Who else enjoys this great time of day? Great, along with my TAD & PAD, I now have CAD ;-)
Some of my recent add-ons for the AM cup-o-joe delight;
1-Beko Automatic Turkish Coffee Maker..just an outstanding lil machine
1-Chemex 8-Cup, some of the best coffee I have ever had is from this simple lil device...
The coffee I have been working with and have been having outstanding cups with the AM smoke;
~For the Beko ~ Mehmet Efendi Turkish Coffee
~For the Chemex ~ Arvid Nordquist Classic Coffee Extra Dark Roast

While I'm unemployed and have my mornings free for a short while, I'm enjoying a nice morning smoke with a nice cup of Joe. My dad brought up some delicious Costa Rican coffees, which are making a mighty fine complement to the morning tobacco.

Ooh, Turkish coffee. Where's that drooling smiley again? A well made cup of coffee can be as much a ritual as a pipe. Combine the two and heaven is just a little closer.

This has been a summertime treat for me. I'm not about to sit up on deck if it's windy and rainy, but now the the mornings are beginning to be warm again I love to have a smoke with a cup of strong coffee. I prefer a medium-dark roast like French roast or Colombian roast.
It's a great way to start the day.

I desperately try to avoid CAD. My favorite coffees tend are Costa Rica Tres Volcanes and dry processed Ethiopian Sidamo. I really enjoy the pour-over style of preparation and I find Chemex to be be a close second.

Nice gents.
I really hope I score a Hario Coffee Siphon Syphon TCA-5 EX Vacuum Pot 20 Ounce

for Father's Day...YouTube has good videos on the process...pretty

damn cool lil system. The kicked is you really should have a good

butane burner with this system and they cost almost the same amount

as entire system :-( I have a bunch of chemists in the family, need to

reach out and see if they can snag me a cool burner for it perhaps

The best way to start your day!
Nothing more enjoyable than a early morning cup of Caribou coffee Guatemala El Paraí­so with a bowl of Presbyterian Mixture on the deck before work time.
Everyone enjoy your week!

Since I have to smoke outside I enjoy several cups of Peet's Major Dickenson coffee made in a French press and a pipe full of McClelland's Mature Virginia No. 27.

The morning pipe and coffee is my favorite time of day. My favorite is Blue Mountain coffee, with a Virginia blend.

Since I am sensitive to caffeine, I drink either oolong or black (PGtips) tea in the morning with my first pipe of the day. No coffee for this one..... I guess the English in my genes has finally poked its head out :mrgreen:

Weekends I treat myself with my Ibrik and a nice slow bowl of some sort of VaPer.
Lately on weekdays it's diner coffee and a bowl of Peterson Irish Oak as I start my "tour" of the city.

For me, smoking my pipe in the AM on a warm summer morning with a cup of coffee, the paper and plain old quiet is absolute bliss. I relish these ever shortening (it seems) summer mornings. I'm not necessarily an early riser, but I'll get out of bed early when the weather is right just for that opportunity. While I can appreciate a good cup of quality coffee, some Folgers Dark Roast is all I need. I'm out on the patio now, shorts, no socks, smoking, listening to XM Radio hockey with my pipe, nearly as good as the AM.

Coffee, the pipe, and a newspaper have been part of my morning ritual since I retired almost 10 yrs. ago. Life is sweet.
Can't wait to get there myself cortezattic.....

Interesting comments on new coffee blends that of which I had not heard.
Have sampled lots of them - Several Marley blends (tend to be too "toasty" for me). Several Lavazza blends - Gran Filtro regular and dark roast, Costa Rican Tarrazzu, Dark Brazil Santos, several coffees from Kahladi Bros. up in Alaska...
So far, I like the Lavazza Crema e Aroma or their Gran Filtro bean coffee the best - ground between medium and fine and prepared in a French Press. The dark roasts are often more oily and stick in the burr grinder's plastic beaker, so I am leaning toward staying away from them. Have had coffee prepared in a Chemex long ago, but don't remember much about it, since I was not such a coffee sensualist at that time.

Since the weather in the Northeast has been so warm recently, I've started smoking early in the morning, with coffee. Wow! What a great match. One of the most peaceful pastimes at the most peaceful time of day. At that time, there is no wife, no kids...just me, the pipe, and the dog!

I'll admit that somehow....a hot drink just doesn't sound appetizing while drinking a pipe. But now y'all have me so intrigued.....and I have a brand new deck.....and tomorrow I have a day off.....may just have to try a pipe and coffee before the wife and baby are up and at 'em.
And, I have a pound of coffee from Nicaragua that someone just flew home with and gave to me....
