coffee

[Dex]

We have a Starbucks machine in our office and can get all the free coffee or cocoa I want, and its going to waste.

Sucks that I'm not a coffee fan, but everyone likes a good cup of cocoa every now and then.

The House of Coffee Beans in Houston has really great stuff - my favorite morning coffee is their Guatemalan.

Dude, STFU. Folgers, black, sir yes ing sir.

Drop the ing asshole pretense. My coffee (that yes, I care about) comes in a three lb bag from a ing warehouse. Sorry that's not minimalist enough to meet your "I'm a John Wayne wannabe" standards.

And if you want to drink black folgers, fine, folgers is good. But the minute you start looking down on everybody else and calling them snobs because they don't, you're becoming a snob yourself. It doesn't really matter whether you're drinking folgers or not, you're the only one in this thread that's judging other people for not drinking what you drink. And it was clear from your first post. Asshole.

You might want to switch to de-caf.

I prefer beans from the Indonesian regions (specifically Sulawesi being my favorite, followed by Sumatra) although I also enjoy a good Ethiopian bean as well.

Right now I've been roasting a Sulawesi Toraja Sapan-Minanga that is quite awesome. Roasting about 10 seconds into 2nd crack is perfect for these beans. I would highly recommend them.

My favorite though? Last year there was a crop labeled "Grade 1 Toraja" from my supplier (Sweet Marias). That stuff was heaven in a cup.

wow. you're an aficionado. cool. i thought i was "semi-cool" being that i ground my own beans. you have a roaster?

Don't call everyone besides yourself "dumbass snobs" from some ivory tower and then act surprised that it might piss one of them off.

If I get coffee out, it's Starbucks or a local joint and my order changes. Usually a mocha, though.

As far as making coffee at home, I just bought a bag of Starbucks Arabian Mocha Sanani that is delicious. I make it strong as and add a fair amount of fat free half & half and sugar in the raw.

And, yeah, I like Starbucks. With the exception of their use of prison labor, they're actually a pretty decent corporation and get too bad a rap for running small businesses out of town. If not for Starbucks' popularity helping to establish/normalize the coffee house culture, a lot of those mom & pop coffee houses would never have been started.

Last time I had coffee was 2 Christmases ago. I spent most of the day puking.

I love coffee from Dunkin Dounuts (There's one on everywhere in Massachusetts, more so then Starbucks.) I like either French Vanilla or coconut. If I make coffee at home, I don't really care for the brand, as long as it has a lot of half and half in it.

I don't use fancy or expensive brands of coffee. But I do make sure I use filtered water, makes cheap ass coffee taste great.

[JoeChalupa]

I've never been a coffee drinker but my wife LOVES a cup of joe in the morning....noon....and night....with plenty of sugar.

Oh yea, good water and unbleached filters are essential. Ever use the HEB brand? Not bad

Yes, HEB coffee's are good. I've sampled different flavors.

And sometimes..........I put whip cream in my coffee.
