What do you add to your coffee? (1 Viewer)

[17seconds]

1 Splenda and 2% milk

 

[Chaos Commish]

What kind of beans do you "grind your own" guys recommend? Preferably available online. TIA

Before these last two coffee threads I was thinking about bumping an old one and sharing my online global coffee purchases and thoughts on different regions/products. Mock my nerdity, I don't care. I've had some gak sent to me, but mostly it's all good. It's fun. I like reading about the growers, regions, climates, processes, cultures, terroir. Eh, it's edumacation. I order through Amazon. I also have a source for free bags of Blue Bottle's Bella Donovan and Three Africans. I think both are fantastic. I've found few I like better in the two dozen or so I've tried.

I'm currently working on this stuff from Honduras. It's good, great price, high quality, nothing off-putting or noteworthy, just, rich smooth coffee taste.

I also have a little left of this stuff from Peru. I ordered a city roast (a little lighter). It's awesome. I'm blending it with the Honduran to make it last a little longer. RhoadesRoast, the supplier in that link, is an excellent source.

I like my coffee irish

Usually, I would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but Comfortably Numb springs this serious GOURMET #### on me! What flavor is this?

man, some of you are turning coffee into a high calorie, cavity inducing event.

if you sip your coffee and it's sugared up you're basically soaking your teeth in a liquid that's highly acidic, sugary, and has high staining properties.

When I consume my room temp coffee I pretty much plow it down in like 3-5 min to minimize the contact to my teeth, then rinse thoroughly with water.

I always figure for this and wine using whitening toothpaste daily counteracts it or greatly slows the staining process? I had my teeth whitened probably 7 years ago and they are still pretty white in pictures. I drink coffee every day. Not so much wine anymore but for years I was drinking it several nights a week.

Thanks! Grabbed a bag of the Honduras stuff.

this thread reminds me I need to use my french press more often. Takes a little more work but it's worth it.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Always black. My wife keeps "good" coffee around the house, but at work it's always Folgers via Black & Decker.

 

[Major]

I actually add protein powder to my coffee. Muscle Milk type products taste great with coffee and gets you swole.

 

[Keerock]

Heavy whipping cream and a packet of Splenda

I don't need you to tell me how ####### good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys ####. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the dead ###### in my garage.

Oh, Chaos, don't even worry about that

[sdp1226]

I like my sugar with coffee and cream.

 

[B Maverick]

I take my sugar with a little coffee. No milk/creamer/half n half or other flavors.

Is it really more work? It may take a bit longer, but I dont think it is any additional effort.

Regular Coffee Maker

1) Insert filter

2) Fill with grounds

3) Fill carafe with water

4) Fill maker with water from carafe

5) Hit start

6) Pour coffee into mug

French Press

1) Add grounds

2) Fill tea kettle with water

3) Turn on stove

4) Pour water into press

5) Wait a bit and depress plunger

6) Pour much better tasting coffee into mug

I've always wanted to be able to drink my coffee black. Just seems more manly, like a cowboy or something.

Also have always wanted to walk into a saloon at 10am, drop a nickle on the bar, grab a bottle of whiskey and slam a shot.

 

[Bucky86]

Almond milk or butter.

 

[James Daulton]

Almond milk or butter.

and WTF with putting butter in your coffee? I've never heard of such a thing.

I'd be able to help with this, but none of them are open this early 'round here.

Unsalted butter. You're supposed to blend it.

 

[pollardsvision]

Hazelnut creamer.

Unless it's made in a French press. Okay, sometimes then too.

 

[Jack White]

It truly is. I don't think I could ever go back to an automatic drip.

Google "bulletproof coffee."

You don't use regular supermarket butter. You use organic unsalted butter. It's delicious and really healthy.

 

[sho nuff]

Little milk or half and half. But using less and less lately.

 

[MAC_32]

I drink too much coffee to do anything but black.

 

[belljr]

Sometimes cream and sugar

sometimes just cream

sometimes just sugar

sometimes hazelnut creamer

sometimes chocolate caramel creamer

depends on my mood

SAE frowns on the results of this poll.

May try this tomorrow

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Voted black, if someone makes it too damned hot just a spot of milk to get it to cafe au lait.

 

[MC Gas Money]

Sometimes if I heat up sone coffee from the morning I put a couple werthers in it to melt and make a toffee coffee

 

[MC Gas Money]

You wont ever go back

 

[jamny]

Very dark, no sugar.

Black is ok but I like a drop of milk to take away some bitterness.

 

[NutterButter]

Baileys

 

[Christo]

I like it like my women--black and bitter.

 

[James Daulton]

[Nugget]

Little coconut oil and kerrygold, blended.

 

[sdp1226]

I prefer light and sweet.

 

[McGarnicle]

Double shot of the Bialetti, packet of Truvia, steamed milk.

 

[sbonomo]

hmmm, black as night, light and sweet or brown....I dig those latina's

 

[Jules Winnfield]

A nice quick shot of bourbon, especially if it is that rancid Starpukes or Carispew

 

[cstu]

I like my coffee, like I like my women......

Shipped in a sack from Columbia.

 

[cosjobs]

Heavy cream or black.

Maybe half and half on occasion.

F skim milk, milk and especially non dairy creamers.

No sweetening, I'm not a gd kid.

Edit to add: or i like coconut milk but it takes quite a bit of it to be tasty. So much that it makes the coffee too cold and i have to nuke it.

 

[Wrigley]

I like my coffee, like I like my women......

White, with a giant head?
