getting a coffee roaster.

You never have to ask. You're in the city?
Hang on, I'll be there in 45 minutes. 😀

I do need to pick up some beans today from Whole Foods. Ran out of Sumatra Lintong, which was excellent.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Sure, pour me a cup?

Listen OP, I don't know what kind of crap you're trying to pull here, but posting a coffee thread without pics is completely absurd. Have you seen the way it should be done? Others here have.
You discuss with us the making of coffee, a well loved beverage around the world. Yet you fail to provide any visual detail or confirmation of your actions.

Had my coffee this morning. Black, no sugar. Right now I'm enjoying a cup of herbal tea with a little honey.

Kopi Luwak ? No, I think I will pass.

 

[TheVrolok]

I like Iced Coffee. Mmm.

 

[HeXen]

Isn't it late for coffee? I use a kureg, I'm far from picky about coffee, there is no shortage of flavored creamers to make even the most vile cup of joe taste just fine.

 

[uhohs]

never too late for coffee. 🙂

almost 5pm, time to grind up some beans with my handheld hario and do a pour-over.

I am a coffee snob and I will drink Eight O'Clock any time its offered. For cheap coffee, they do a great job. I'll take it over Starbucks or gas station "premium" coffee.

I was a little upset because the price went up by a couple dollars not too long ago. But then again its still half the price of most of the coffee I drink.

Publix had a BOGO last week on Eight O'clock, I bought whole bean and ground just before brewing, granted that would be a PITA at 6:00 AM but I'll have to say it was the best-tasting coffee I've had for quite awhile. I think the fresh-grinding helps a lot with the flavor.

Being a coffee snob, but drinking your coffee with cream, sugar, a shot of vanilla, or anything else but black is like being a whiskey snob and only drinking whiskey sours.

Just made some right now.

When I grew up on the East coast, Eight O'Clock, Red Circle, and Bokar (sp?) were the A&P house brands.

Mentioning Eight O'Clock brings back childhood memories of old A&Ps that had a manual grinder next to their Eight O'Clock in bulk bins, and watching adults use it.

<-------- Antithesis of any sort of coffee snob.

Eight O'Clock is excellent value coffee. For usually around $6 a lb, it's really not bad.

single origin kenyan coffee ftw

Coffeee gooood

Eww, that kind of looks like dishwater, coffee that weak I cannot stand.

I thought the same. That's one good thing about tea. It has a wide range of strengths where it tastes acceptable, if not optimal.

Lol. It's stronger than it looks. Ethiopia duromina light roast. Most other coffee I brew comes out way darker using the same quantity of fresh grounds.

If all you can taste is "bitter" it's not good coffee, though.

 

[waffleironhead]

I'll ave alf a cup. Trying to cut back.

Never heard of it, "Ethiopia duromina" sounds like an exotic virus but if you find it tasty then by all means enjoy.

Not for black tea. Strong black tea is too tannin-rich. It always gives me an upset stomach. Oolong also, to a lesser degree. Green tea is more forgiving, and white tea even more so.

Tea flavor is as sensitive (if not more so) to temperature, brew time, and quantity of leaves/grounds used than coffee.

I'm kind of the same way. I can drink one cup of very strong tea, but more than that upsets my stomach.

I like my coffee like I like my women.. cold & bitter.
