So it is all about the oils that boils?

 

I've never understood coffee culture. That stuff tastes like rotgut!

Coffee is the black nectar of the Gods

It’s an acquired distaste.

Yeah, we do live in coffee country. Deb loves coffee.

My dad said beer was an acquired taste. He said he acquired the taste for cheap beer.

I'm enjoying my morning ritual of checking out WTW and reading this thread about coffee... as I enjoy my morning Diet Coke.

 

Excuse me as I head for the bomb shelter.

 

 

Blasphemy   

I see your point but I think blasphemy is a bit strong to use here. It would be blasphemy if Ted was roasting fresh picked coca leaves, hand grinding the leaves, and processing his own artificial sweeteners to make his own Diet Coke each morning.

Nope, it’s blasphemy!  Ted is a great guy, but I’m afraid he’s gunna be sentenced two weeks in the electric chair.

But, but, but... aren't you living in ground zero of the coffee culture?

 

 

ODE TO COFFEE

01/14/2016 -- sinahodge

 

O sweet coffee,

I adore thee,

Providing energy for tough days,

I hope the day never comes when we have to part ways.

 

Without you I’d be useless,

Lethargic and sedated,

I can’t imagine living life if I weren’t caffeinated.

 

I drink you while I’m driving,

I drink you while I’m dining.

Warmer than the Caribbean,

And the great Cape,

When I’m with you,

It feels like an escape.

 

Sweeter than the fresh wind coming from the west,

From all the drinks known to man,

I love you the best.

O sweet coffee,

I adore thee,

Providing energy for tough days.

 

Yep that about sums it up.Thanks.

Here I sit in a hotel room in Tokyo reading this post. I had no clue there was so much about coffee! Selection, roasting, grinding, water, brewing,temperature, etc.

You have gone above and beyond for your coffee enjoyment. I tip my hat and enjoyed learning a bit about coffee.

I have no use or a desire to drink coffee, BUT I really enjoy the smell of coffee. So if I'm wandering with you, your coffee is safe, just the aroma will be sucked off.

Enjoy your time in the land of tea. We do love a nice tea. both taste and aroma, as well as coffee. If we do encounter you in the back of beyond we can introduce you to the delightful smell of the beans, then the ground beans and finally the extract we love so well, the actual coffee drink! Perhaps we could talk you into one little sip?

Ugh, tea and coffee. Let's get back to Jiffy Pop!!

Thanks, always enjoy the aroma. This past year brought back coffee from Guatemala and Colombian for the neighbors. Boy did my luggage smell good.

Not much for drinking tea, but will if only drink available. Just did a walk for excizise through a train system station, a group was passing out free samples of a drink, thought it was like Gatorade but a engery drink with 150 MG of caffeine. Not sure I want to drink it as my body has not seen that much caffeine at one time in decades. I think 12 Oz coffee has around 140mg, can of coke around 40mg.
