Coffee anyone?
 

I'm getting tired of the same old columbian coffee we have here at the office. It's about as bland and predictable as a Paulie Shore/Eddie Murphy buddy comedy.

You guys have any favourite coffee blends? I'm going to try to con the boss into getting some Kenya AA or guatemalan beans...something that's a nice medium roast.

Any suggestions?

i dig Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. Medium bdy and flavor. I do enjoy a hearty Columbian though...

I can see it now... "We've secretly replaced this offices coffee, with new Folders, with flavor crystals premium coffee house supreme, coco, mocha, mix coffee."

heh heh

Man, if I came in here in the morning, poured up a cup of java, and it tasted like chocolate or hazelnuts, I'd set the building on fire. biggrin:

I'll try that ethiopian one, wf. Thanx.

I hate flavored coffees. It is an absolute abomination!!!!

The only coffee flavouring I like is sugar...and 10% cream. That's IT.

/me high-fives wintersforge; spills coffee

/me curses Zone and asks him to gently dab a napkin on his crouch area oOo: eek: ed:

The best way to spice up columbian is to double the amount of grounds used. Then you can walk around all day looking like this ===> ed: We have the coffee service premeasured packs. 1 1/2 packs makes a pretty tasty cup of joe.

Any good dark roast is fine, flavored coffees are for women and children. Jamacian blue mountain coffee is excellent, but rather pricey. My parents like that coonass chickory coffee, but I cant stand it.

Jamacian blue mountain! Yeah!

I forgot all about that stuff! I tasted that coffee about 3 years ago and remember it being VERY good. I'll pick some up for home, though. No way these office drones will be drinking my jamacian blue mountain! They'd drink Maxwell House filtered through a wool sock...coffee b00ns. oOo:

I heard the Indian beans are pretty good, but they can be $$$. I just run to Timmy's to get my coffee.

Go to Starbucks they have good coffee. I like it with vanila creme.

Yeah, I bring in a can of Timmy's every now and then, but it just isn't the same. I think they use something like 30% cream at the stores...no wonder the coffee tastes so damn good.

Starbucks? Nah, I really don't like their regular coffee much. If I'm feeling particularly feminine, I'll get some white chocolate/whipped cream/coffee-achino or whatever the frig they call those things.

First thing in the morning, though, it's gotta be coffee-flavoured coffee.

I'm on a recent kick of a nice, dark roast from a local grocery stored called Trader Joe's. Very roasty, and it's a real coffee...none of this maplenut crunch garbage.

funny story...Zone and I were hanging out at the bookstore where he worked back in the day, and I brought up how my mother returned from a cruise with a beautiful gift, 2 pounds of Jamaican Blue Mountain, which cost her all of $15...upon mentioning that fact, one of the store's regulars who answers only to the name of "Goo" whipped around and chimed up "2 pounds of Jamaican for $15?!?"..."No, Goo...COFFEE" I guess regular consumption of coffee would offset Goo's primary vice.

My point is, Jamaican Blue Mountain at a local $50 a pound is hardly worth it, but it's like a $106 Cohiba cigar from Cuba...you gotta try it. biggrin:

HAW HAW HAW! Man, I forgot all about Goo...whatta friggin' burnout that dude was.

heh...maplenut crunch. Denis Leary OWNZ!

He looked like one of the prison camp occupants in BoB, only wearing a plad shirt and carrying a backpack.

So, who prefers using a Bodum (french press) vs. a perculator?

Bodum's are too complicated...I end up getting a mouthful of coffee grounds.

I'll fire up a percolashe...hoonyah.

Maxwell House. Coffee should taste like coffee. Starbucks coffee tastes like it was sitting on the burner for two days - nasty stuff.

Too lazy for those, i use a good drip coffee machine, but genuine cuban coffee is pretty hard to beat.

If I go into a starbucks or something similar, I will almost always get a giant capecino. With cinimmon. mmmmmmm....

TOTALLY agree. Tastes like it was filtered through an ass.

You got it good. All we have here is coffee flavoured hot water from vending machines. It has caffeine in it so it does it for me, but taste?

I prefer the chicken soup flavoured water, myself.

Eeeew...vending machine coffee. That sucks, man.

My hat's off to a guy who drinks VM coffee...that's a person who wants their caffeine, regardless of the delivery mechanism, and maybe prefers to drink something hot regardless of taste. IMHO, drinking VM coffee is about as enjoyable as injecting the stuff into my forehead with a turkey baster.

I find the bodum makes far superior coffee...you don't lose all the nice oils that a paper filter stops...and it's very easy to use. Dump in the grounds, fill with hot water, stir if needed, plunge, pour...bam, you have your Joe. I've already had too much today.

Coffee from Kona is probably the best i have ever had. Something about the High Acidity in the Volcanic soil produces a realy rich full flavored bean. If I can't get Kona coffee, I usually pick up Starbucks Espresso blend and double up the scoops and its pretty good too.

Starbucks is shit. They roast their coffee too dark. Take it from me, i work at Second Cup. The best coffee is San Augustin from Columbia.

Can ya, umm, "obtain", a bag of Kenyan AA for me con Brio?? heh heh

I have the wire mesh filter for my drip machine although paper filters make cleanup much easier (for the lazy anyway.

which one the medium or the dark? biggrin:


when i got hired i had to take a coffee test to get my full job title of Certified Coffee Agent......

go ahead and laugh cool:

Medium. Man, I gotta stop into Second Cup on the way home and get me a bag of that...

i had a finnish mocha coffee before...it was good =]

Suprisngly (I know thats spelt wrong), we recently got Starbucks at work now. Just regular and decaf. I voted for the Choclate Brownie Frappichino, but they didn't get it. cry:

tea is the way to go

...rhymes with pee oOo:

so does coffee.....? oOo:

Coffee is hands down one of the most disgusting things in the world.

Those that drink it black.... oOo:

Anyone remember the SNL where Chris Farley went nuts after he found out they replaced his coffee with Folgers Decafe? It was supposed to be one of the comercials, but he ended up punching the waiter in the face, flipping over a table and screaming "WHY GOD WHY?! OH YOU BASTARDS!" biggrin:

i drink starbucks house blend daily, it is my maxwell house. best gourmet coffess imo are tanzanian peaberry, and mocha java. i tried blue mountain once and wasnt all that impressed with it . i like dark roasts the best - french roast. ed:
