COFFEE

[Bazzah]

I'm a big fan of Duran which is a Panamanian coffee. It is a sweet-tasting coffee which threw me off at first, but there seems to be no added sugar so it must be a natural flavor.
San Fransisco blend Organic coffee is one of my other favorites! You can get a huge bag for $12 at CostCo and grind it all there!
Coffee + Milk always. (Although I prefer the espresso + milk combo)
The color of an original portion snus...mmmmm

Really I like Starbucks Sumatra. WHole Bean...grind it then put it in the french press for about 6 or 7 minutes. Dark and strong baby.

Definitely a french press with that Sumatra...only buy it whole here too and grind up what I need and into the press it goes. But 6 or 7 minutes? I only go 4 minutes in it before I press that plunger down :wink:

I think they gave you the puzzled looks because you said large...it's a Venti, hehe. Sorry, just had to throw that in...you can smack me now

Sheilalynn, you comment reminded me of this cartoon. (warning foul language, prolly don;t want any kids to watch this)

I don't mind as long as it is:

a) Not Starbucks
b) Not anything that you would find in an office break room

Now we're talking something I know. IMHO it's all in the roast. For those of you who may not know, roasting coffee is a controled burn of the bean. The darker the roast the stronger the cup. Espresso vs brewed. The grind of the beans is also a major factor. The finer the grind the more surface of the coffee is exposed to the water. The absolute best coffee is the freshest. In the office never bother with a pot that has been on a heat source for more than 15-20 minutes. Best is to use an airpot. Just remember the fresher the better. 8)

I knew that was the cartoon I'd see even before I clicked it, hehe Bit of Starbucks history as to the names: At first, they had "tall" (12 oz), and "short" (8 oz). Short is still available, but you have to ask specifically for it and it's also the size of the kid drinks. So a tall is a tall cuz it used to be the "large", then they went bigger and brought in grande and venti...so even though it sounds weird to call a small a tall, it makes sense :P

Edit:
Here's another one of Foamy's cartoons about Starbucks about their credit card, gold card, starbucks cards, etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQ9nmqErGoU

And one more...about how they sent out a flyer saying how to order coffee there. I love these cartoons :wink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcwAwTPX3IQ

And the last Foamy about Starbucks and the tip cup that's on the counters now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8329ylacXNU

Would that be regular or decaf, normal syrup or sugar free, nonfat/2%/whole/breve/soy milk, extra hot/extra dry/extra wet/none of the above, for here or to go, and would you like a pound of coffee to go with that? And are we paying with our Starbucks Gold card, Starbucks Credit Card, or Starbucks Refillable Card? :lol:

One cup a day is good enough for me. Any kind is good for me.

I like coffee.

that's the best, man. Usually the highlight of my day. Take that deep breath and feel that nic hit and that perfect flavor of snus+coffee. Might as well go right back to bed after that...
