Coffee

[MintnHoney]

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'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

I'll check them out!

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'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.

[SugarPuff]

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.
