Title: The Great Coffee Debate
Post by: vyper on February 03, 2005, 02:15:17 pm
So which do you take? I try my best to get proper coffee.

Ground from beans. On that note of course, I'd drink Blue Mountain coffee by choice.

Failing that of course, I do drink tea.

I picked instant, it's quicker and doesn't taste like stewed Garden by the 4th cup ;)

Cappucino is my favorite, I love the smell of fresh coffee, not so much the taste

Yeah just to clarify, I owe any exam passes I earned this year to a double espresso that nearly burned the roof of my mouth off.

Tea.  My dad works for Nambarrie, after all.........

following that, Mocha, then instant coffee (black no sugar, proper strong stuff - i.e. none of that watery 'Americano' ****e)

I used to work in a Italian Delicatessan, and the expressos they made were incredible, not meaning to stereotype, but I literally carried about 200 boxes of pasta upstairs on the power of a single Expresso ;)

I prefer tea. I tasted coffee years ago, and have since never touched it again :D No reason really, I've just never thought about drinking coffee, that's all.

I like how Hazelnut cofee smells, but I dispise coffee. I like Tea, however. And Hot cocoa. :nod:

Same with me, I generally like the way coffee smells, but the taste..
Makes me think of my old sweaty socks (not that I've ever tasted those..:nervous: )

Sure real coffee is good, but the convenience factor of instant wins it for me.  I'd drink real stuff if I had more time/money/effort, but I usually only frink coffee at breakfast, and I don't really care what it is.

Post by: Nico on February 03, 2005, 04:23:51 pm
I drink instant coz I don't have the time to do some real coffee before going to uni, but I prefer the "real" one.

Irish coffee is best.

Which brings up a question... how do they get the alcohol in Irish Oatmeal?

Soak it.

well, that's because of the alcohol in it.

well, I have a perculator. I lieks it. I don't drink coffee that often tho. I'm an alcohol drinker.
Title: The Great Coffee Debate
Post by: vyper on February 03, 2005, 04:49:21 pm
I used to have a perculator until one morning (back in high school) I walked into the kitchen, pressed the on button and it fired itself across the room.

That was a bad day.

I don't drink coffee, I never developed a taste for it.  And it's not like I have never tasted it, I tried some when I was 10 or 12 and nearly gagged.

Starbucks = Evil. Evil nasty terrible yucky garbage.
I've always liked nescafe bean coffee.  Gevalia's good, but is a pain in the ass to get, and it's mail-order, meaning they'll do the automatic shipment thing similar to Columbia House music club.    \

As a slight aside, has anyone tried one of those "instant" coffees that are self heating... that is, they're shaped rather like a pot noodle and (when you press the button on the top) it releases a chemical reaction that rapidly heats the drink inside to boiling point. Bang, instant coffee.

They're actually not bad.. but damn strong.

Yep, I pick them up in Glasgow Central sometimes, when I'm waiting for the train to the airport, not bad at all :)

I'm an American with British tastes when it comes to hot beverages. I'll take a good tea anytime. Coffee? Pshhh....

I actually prefer various fresh juices that I make at home. :p Barring that, I'd go for tea - my friend SilveN has been trying to convert me onto properly brewed coffee, though. ;)

Coffee is the devil! *hack* *spit* :ick:  And all those other terms of disgust.

I'll go for a good hot cocoa any day. But tea with honey... :)

Italian coffee with a side of Amendoa Amarga* for me, thanks.


*It´s a spirit drink, made of bitter almonds, with 45º proof. Don´t know how you call it in english. Don´t know if you even have it...

Coke is my fuel - at least 6 cans a day, and maybe one cup of instant coffee - tea = nasty... :ha:

Espresso. That stuff is fantastic. Never had one outside Italy  that got even close to the good stuff.

If I can't get any proper espresso, then I'll go for normal coffee, the strongest I can make it.

Water and fruit juice all the way for me. :nod: I don't drink tea, I don't drink fizzy stuff (6 cans of coke a day??? :eek: I can't imagine how f*cked your insides must be), and I only drink coffee a few times a year (I occasionally fancy it, for some reason). Then I'll have the stuff my dad makes (no idea what it is, but he makes it in a kind of jug with a sort of sieve plunger thingy inside).
