Um… I left the coffeepot on since early this morning. There is a dry layer of sludge on the bottom of the carafe with fissures running through it. It looks like the bottom of a dried up lake bed. It was a nice french roast in its day. Anyone care for a piece of coffee??

I’ve been know to drink a pot or tow ;). In fact my original sig fits this thread perfectly P.S. If anyone wants it please feel free to steal it
You want brilliance BEFORE I’ve had my coffee!!!

Obviously I haven’t had enough coffee yet, that should be two.
What the hell do I look like? A coffee Jerker? Bah!

Suggestion: Fill carafe with ice cubes and a teaspoon of table salt. Shake around. Rinse. Repeat. Takes the worst of burned on coffee sludge off.
For those of us addicted to ultra High Octane coffee: I highly recommend Gevalia. Kinda pricey, but well worth it if you really love strong coffee. It’s Swedish in origin, and those people sure know how to make good coffee, IMHO.
You can join the coffee club and have them mail coffee to you every couple months. MM MM Good.
French press = goooood
(recalling the days long ago in SD chat when GaWd thought I was a man and would call me JavaJerker…)
We have a middle eastern restaurant here in town that offers free Turkish coffee with your meal. My husband loves it. I think it’d be good with about a 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
Oooh, wait, that’s my regular mix.
Can’t seem to get used to that flavor or feel of the grinds on your tongue. Plus, its so strong, it makes your hair stand on end.
damn. i was hoping a cup o’ coffee would just appear on my desk, too. must have been the wrong god. hmph.
The drink of the gods would have to be a double short black espresso served in a glass. It must be velvety smooth, aromatic and sport a golden honey coloured froth.
Okay, I’ve resisted posting in yet another coffee thread all day. Now I can’t resist any more.
I started drinking 1/2 coffee, 1/2 milk when I was about 6 or 7. Discovered capuccino and espresso on a trip to Europe when I was 21. Now I drink Trader Joe’s French Roast, made in a French press every morning. I’ll drink 24 oz. of home-made espresso at a sitting, and have been know to order a 10-shot espresso at coffee bars.
Coffee is good.
Off on a tangent: Dad was flying in an AD-5 Skyraider AEW aircraft during the Korean War. Being AEW, they were the last plane back on the ship (don’t want any MiGs jumping you at the last minute!). One cold Korean winter’s day, the plane ahead of them crashed on the deck. No way for dad’s plane to get down. They had to divert to the mainland. The AD-5 had a 3-person, enclosed cockpit and as AEW it was not expected to get into any dogfights. The crew were very comfortable in their summer flying suits with the heater on. It was a long flight to the land base. The plane ran out of fuel on roll-out. An airplane’s heater gets its heat from the engine. No fuel, no engine, no heat. And dad and the others were in the middle of a Korean winter in their summer flying suits. Brrrr! They did manage to get some coffee, but it had been sitting for quite a while. One thing it had going for it: it was hot. Dad told me it was the worst cup of coffee he’d ever had. And the best.
If you coffee lovers out there take whitener in your java… try canned evapourated milk instead.
It’s better than real cream. Mmmmmmmmm
Coffee is the most foul, bitter, rotten substance on Earth. It would take a very large sum of money to convince me to ever take another sip of that terrible stuff…
A great pot of morning coffee made with 1/3 Silky Jazz and 2/3 French roast dripped thru a gold cone, warm milk made frothy by my trusty manual “frothy milk maker” which is better than steamed milk, a dash of sweetner
One bagel crosscut and toasted; one side with hazelnut butter and garden cream cheese on the other or fresh french bread with brie cheese and blueberry jam.
Fresh orange juice
Second cup with my first of five Dunhill cigarettes.
Ok. I am ready for the world.
Well, if ya don’t like coffee, what are ya doin’ in our thread, ya big knucklehead?
I’ve tried, really I have.
I despise the taste of coffee.
I tried adding milk, chocolate, etc.
It’s horrible.
But it smells Wonderful…
