Coffee

[Andres]

Ahh, now there's a man with a fine grasp of life.

Seconding Beirut's approval, now that's a man who conquered the world with all its wealth. May you be together for long

Thank you guys .

Best part of it : I'm going to marry that lovely girl next week, on saturday. I hope for a long life with plenty of sunny sundays, hopefully blessed with some nice children in the nearest future possible.

If there's one thing I'm willing to learn my yet to be born children, then it is to enjoy those simple but o so beautiful things as a cup of coffee on a sunny sunday morning in good company.

Wow that was great news to hear, Andres. If it wasn't coffee, we wouldn't be hearing that, right?

So that in addition to my previous wishes, may you have healthy kids that are as much to found a football club.

Life can only be handled when you can enjoy a cup of coffee to its fullest.

Putting milk into an espresso would send an Italian (a real one, not an ersatz American-Italian) into fits, and they would know immediately that they were dealing with a North-American.

They can have their fit, and I'll have it the way I want.

I do not drink coffee yet, confining myself to tea for the time being.

Don't want to be totally dependant on caffeine for being able to keep my eyes open in the morning.

I have an espresso percolator thingy, that makes about 8 shots. I have a mug that takes 8 shots. I'll occasionally make two rounds. Good for waking up in the morning, or for late night essaying.

Grind the beans first, of course. No milk, no sugar.

I'll have the odd cappucino in a cafe if I happen to wander by one. In fact, had one just now - no internet at home just yet.

I like a good Cappuccino, no sugar, from Costa now and again, but milk generally doesn't agree with my stomach too well, so it sends to be only an occasional thing. Starbucks is pretty poor. Their Cappuccino is weaker than Costa's. Cafe Nero isn't bad either.

I drink Finish coffee with milk.No sugar.Im not found of the fancy Italian coffee drinks.A good coffee in my mind is like Presidentti mixture ,light roasted mixture of Colombian and Central american coffee beans.No fancy stuff just great and tasty coffee.Here are couple Finish coffee´s: http://www.allthingsfinn.com/finnish-coffee.htm

I don't need coffee in the morning, but I find nothing more relaxing before work, than a nice hot cup of coffee.

[SwordsMaster]

2 coffees a day, one for breakfast, one after lunch, about 5€ a day. 2 shots espresso with no milk, 1 sugar. Depending on the day I'll take no sugar, no milk; sugar with no milk;milk with no sugar; and anything in between.

I normally don't drink coffee, but when I do it has to be BLACK and strong. Those little Turkish coffees that a lot of people can't even get down are just about right for me. I once did a taste test for a coffee company, only their strongest was a bit to my liking, although I did point out that i would have liked it a bit stronger...

Part of the reason I don't drink coffee is just because nobody makes a decent cup to my liking. Having to drink a cup of water down junk is not my idea of a good time.
Of course, another part of why I don't drink more coffee is that the caffein would probably kill me (I get headaches from drinking too much cola sometimes...)

I do like IRISH COFFEE, with lots of whiskey and a bit of cream ! At least people tend to make the coffee part strong enough when making irish coffee.

Seems Turkish coffee has some reputation among coffee fans.

For those who say they can handle the most bitter coffee around, do not go back from Turkey before you try Mırra, which is a famous kind of coffee served especially in city of Şanlıurfa. (The word Mırra is derived from the Arabian word "mur" that means "bitter")



This thick burn-shot is served in ordinary Turkish coffee cup (=fincan), but is filled to its half and served twice. Mırra is made from usual coffee beans but the cooking process is what makes the difference. Better see it for yourself if you ever have a chance to visit here.

P.S. They say you have to return the fincan to whom served it. Or else you traditionally have to pay for your mistake (such as filling the cup with gold or contributing to the marriage expenses of whom served it)

LEN,

Sounds like the Klingon Tea Ceremony. I like it.

I always thought some sugar, cardamon, or both (added before breweing) were considered essential to make Turkish coffee drinkable... is it common for people over there to drink it straight like that?

[IrishArmenian]

Black Coffe for me. If I have had a late night, I turn our native coffee into a culturally cross-bread, very unpopular creation mix of Eastern and Western cultures (Just like me!) with Whiskey and Cream. So good it is. LEN, if you want to try it go a hed, but I have met two people who have tried it and liked it outside myslef of corse.
Yes, I agree with LEN. Our coffe over here is REAL coffee. Not reccomended for those who:
A) Are not accustomed to it.
B) Think the sweeter the better.
A relative from out of the Country/Area was Nocked on his ass by our coffee, and he says he's a black coffee person.

[Crazed Rabbit]

I don't drink the stuff. Tastes bad, and I don't care to become hooked on it. Usually, I don't need it to wake up.

The stifling heat does that.

Coffee is extremely disgusting, especially the aftertaste and the way it stain my teeth. My whole family are hardcore coffee drinkers except for my brother and I, we are tea drinkers.

[The Spartan (Returns)]

However I think that you should not abandon family's traditions, LLB. After watching that video..oh well..

..Wait..Mırra may treat you
