How do you Coffee?
« on: January 09, 2017, 03:39:44 PM »
Vote for one "at" statement, one "by" statement and one "with" statement.

Or vote for three at's.  Or two by's and one with.  I don't care.  Have fun.  Try to learn something.  Leave me alone.  Where's my damn caffeine?
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

If I have time in the morning, I'll either do a French press or pour over before I head to work. If not, I'll use the nespresso in the office.

No shortage of decent roasters out here but to be honest I have next to no palate when it comes to coffee.

Unapologetic coffee snob here.  My coffee either comes from my near commercial quality espresso machine at home - after years of practice - or from a really good local shop. 

The latter option was unavailable in Rochester until a couple years ago, as the best we had were places like Starbucks and Dunn Bros.  Fortunately, a local family opened up a place with a barista who really knows what he's doing, and the quality has gotten really good in the past couple of years.

I'm also very particular about where I go when I travel.  Fortunately, I have a few go-to places in Milwaukee and Minneapolis (the places I go most often).

I find it ironic that 'at home' isn't an option.  Less than a generation ago, I'd bet most folks had that first cup there with some form of breakfast like cereal, fruit or mom's bacon and eggs.

There was no, "I don't coffee and I hate the taste of it, but I do drink a lot of hot tea" option. I feel left out....I need a safe space now.

I believe that's called Teavana.

I'm with you.  Coffee is absolutely disgusting to me.

Yet, he has a "with a Keurig" option - I'd guess the majority who use them do so at 'home'.

He also has "by myself of my spouse" option, which seems to imply at home.

We've got a drip brewer and a Keurig at work.  If I'm the first to arrive, I'll start a pot but get a Keurig to get me started (I'm impatient like that).  If there's already a pot made, I'll drink that.  My wife and I will brew a pot at home from time to time on a weekend, but it's certainly not a daily (or even weekly) thing.  I'm not particularly picky when it comes to coffee.

I was to go to coffee brewer for late LIMO shifts. Mostly because I was like one of 2 people who would drink it that late, but I just enjoyed doing it.

I've really been interested in getting into cold brewing because sometimes I am in the mood for cold coffee instead of hot.

Anyone on the board have any experience with cold brewing?  Any recommendations?

I'm partial to Starbucks Italian Roast that I make just before leaving my office in a drip brewer so that the timer turns the machine on in the morning so it's ready when I walk in the door.

I am down to just two addictions in life; coffee and cigars.

My Starbucks order is 4 venti coffees, each with double shot espresso.

I buy the beans and make the same home recipe; a 14 cup pot of coffee and 2 4cup espressos (8 shots).

This lasts me two days, each time; and I dont drink any coffee on the weekends...by Sunday I get normal sleep. lol

My parents were Minnesotans and true to their Garrison Keillor  roots there always was a pot of coffee on, during all waking hours.

 Garrison Keillor --Coffee Jingle

Smells so lovely when you pour it
You will want to drink a quar’t
Of coffee.

It’s delicious all alone, it’s
Also good with doughnuts.
Black coffee

Coffee stimulates your urges
It is served in Lutheran churches
Keeps the Swedes and the Germans
Awake through the sermons
Have a pot of it today
I’m sure you’ll say it’s awfully
Good coffee.
I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

My next cup will be my second.  Doubt it ever happens.  Love the smell.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

primarily home drip with local roasterie's beans, when i go out it's normally to meet someone and the 'big' locally owned place is loud as ef so i go Mom and Pop coffee house/bakery. 

Black at home, latte extra shots or chai with a couple espresso shots away.

I've got 3 makers at home (traditional [no chicos], Keurig & Nespresso), but this month I'm putting Caribou out of biz. They had an all you can drink in January tumbler for a net $30... there's about 90 of them within a few miles of me. I stop in a couple/few times a day for a refill
Thanks for ruining summer, Canada.

Coffee is a caffeine delivery system for me.  If it still tastes like coffee I don't have enough junk in it
