Twas not my intent to look like I was rubbing it in. I was saluting your well-placed boutons spoof.
Now if you'll pardon me, I need to GFM.
I hardly go to Starbucks anymore. Too many good local places to choose from in New Orleans. Starbucks works when I'm really craving a frappuccino, but I don't really consider that to be coffee.
Living here has also broken me of the whole bean habit. Hooked on this stuff:
It's been forever since I've visited NO. I imagine there's some phenomenal coffee houses down there. When I get my bike, NO has some road trip potential.
I never considered Starbucks to be good enough to justify their prices, and they bought out their compe ions that I did like.
A simple Columbian coffee, like Yuban, works for me.
lol Darrin's back now that the subject has changed.
The old comfortable shoe, even for Darrin. This thread reigns.
\oo/
Too subtle by half. Maxwell House and Folger's come to mind, but perhaps I'm dating myself...
Pride of place. The coffee tradition, alas, isn't so strong here. Admiration.
All hail to the local brand of proven strength and quality.
Ok, WH. My order of Sulawesi Kolassi was on my porch when I got home. Brewed a pot this morning.....I'm a fan. Bright, crisp with a soft almost mute, nutty body. No acidity. Kinda Jamaican Blue meets Sumatra.
I'm a fan now. Thanks, dude.

'em all to .
My wife who has only just started drinking coffee this year, says that chicory is the way to go for her. I honestly really can't tell the difference.
If you want a real coffee adventure, look into buying the beans unroasted and roast them yourself. I used to work with a guy who did that, and he would roast some before coming to work, then bring the beans in, grind them on the spot and brew it. Best coffee I have ever had.
You can presumedly use a plain old popcorn popper to roast the beans. So it doesn't take much to get into it.
What does that have to do with coffee? (blinks innocently)
I just can't handle the chickory...it instantly transforms a good cup of coffee into a bitter, biting beat down. I'd love to try my hand at roasting tho....but that seems like an expensive hobby. I need another one of those like I need a hole in my head.
Really? *perk*
Almost as good as the "repeal the job killing health care reform act"
(cues clown music)
The greatest show on earth.
Well my wife dumps a ton of sugar and cream into it, so bitter isn't as much of a concern.
I'm working my way through some Ghiradelli beans I got as a gift. Never really thought of Ghiradelli for anything other than chocolate, but I'm very pleased by their coffee.
Dammit! Home roasters are actually priced reasonably. I'm ing doomed.
