Over here a 2lb bag of prime beans runs about $10usd, have been trying Kenyan beans latley, rich and almost spiced tasting, I highly recomend trying it out.

Anyone out there tried to make Turkish coffee ? with the little boiler etc ?

I was about 14 or 15 and Tom was 2 years older.

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!

 Thats what I thought of coffee until a friend made me a real cup one morning ... Sure am glad she had the knowledge of what real coffee was to taste like .  ;)

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.

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?.

Nothing like a good cup of coffee shared with good friends.

Yep, as long as they remember to wipe the cup after they've had their sip  .
