Coffee...what do you like?

[mjs1973]

This reminds me of stories from construction guys cooking lunch on the equipment's engine or cooking a whole salmon in a dishwasher (no soap, please).

I just heard something about cooking salmon in the dishwasher a couple days ago, but I don't remember where. Public radio I'm guessing. Some friends tried to heat up some left over pizza on the muffler of a snowmobile. It didn't work so good.

Hey, that sounded mean

I meant it in the nicest mean way possible. :P

I love Starbucks Sumatra one.

I will also drink millstone vanilla flavored coffee.

My favorite drink though is Starbucks caramel white chocolate mocha with caramel drizzle on top too. MMMMMMMM... makes my day whenever I get one

Is this a fish story? Seriously! I can't imagine using a dishwasher to wash dishes after cooking a salmon!

BTW, my second favorite drink is a Starbucks Sugar-free Carmel Latte' with Whole Milk.

My very favorite is the Starbucks (not sugar-free) Carmel Latte' with Carmel topping and whipped cream. But sugar is definitely not on my diet for medical reasons........but sometimes I treat myself!

I don't like cofee. I like tea very much

When I was working on night shift, Starbucks' bitter coffee save me.

@ Jimmy, sorry to hear about your friend, he looks so cheerful.

@another view, that was nice facts, me and my friends gonna out this weekend, it's rainy here in our place so I'm gonna check out cup bubbles and show it to my friends.

I must have been British in another life. I drink tea. Like shutterman, I love the smell of coffee, but the taste? ugh

OK OK I believe you! Yikes! I'll take the coward's way out - being afraid a hole might evolve in the wrapping. :idea:

Thanks! That was very interesting.

Hmmm. I am a huge coffee lover. I only drink mine black, no sugar. I do not like most Deli coffees as they are usually stale and burnt. I do not care for Mcdonalds or Burger king coffees.(too hot and weird tasting) Starbucks is fine albeit a little too bitter. I really love what I drink at home. Italian Roast from Fairway. Sometimes I will grind my beans myself or have them grind for me. Brewed strong every morning. I have tried other blends as well as French Roast, Columbian, Kona, and various mixed blends, but the Italian Roast is the best I have tasted.
btw, I have British blood in me. . . and I hate Tea. Will only drink it on the rare occasion that I am sick.

I first saw the Salmon in the Dishwasher technique on an old TV series called The Surreal Gourmet. I think he wrapped it in foil, but I remember that he put it on the top rack and made sure there wasn't any rinse agent (Jet Dry) in it. Then just run a regular cycle and it's done! I suppose it would be smart to run a quick cycle empty with soap to clean it before using it again! Have not tried it myself.

I like my coffee like I like my women: hot and black...

Ok, actually it's sweet & creamy...

[adina]

I thought it was old and bitter?

[Didache]

I remember the salmon in the dishwasher thing well .. the cook in question was Vincent Price who, as well as being a horror star, was a very creative gourmet cook in his own right.

No, that's me. Opposites attract...

Marquis De Piava dark roast from Sams Club and I mix 50/50 with Starbucks Verona (decaf) since I have to cut down on my caffeine intake. I prefer to used bottled water but we run out of water so fast around here it's not funny. I guess that's a good thing though.

I grind the Piava myself with a mill. I'd love to roast my own sometime and try it out.

I make 6 cups and don't always drink all of it. It's probably still too much caffeine for me, but I'm not having the side effects (major vertigo) like I was last year when I was drinking up to 6 4oz espressos during the day. I think I had caffeine poisoning.

I'm with you Steve, I like my coffee the same way! Hot, White and SWEET!
My beer, I like dark and warm though! Can you say Guinness!

Ah, great minds think alike. What did I have to drink last year when we all went out to lunch in Chicago? Guinness on tap!

And yes, they served it too cold for my taste. Still good, though...

I found here in the US, most places don't know how to serve a stout, unless you ask they'll always serve it in a chilled glass.
I was in Germany once, and the majority of the beer I drank was Guinness, in a Irish pub, "Thirsty Nellies".
Such memories!

I don't remember the coffee at all though...Not that, that says anything about coffee in Germany.

We have some white chocolate mocha hot chocolate, it's almost as good as coffee.

and Steve....if you were coming to Milwaukee, we know how to serve Guiness....




ps...I will be down Friday for dinner. With my charming sil.

Sorry, but I don't drink drinks with names of more than two words. You know, like hot coffee, draft beer, vodka cranberry, iced tea, etc...

and Steve....if you were coming to Milwaukee, we know how to serve Guiness....

Sounds good, but part of me feels that's a bit blasphemous. Going to a town like Milwaukee and drinking imported beer... :nonod:

Hmmm...charming??? That's guyspeak for she's not really that attractive...

You know, it does say "serve chilled" on the guinness box. I can totally understand why it would be served chilled.

I know, I know, a lot of people prefer it just warmer than chilled - but too many places serve wine too hot or cold too. I think the subtlety of beverage temperature is just beginning to get the attention it needs in the mainstream. What can I say - I guess we've all been drinking ice-cold miller for too long :frown2:

How did this thread turn to beer? I like mine room temp unless its really hot outside.

Has anyone heard of Farmer's blend coffee? or if any stores carry it?
Stuck in a town yesterday and so went to a cafe for lunch...best coffee I've had in ages and so asked what kind it is....Farmer's blend...I've looked it up on web and it seems to be a product of a co-operative effort and could order it but would rather find in a store first.

Organic Sumatra from Alterra. Nothing else shall pass thru these doors.

That's the one I'm sticking with. I thought I'd be able to experiment a bit, but man, does it screw with your day when the coffee is bad.

I get Dunkin iced at home, espresso out. But now I bought a super nice espresso machine I would also probably going to buy one of these brands https://www.perfectbrew.com/reviews/...brands-review/ to make it at home some times.

For the first morning coffee I find espresso can be a bit rough on my stomach and I prefer to pour over or Dunkin iced.
