Coffee

I brew a pot every two days at least. and I'm talking a big pot. I can drink coffee at midnight no problem. I'm wired that way. I can report that after years of trying, almond milk does not go with it. I'm solidly a half and half guy now. I like to drink coffee out of a wine glass.

I’m making a shift to 1 reg coff and anything subsequent to be decaf. For the quitters, why not just switch to decaf (honest question)?

Ah, physiologically the worst of it was over in 36 hours and I didn't get a headache. I thought maybe my body would reactivate some natural process that caffeine takes over, but not really, it's like you're 5% asleep and can't knock it off. So I can report there is indeed a point to drinking coffee, thank you for attending my TED talk.

it’s kind of hilarious and wonderful how non-addictive coffee is. we just drink it every day because it’s good. not sure it should even quality as a drug

Today I tipped $3 on my IOM, I think that is the right amount

i would go broke!

I was just in Mexico and I found myself only drinking like 1/2 cup per day (down from 2-3) because it was hot and I didn't have great coffee. Felt fine.

That said, I got mildly irate when the airport's only coffee option appeared to be a Starbucks, and on top of that the line was really long. Eventually I walked around and found a little bar that had an espresso machine and no line though.

it's gotten very difficult to buy just about the only coffee I like now (Boyd's Red Wagon blend) for some reason so now I have to have it shipped to me from the maker in big boxes, which led to me confronting the fact that I spend $40 a week on coffee (this is coffee at home, not coffee out) but given that that's for 3 people who drink multiple cups a morning I suppose that isn't that bad. I never buy coffee out anymore unless I'm at a restaurant.

not really coffe but Koffe Kup donuts were my love, then they went ou t of business. what kind of &*^%^%$ is that

Initial rating of IAM slightly lower than IOM

Taro latte anyone?

its what taro milk i dont think ive had taro milk or if thats a thing i like taro tho ive had taro bubble tea i think thats just got taro flavor in it, prob not as good as regular coffee but id try it maybe nice for a treat

I misheard "the ideal copy" as "the ideal coffee" on Wire's "Ambitious" which is answered in the song with phrases like "H2O." Not that Wire would've sold out, but that could've been the basis for an awesome coffee commercial in the '80s.

which terrible prepackaged coffee brand of the 80s would it be for, is the question

i want a stovetop percolator now :\

My parents had a glass percolator, and in addition to the problems mentioned in the video, they would sometimes start a pot and forget to watch it, so it perked for 5-10 or even more minutes after it was done.

Such 60s/70s nostalgia on the glass and steel stovetop percs, before my time but would like to try

I think my mom used her steel stovetop perc well into the 90s. My grandparents definitely did; they died knowing no other coffee prep.

it's after noon, time to switch from coffee to fake coffee.

i drank an afternoon coffee today, as a treat

fancy

thats right

There's unfinished coffee in the cafetiere in front of me, it's 8.30pm, do I microwave and consume n.b. am also on the beers
