Coffee

Is there anything better than a good cup of coffee? There are so many places which roast their own beans now!

My favorite has to be Kicking Horse Smart Ass Medium Roast. Tell me about the coffees you enjoy!

I don't like any coffee, no matter how you dress it up. So when I am going to drink it, black and down the hatch in one go.

I'm Aussie so I'm a born and bred coffee snob. That being said, I'm big fan of the YouTube channel The Lore Lodge, and I've recently got a bag of their Mt. Pocono Perk from Tablow Roasting Co. It's a really delicious blend - Honduras, Ethiopian, Colombian, and Indonesian. No, I'm not sponsored by The Lore Lodge. It's just a really nice coffee. :P

My coworkers turned me into a bit of a coffee snob. I refuse to do the Folgers, Maxwell House, pre-ground coffee anymore. Whole bean only, or I ain't having it!

Espresso, double espresso, triple espresso and so on

a good cappucinno or latte for chilling

Caramel latte when I’m feeling fancy. lol

Side note though, we totally need a drink coffee emote using that new Last Stand mug from Old Sharlayan! :D

I adoooooore coffee. Big fan. I drink it instant at home with milk. No sugar.

I will only drink coffee from Costa Rica these days. I don't mean to sound like a snob, but there's something different about the way Costa Rica processes their coffee that makes it *much* smoother and less acidic than any other kind of coffee, and it's the only kind that doesn't set off my acid reflux now that I'm older.

I'm mentioning it in the hopes that someone who may also have acid stomach problems and has either 1) given up coffee against their will or b) resigned themselves to suffer for it as a result might see this and give it a try! ^_^

I don't usually drink coffee, outside of the occasional specialty coffee drink, though I do like coffee-flavored desserts. For visitors, I usually keep a couple pounds of the Hawaiian Kona coffee from CoffeeAM. Everyone seems to like it a lot, and it goes nicely in my desserts, so I would recommend that if you don't mind spending more than usual.

I think that picture is larger than the actual can.

I've developed acid reflux too. Isn't getting older a hassle? Yuck! I'm 59 going on to 27. Never going to let my soul get old!

My gastro-ent doc would like me to give up coffee; but, it's the only vice I have left! My absolute favorite beans used to be tanzanian peaberry. But, they're a bit too much for my stomach nowadays.

So, I'll keep your little tip about Costa Rican coffee in mind. Have you tried Sumatra coffee? It's low acid too.

I don't drink coffee but I did get pretty addicted to Monster Energy for a while. After a certain event...I had to take a look and tell myself to actually stop drinking it.

I won't ask. That's your own business.

But, you are not the first person to say something like that to me.

One of them gave himself a heart attack after drinking 8 Monster Energies in less than an hour. They lived but it was a near thing.

Energy drinks, coffee, and colas aren't kool-aid. Too much caffeine can kill you no matter where it's coming from.

I'm from Sweden, we drink coffee like there is no tomorrow. I think we were one of the top-drinking coffee countries at some point but I dunno now.

I don't mind the occasional latte with an espresso shot but dem calories, so I usually just go for black coffee. Using a blend from a local brewery.

I am one of those that also does not touch the stuff. I tried it a couple of times, but no matter what type or how it was prepared, coffee is some of the most vile tasting stuff I have ever put to my lips. Alcohol is actually the same way; can't STAND the stuff in any form and I don't partake of it in any way. My life and bank account probably thanks me for that. ;-)

Soda is my vice, specifically, the Coke, Pepsi, or Dr Pepper Zero products. Yeah, I admit I drink WAY too much of that crap and yes, I am SURE it is not good for you just like the other stuff people drink too much of. But at least it does not get me fat or make me incoherent.

I also drink tea once in a blue moon. Don't really care for it very much, but I will drink it in social situations or for medicinal purposes. That though I tend to put a bit of sugar and cream in it if available.

I like coffee, but usually more for the caffiene. In a pinch I have taken to grinding the beans finely, putting them directly in the cup with boiling water and letting it steep. Then drinking while stirring so I get the grounds with the coffee. It's not too bad when it's fine, just a little gritty.

I am super basic, I mostly drink the dark roast green mountain coffee in my keurig. That and whatever random stuff gets brought in at work, that is really hit or miss though.

I'll drink any light roast but flavored Kona blends are probably my favorite. Without being extremely into it, I've noticed that if the box describes the coffee within as "bright" there's a good chance I'll enjoy it more than others. I'm also a fan of vanilla or caramel iced lattes. No mocha though! I like chocolate, just not with my coffee.

i've actually never drunk coffee in my life... i'm 30 xD

yes there is, its called Monster energy or blood pancakes either works way better than coffee

COFFEE!!!! that is all

Drink coffee, do stupid things faster.
Yep, that’s me !

I’m more of a hot chocolate person ;)

It's funny but I thought of the same scene when they told me their story!

On the serious side, they were lucky. This guy is one of the fittest people you'd hope to meet. He knew better; but, when you're young you think you're immortal.

Blood pancakes? What is that?

While I like to joke about needing the caffeine, the truth is I enjoy coffee. I've been drinking it since I've been 16 and really like the variety we have today compared to our limited selection in the 70s.

I'm the same way. The only coffee I dislike is Starbucks, believe it or not. It tastes like they burn their beans. It's not my thing. Too heavy. Too acidic.

Hot chocolate is awesome! With connoisseur chocolate being a huge thing now, I expect hot chocolate to develop into different varieties just like coffee has.

You know what? I think I'll poke around a bit to find diabetic safe stuff.

I'm sorry to read that. Coffee can have a strong effect on your GI tract. I think how strong of an effect depends on your genetics.

Thanks Chloe! The recipe looks interesting and I find the idea of using a skull cutter for them hilarious! I think I'll use that idea for Samhain. :D

The older you get, the more it becomes an acquired taste, or so I've heard!

I'll have a latte macchiato. I only drink it twice a day but when I do it needs to be perfect. It's a ritual at this point. lol Freshly ground beans are a must. Not that Starbucks waste with weird flavours.

I am a big fan of Cafe Du Monde, it's strong and has a pleasant flavor. Of course I am also very basic so I put a splash of Hazelnut creamer in it.

Once I got a cold brew coffee kit for Christmas I never looked back, that stuff is delicious (doubly so with light brew ground beans) on hot days with a splash of milk in it! Though I drink around 2 cups of coffee and down 2-3 5 hours a day so I might prefer quantity over quality, lol.

so the TL;DR is I drank about 17 of those twist top Monsters in 4 days. I pissed green-ish.

So for about 2 years there was a a guy in my unit wanted me to play WoW with him once he found out that I loved to PvP and I also was good at healing. He wanted to duo arena and he was a Hunter. A four day weekend was coming up for Memorial Day so I caved in and bought the game and a level boost and installed the night before Final Formation. So after Final Formation he stops by my room and drops me off a 10 pack of Monster Energy. We play and do arena and end up drinking all the drinks and get another pack for each of us.

So now it's Tuesday and we are kinda wrecked. Well it's common that after an extended weekend they do random drug screening. I happened to be one of the ones picked. So I pee in that cup and my Sgt looks at it and real quick he is like "WTF is this El'Doran? Should I be worried? What did you do? Are you gonna pop hot?" I tell him I'm good and it was just the Monster. He calms down and after PT he pulls me aside and tells me I look like crap so after ending PT formation just to go back to my room and get sleep. oh and to drink a ton of water. Like a lot of water. Like...drown myself on land amount of water.

Holy crow, Renalt. Your urine was green? That's crazy!

Yeah the whole situation is nuts but it's a funny story. Amazingly my health is tip top shape. I don't plan to tempt fate and do it again though.
