Coffee

I did not try bulletproof coffee proper but I did but 1 tbsp of unsalted kerrygold in my coffee yday morning and it was p good! But I sit at a desk ll day (sometimes I stand up for a few minutes at a time) so idk if i can rly gauge all of the energy it did or did not give me

if you put butter in your coffee I suggest using maple syrup as well

for waffle coffee

waffee

omg i wanna peep dat waffee

WAIT

maybe coffle is a better name

that sounds cawful.

a hong kong-style restaurant nearby here offers "lemon coffee", which i haven't been brave enough to try yet

suggest banoffee

yikes

idk about lemon coffee.

Iced latte - is this a recent invention? I don't remember this being around a few years ago. Then again I always order regular coffee when drinking out.

they'll dump ice in anything

my far-flung gf makes this p much every day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_iced_coffee

often with rum

i rather cannot wait to try it

the coffee too amirite

Does she use Trung Nguyen coffee though

I was into that for a minute, cafe du monde seems to be the stuff of choice here judging by the huge pallets at the ends of the aisles at all the Asian supermarkets. With sweetened condensed milk.

Chickory outside of viet iced coffee is horrible though

So given that my coffee routine is taking too long on the mornings I have to also get my toddler out of the house, I decided to sell my soul and try to find a drinkable instant coffee. I found this stuff at a local grocer that carries a lot of Russian and middle eastern stuff -- I think it's actually a swiss brand but it's probably popular in those locales:

It's honestly not bad at all if you make it strong -- kind of tastes like real coffee. Better than k-cup coffee in any case.

The Keurig is too damn expensive. Back to the french press.

lol fuck a keurig

ugh I have yet to have any decent coffee from a Keurig, wtf.

Stevie are you still aeropressing?

I was confronted with a Keurig at my last job and I could not get a remotely drinkable cup out of it. Seriously WTF

I liked the convenience. But same as heroin addiction and inkjet printers, the consumables are where they get you.

A hotel I stay in a lot "upgraded the coffee experience" in some of the rooms with Keurigs, so not great. The tea pods are also bleh. At home I've been switching it up between cold brew, aeropress, and instant espresso (either Ferraro or Caffe D'vita).

i've been buying the trader joe's cold brew, which isn't bad.

this is my favorite cold brew on the market, but i believe it's only available in new york and via mail order:

the chicory cuts the bitterness a little.

supposedly a retailer down in irvine has it, which may be of some interest to mr. telecom.

I have not aeropressed in a minute but I still do from time to time.

(i stand corrected re irvine. the place is in brentwood. for some reason the google map gave the route to irvine when it brought up the address.)

this thread lead me to this item. made a wee investment and it's all-time. sis got one too and she LOVES it. really nicely made i think and makes sucha damn fine cuppa:

i liked keurig tbrr

Is 10 PM too late to make a cup?

Do not go gently or just, you know, go gently

after a cup that late you'll go like dulcolax in the morning ime

Feel the desire to note that I was doing pour-overs way before they were a desirable way to make coffee. It was a way to rapidly get decent coffee in my person with little fuss and little cash.

lamill in l.a. makes a nice orange-infused cappuccino (i think they run some orange around the cup before pouring, and then top it with cocoa powder and orange zest at the finish).

Keurig is a step backward in office coffee making. Sad really. The best option my office has is the donut shop extra bold, which is palatable with milk and sugar but still pretty bad. It helps a little to only make 4 oz from one pod.

A drop of the meyer lemon/tangerine bitters I made last year floated on a hot coffee was astounding - I tried it because i witnessed a guy I work with twist a lemon peel over his espresso once.

I've been on this.

Keurig is better than burnt percolator coffee, but when I want more than one I've a lovely Chemex 6-cup vessel and a selection of dark roasts.

keurig waste appalls me and i am far from any sort of environmentalist.

our old office percolator made coffee that tasted like steeped batteries

the keurig was like angel tears in comparison

this sounds amazing

one thing i'd like to do at some point is get a batch of kerrygold butter to infuse with w33d and add an occasional dollop to make thc-infused bulletproof coffee

wow that sounds good. have you tried that in the past?

The coffee itself is fine. It's certainly better than the Green Mountain Breakfast Blend that's been sitting in a never-washed carafe for an hour or two, which is what we've got in my office.

*Blorp*

Coffee utensils should nn everber be washed imo xp

wow that sounds good. have you tried that in the past?

no, never. and apparently it's not an original idea!

my big Christmas gift this year was a Chemex carafe and goose-neck teapot to go with it. Been making some very good cups of coffee, but it is an incredibly slow process.

i aeropress every once in a while too. i use it whenever i just want a single cup, which is not very often (on weekdays i grab coffee near my work, and on weekends i generally make a big press pot because i'm an addict. but i'd highly recommend an aeropress to people who just want a single cup of coffee. the packaging of it suggests that it's a made-for-tv gimmick but it's actually very good!

why aren't you guys environmentalists
