I started drinking coffee in Hondorus, about 23 yrs. ago.It was coffee or warm coke. We were building houses after a hurricane. The only electric was our genarater. One of the women in the village cooked for us, ( ate some things that was different and some that we didn't know.)The coffee down there was better tasting than up here.(like a fresh apple from the tree).Now I drink from 3 to8 cups a day. Usually 1 before bed. Btw, macdonoldshas a senior coffee (over 55 years old) for .27 - .31. so I hit that up on the way home from work.

I reside in the land of great coffee. I find myself looking forward to bed time so I can get up and have a cup- or three.

I like coffee to. Started drinking it at my parents house. Never had drank any expresso, cappucino or freshly ground bean coffee until I moved to Morgantown WV and began my college education at WVU several years ago. Now I really like the freshly ground bean coffee but I usually buy the already ground folgers or maxwell house because of the price. A cup of coffee in the morning kind of wakes me up, but so does a 2 mile run in 14 minutes. I like both of them.

I truley enjoy a good cup of coffee, brewed real dark & strong! My favorite at the moment is Millstone's Cafe Midnight. I buy the whole beans and store them in the freezer; then every morning I grind up a batch and enjoy a few cups while I visit my friends at the forum.  :)

Csssssssshhh POP!! The sound of a new 1 kg (2.2 lbs) can of Maxwell House being opened. Ya gotta admit its a pretty cheap beverage when you prepare your own from the can ($4.95). Go the Tim Horton route and you pay $550 for the equivalent in brewed coffee. I'ts not that hard to fill the stainless steel purcolator. Of course Patty's fresh ground beans would be nicer. Its nice and dry indoors today, we got some of FD's and Tom's rain today. :)

OK!   I got a coffee story.

A few (?) years ago, the South American Coffee growers heard from the Meteorologist that there was going to be a bad year.  Like the oil companies will do, they began anticipating the raising of the price of coffee "just in case".  

My wife heard about it and, because I like coffee so much, bought two cases of coffee for me.  I came home  to find twenty-four 2.7 lb cans of Maxwell house Master Blend stacked up on the floor.  (That's funny too.  We used to call them 3 lb cans)  The price didn't go up. :-/

I was a little bit in shock, but, she was so proud, I couldn't say anything.

It took years to drink it but I finally opened the last can.  When I did, I proudly announced that I was running short on coffee.  (Heck, I was joking) :D

That Friday I came home to find twelve cans stacked in the kitchen.  She was sitting there with a Cheshire Cat grin on her face.

I opened the last of that a couple of weeks ago and haven't said a word.  Not even a hint.  I'm afraid to. :D    Today I looked in the cupboard and there is a single can of Maxwell House Original.  She's just been to the store and bought me a can of coffee.   I ain't sayin' nuthin'. :D

Tom:

That sounds just like grandmother. She kept a closet full of King Cole tea as if they weren't going to make anymore.  She'd do the same with Bounty paper towels and keep a trunk full in the attic. I usually keep two 1 kg cans of Maxwell house around the house, most times it gets given to me by my folks. The price has never gone up in 10 years. :D

Hey that reminds me, we used to get porceline figurines in Red Rose tea up untill the mid 70's, some of them figurines are worth over $100 now. Recently they discontinued the orange peko of Red Rose and turned alot of folks off it. Personally, we always used King Cole, but they were both manufactured here in N.B. All gobbled up by Montreal big business now.

All the talk about coffee lately has caused me to fire up a pot and prompted me to start a topic ............. Well look a here, Tom has already started it! Harold, I sure have been thinking about Costa Rican coffee lately. ::)

Best cup of java I've ever had was the time Tom and I were out hunting.  I was about 14 or 15 and Tom was 2 years older. We both went back to the hunting cabin about 1:00 p.m. for a rest.  Tom dumped a one pound can of Maxwell House coffee into a pot of water and boiled it. Then we poured it into our cups through a tea strainer.  It was strong but I remember it as the best cup of coffee I've ever had. 8)

Nope Radar, I never have poured coffee grounds into my mouth. I'm not sure I'd like that. ::)

Jeff, it was strong but not that strong!  I could only stand one spoon up in it. ;D  It's a good memory though.

I am on a new coffee kick right now. I buy the beans from a place down south, called St Ives Coffee. Yummmm! They have beans from all over the world, and they roast them themselves. They are the nicest folks to talk to when I order.

Looks like this one thing northerners and southerners can agree on :D I can smell Patty's fresh ground beans from here. I have cut back but it used to be a basic food group. I still want a good cup or two of Columbian in the morning though. No fixin's, just as it comes from the pot.

Best coffee in the world.... Buy direct from Costa Rica.

http://www.tesdelsol.com/

I know Janet personally. She takes the green beans, roast them and them ships them.

The entire post office will hate you when they deliver it...

Costa Rican coffee is very similar to Columbian, but is often consider milder. This is Organic Shade grown, very rich, non-bitter incredibly smooth.

It will ruin you for life...

So, how did I end up here anyway?

On Modern Marvels tonight on the History Channel:

Coffee.
Airs on Wednesday, November 16 at 8:00pm ET

Traces the origins of this tasty drink from Ethiopia over 1,000 years ago to the espresso-fueled explosion of specialty coffee stores like Starbucks today. Along the way, we'll see how American companies like Hills Brothers, Maxwell House, Folgers, and MJB grew to be giants. Discover how billions of coffee beans make their journey from coffee farms and plantations, and are processed in gigantic roasting and packaging plants before showing up in coffee cups all over the world. Details the invention and production of instant coffee, decaffeinated coffee, freeze-dried coffee, and the espresso machine. Also, we explain how coffee made shift work in factories possible, while coffeehouses provided a creative cauldron that brewed political and artistic progress in the 18th and 19th centuries. And, we also provide tips on how to make a better cup at home!

Did you know that you have a coffee roaster at home? Most likely you do. A air pop popper for popcorn works really, really well.

You have not lived until you roast your own.  But, beware the chaff that comes out or your spouse may kill you....

I grind fresh every morning......Bucamaranga Columbia Supremo.  Keep it in the freezer.  Little electric grinder and the smell off the grinder is the first jolt.

I will admit I know no bounds when it comes to coffee. I have a Kitchen Aid burr grinder and a expresso machine which gets a serious workout.

I will drink any coffee - but I prefer the good stuff - which here costs me about $3.40 USD a lb.

Oh, and I moved to Costa Rica to be near my supply...

So, how did I end up here anyway?

Da meesus an a Doctor said I had to cut down on my coffee after I had some health problems last few years........   :'(

One first thing ina mornin, which I keep toppin up till noon.......

So give us an update Charlie...now that you all are both older than 14 or 15, how much older is Tom than you now?   ;)   ;D


I hate coffee, and it bums me out, since so many people seem to derive so much pleasure from it.  I feel robbed!  Same goes for olives...no thank you!

I like my coffee with a lot of black in it! 8)

Most people think Expresso coffee has more caffine than American drip or percolated coffee, but it ain't so.  I read that the water is forced through the finally ground coffee very fast when making Expresso and it doesn't pick up as much caffine.  When making American coffee, the water slowly passes through the coffee, which gives it more time to soak out the caffine.

Soaks up the bitterness too.

My wife would not touch coffee until we got the expresso machine - now she has one every morning. Or perhaps I should say it is a chocolate with milk and cream and one shot of expresso...

Too sweet for me -

Coffee = Liquid Ambition, roll out of bed not wanting to do much, have a couple of cups and the whole world seems to be just waiting for me to do something.

So, how did I end up here anyway?

i have a buddy with some sort of old coffee grinder, grinds by hand it does. makes the beans into talcum powder consistincey. when he makes the coffee you just stir it up and drink it all no grounds to speak of. really good cup of coffee. black only for me.

Two large cups every morning, real strong, but I cheat with sugar & milk  ;).  Fresh ground on weekends & holidays, on weekdays Folgers Gourmet Blend?Roast? preferred, but 100% Columbian works.

Found out last week that Kroger Dark Roast is no where close to Folgers Gourmet Blend?Roast?.
