Here we are sitting around the A&E tavern drinking beer, wine, tea or coffee
Question- what is your favorite type of coffee? I prefer specialty blends and I love going to a expresso place but now that I live in Hicksville forget that!! I still buy specialty coffee blends from Thomas Hamer from the internet. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |

I LOVE coffee, and caffeine in general. It produces a semi euphoric sensation in me, on top of keeping me stimulated, talkative and awake. Sadly, after over a year of intestinal illness I am no longer able to take in caffeine, as it too severely aggravates the bowel. So down a few on my behalf, gents. ------------- |

I have an unusual sweet tooth, so cider, botrytis and vodka mixers are always favourites. But if you need something sterner, wash down some steak with a good full red or mix a bourbon and coke.

I voted folgers. I love coffee, don't get me wrong, I'm just alittle more simple.
And with all due respect Constatine, es_bih, don't you dare mix that Bourbon with coke! Use the lesser Whiskeys for that, Bourbon is great on the rocks. And with that, I think I'll go have some!  ------------- "A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." E.Abbey

Colombian beans, freshly ground, and hand dripped. That last is probably the most important - there is no form of coffee, in my experience, more disgusting than one that's gone through a percolating machine. I'd rather have instant any day. There are some other ways of making coffee that are equally as good as hand-drip though ... some of the stove-top devices like Moka pots etc, they are alright too. I just won't drink anything from those electric coffee machines with the rubbery plastic piping inside. |

I bought some folgers breakfast blend and it is fairly good. I miss the coffee shops of the Pacific Northwest, very common there. This fade has not caught up in the southwest but it could be because of the cold winters up north. When I was in Istanbul I drank a lot of Turkish coffee and hot tea. I could not understand drinking hot tea in the summer anymore than the English could understand me drinking cold tea in the winter, common here. I was told drinking hot tea makes one sweat more which in turn cools you down. I love those dainty Turkish tea cups but I cannot find them in the USA. I remember joking with my former students by saying these dainty little tea cups are shaped like a women's figure- they laughed. I am afraid, today, in the USA I would get in trouble, by the PC police, for saying this. LOL I would never say this to my student here!! I have found a loal Southern Arizona coffee blend made in Sierra Vista I like so I will pick it up this week. For me it is sort of like drinking micro brew beer, I am supporting a local small buisness vs. a huge corporation. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |

Stay away because once you start it is hard to quit!! I did not start this bad habit till I was in my late twenties.  It is a drug!!------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |

Turkish Coffee, with a little sugar! Lots of my fellow countrymen seem to hate it though... ------------- |

I like my drip with Vanilla soy milk by silk brand and honey vs sugar. If I cannot get honey then I like raw sugar in it. I am out of folgars specialty coffee so I am stuck with instant coffee till I go buy some more. When I was in Istanbul I drank mostly instant coffee. Turkish/Greek coffee does not exist here, except at the Greek festival in Tucson once a year- 
Expresso coffee shops are not common here either like in the Pacific Northwest. Coffee shops were a good way to meet people in Spokane. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |

I'll drink "almost" any type of coffee that is put in front of me once. However, i have a tendency to prefer the simpler things. Just plain automatic drip Folgers or Maxwell House coffee brands has been my preference over the past five years, originally or classically roasted, but strongly brewed and with some sugar & chocolate milk added to it. Simple but tasty. ------------- |

Brandy in coffee is good with sugar, baileys in coffee is a nice sweet taste but quite sickening, and whiskey in coffee is naturally good! My favourite coffee to order would have to be a medium cappuccino with an extra shot of expresso, or if I just want the kick, plain black or an americano. ------------- |

Usually with milk or as espresso. I'd never ruin the coffee by putting Bourbon in it though

I remember my friend in Greece made me a concaction called a frappe that he claimed the Greeks invented. I will have to email him and ask how he made it but it was gooooood. It was a combo of ice and instant coffee but it has been 2.5 years since I was last in Greece. I do not like coffee out of any machine, yuck!! I prefer hot chocolate in that case. ------------- Λοιπόν, αδελφοί και οι συμπολίτες και οι στρατιώτες, να θυμάστε αυτό ώστε μνημόσυνο σας, φήμη και ελευθερία σας θα ε |
