Coffee, mmm, love it! What is your favorite?

[DebiPie]

As I sit and drink my morning coffee, I wonder what your favorite coffee is? So tell me,

Do you drink coffee?

What brand?

Do you grind your own beans?

How do you make it? (coffee maker, French press, one cup maker,etc)

How do you take it?

How much do you drink a day?

Mmmm, don't you just love it? lol

[SkyPilot]

wow, it's so many questions, I'll think were old friends when you know so much about me and my coffee habits..haha

I absolutely love coffee, the taste, the kick and the reported benefits especially (new studies indicate that coffee may help protect you from certain cancers, prostate for one)

I purchase unroasted green beans on Amazon from organic growers.

I roast my own using a Whirly Pop popcorn popper and my grill. Usually to a full city+ roast. ( I like it strong, so sometimes I roast to espresso roast)

I grind my beans each morning to a fine grind.

If I have work, I use a drip coffee maker, if not I use a press.

I never use tap water, always filtered drinking water.

I like it black most often, with some flavored creamers if I want something richer, or if I have a need for a sweet sip I'll use one packet of S&L or better yet a teaspoon of pure natural brown cane sugar.

When I'm working in the office I'll have up to 5 or 6 cups a day, in the field 2 cups, on the boat a thermos after I've had my customary 2 cup morning wake up.

Since I started to roast my own beans and buy better quality coffee beans I've become addicted to the best brews, Hawaiian or Peruvian high mountain grown are my faves..and YES! I do just love it..good morning to you!

[DebiPie]

Oh! I love it! Someone who loves coffee as much as I do...I think more! I have never heard of roasting your own. Cool. I may have to get more info from you about that, sounds interesting. Here's alittle taste treat for you, only once in awhile, nature brown sugar. Mmm...

[SkyPilot]

I'd be glad to share with you...it really makes me appreciate the experience more when I taste that fresh roast. It's not difficult really and I roast in small batches so it's always very fresh

[DebiPie]

Ha! You need to read hengan's comment. We apparently do not like coffee after all. Who knew?

[SkyPilot]

ha! what you said! to each his own..:-) he's apparently never actually 'tasted' coffee, just been affected by the caffeine..oh well

[just_tired]

Well I happen to live in the coffee capital of the world. In Finland we drink most coffee per person a year. And I love it! I usually use a french press, but if I'm in a hurry or just lazy a drip coffee maker. I drink dark roasts which I find in the local store, but whenever I have some spare cash I go to a coffee shop and buy something special. Last one I bought was an Italian espresso roast.

Oh and my friend also has espresso pot. It really kickstarts a day!

[DebiPie]

Finland, eh? I did not know this. Thanks for the info.

[Simple-Simonette]

I prefer French Press in the morn, Kona Hawaiian coffee, raw cane sugar for sweetening and cold, cold real cream to add that touch of richness.

I do have an espresso machine for my lattes and I do grind my own beans.

I don't like flavored coffees or creamers - the coffee taste is what I love.

I drink a gallon of coffee a day - though I can do a cup of tea or two.

[DebiPie]

Kona is my fav, French press, and very, very strong. Real cream, just a splash. Sometimes, a tiny bit of truvia, but only later in the day. Yeah, I'm not into flavors either.

[acat321]

i LOVE coffee, I usually drink 1-2 cups a day (always one in the morning!). I either buy it from tim horton's, or make it at home, I have a one cup maker. :) I love starbucks though too! just can't afford it every day.. I take mine with milk only, but lots of it. yum :D

[EquineJewel]

my favorite coffee has got to be Starbucks Christmas Blend. My family buys me bag after bag of it to stock up because they only have it during Christmas. lol and I drink it with a small amount of creamer (non flavored) and some sweet & low. iced or hot depending on the day and about a cup of coffee in general a day, or Ill make myself an expresso and turn it into an iced latte in summer

[DebiPie]

Do you freeze those bags? It will make them last longer.

[EquineJewel]

lol I try to however its kinda pricey so I ususally only end up with 5 at most and they don't last long :)

[quentos]

I'm more into instant coffee... Nescafé Gold... two teaspoonsful in a mug, fill it with hot water and TINY bit of milk. No sugar. About three mugs a day. My traditional time of day for a coffee - be4 breakfast, in the afternoon, 8pm and a tiny cup (one teaspoonful this time) at 11pm.

[DebiPie]

Instant? Oh, you lost me there, brother.

[quentos]

sorry ;{)> I drink the classic one @ work at least tho :{)>

[torken]

Coffee just makes my day start easier when I have early class.

I do enjoy the taste, but the effects it has on your teeth, and the addiction to caffeine, make me wish I didn't drink it.

I drink it with skim milk, no sugar, one cup in the morning.

Usually I use a coffee maker with store bought grinds, I just went through a Dunkin Donuts bag. (of coffee grinds, not donuts haha)

[DebiPie]

I know what you mean about the teeth. I use that new colgate whitening toothpate, in the red box. It really whitens your teeth & keeps off the stains. FYI

[BCRanger10]

I do, but I usually go to Starbucks or this other coffee shop in my town. I haven't brewed my own for a long time. When I get mine though, I usually get a caramel-flavored one. I'll usually have one or two cups a day.

[Fishka]

I drink coffee, I buy grinded beans and brew in turkish pot with cardamom or cinnamon. Once a day. And not every day. For me is a special time of the day))

[hengan]

i don't drink coffee, don't need it, gives me migrane instantly. really don't get what all this fuss is about coffee all the time..

studies have proven that nobody likes the taste of coffee but only the effect it gives you.

[DebiPie]

Hahahaha! Studies show nobody likes the taste of coffee? Right. What are you on? Myself, and apparently quite a few others here, love the taste of coffee. Sorry you don't. BTW, it helps rid me of migraines. To each his own.

[hengan]

do you remember the very first sip of coffee you had? and did you love the taste then? ( same counts for beer or wine) I seriously doubt it. It gave you a buzz (even if you didn't conciously notice it) some time late you had another sip and so on and on. until you started to drink it. this is most elementary psychology (pavlov conditioning) of course you didn't notice it.

the world can be explained with 2 things: physics and psychology.

[DebiPie]

I sure do! My first drink of coffee was wonderful, I loved it & wondered why I hadn't drank it before. Beer? Same thing, I remember taking a sip of daddy's beer as a kid, about 12, & it was so good. Of course, I didn't keep drinking at 12. Wine, same thing. My first was when I was 17 & I haven't stopped since, my tastes have just improved. Sorry pal, people really DO enjoy things the first time they taste them. Oh, please don't say I can't remember, I actually remember everthing, it's a cruse. lol

[taster]

I am currently using a blend of 2/3 Folgers and 1/3 Starbucks Breakfast Blend...but I take a lot of heat because I use a lot of cream...<3<3<3=D

[DebiPie]

Ooooh! You like alittle coffee with your cream! I see. :D

[doubleoh]

Tim Hortons. America doesn't have it, so I don't drink coffee. Sad, I know.

[DebiPie]

Where have you been? We have Tim Hortons! At least where I live...sorry for your luck. :(

[KatO7]

I like a lot of different types of coffee but my favorite one has to be with dark chocolate. Usually I drink one coffee a day but when I have to wake up very early - I drink 2 or 3 cups.

[LonelyandInTheDark]

Grande Caramel Macchiato, Non-fat milk, with whipped cream...that's the only thing I get from Starbucks.

[Anonymous]

i have a small cup of coffee maker maxwell coffee with lots of french vanilla creamer in it

but most of the time I make my very own ice coffee aha

[Anonymous]

The main way I drink my coffee is hot with sweetener in it. dunkin donuts coffee is good. I don;t grind my own beans, I just put it in a drip coffee machine. I drink several cups a day.

[DebiPie]

I've always use a very small bit of sweetener, until recently I used splenda. But I just started using Truvia,it's good. Just fyi.

[Anonymous]

I like French Vanilla, but I don't like the French. So I refer to it as FV.

[DebiPie]

Haha.

[Opinion Owner]

Just like I refer to Obama as "TheGuy" because I hate him.

[DebiPie]

Lost me there. Had nothing to do with drinking coffee. You Anonymous folks screw up everything. So I have learned, don't let you answer my questions. I hadn't before, thought I'd give you all a chance, but YOU screwed it up for everyone.

[Opinion Owner]

I didn't screw it up. I hate the French so I call my French Vanilla ice coffee FV. I hate the President so I call him "the guy".

[debbiebooboobaby]

extra large 4 and 4 at tim hortons.

[Xx_DRE_xX]

Coffee the old soul's Elixir.

[Anonymous]

[Dragan]

I like coffee, but the Turkish.
