Ovaltine In Coffee

[krizzose]

I’ve never been a regular coffee drinker, and I doubt I could tell the difference between Folgers and something high end. But I like coffee as a natural caffeine source if I need a bump. On a suggestion from a friend I added some Ovaltine mixed with some half and half to a cup of coffee, and it was pretty damned good.

I await the ridicule of coffee fanatics

I can’t judge. I like the instant coffee that comes in old mres.

Like with tobacco, I can be a coffee snob, but also can endure the available offerings as necessary.

At home, I grind my beans and use a press but on the road I've had "gas station mocha" on many occasions.

I hold the button on the hot chocolate machine for 3 seconds, then top it off with whichever drip pot smells the least like drain cleaner.

And let's not even mention the army days....

Black

Iced black with black coffee ice cubes.

Black with rum.

You don’t roast your own beans? Hmmmmpffth


?

 

[Swiss Army Knife]

I like black coffee, I like high end coffee, I've spent too much money on coffee and gear.

I also really like Ovaltine Malt and I've never thought to mix the two.. I'm going to try that later because it sounds really good. Thanks for the idea!

Stok is a small espresso shot in a coffee creamer cup (and free at 7-11). Suprisingly, it makes tepid coffee decent while adding a caffeine kick.

I keep a few on hand for an extra pick me up or to take to a greasy spoon.

Nor do I pluck them from the feces of a wildcat...

The Good and Bad Things to Know About Civet Poop Coffee

INSH | Any discussion on Kopi Luwak, widely known as some of the most expensive coffee in the world, must start by getting one thing out of the way…Yes! We are talking about coffee beans—that come out of the butt of the Asian palm civet.

After Navy coffee on the mid-watch at sea, chicory and rust, most coffee tastes pretty good to me. I like weak diner coffee, Starbucks burnt roast, McDonald's which is way better than you'd expect, and even decaf which I am impelled to drink for various health reasons. So Ovaltine in coffee? It sounds like a nice change of pace to me. If I could drink the coffee I like best, I'd be a major coffee snob, but not under my circumstances. My wife is a purist, dark roasts in a French press almost exclusively, but she is understanding about my predicament. I do insist on making my coffee at home in a stove-top percolator, the only way. I do love cats, but not cats digesting my coffee beans.

Every now and then I’ll stir a spoonful of the kids’ Swiss Miss in a cup. Nice little treat.

 

[Steddy]

No ridicule here, if you like it it’s good. I’ll take my coffee any way I can get it.
Love it black.
Love it with Sambuca.

Espresso at work. Just get in me and get to work, no time for dilly dallying.
Like a cheap prostitute.

I don’t like that goofy shite, coffee with butter.

 

[--dante--]

I'm just surprised to learn Ovaltine still exists. I guess Tang must still be around too then?

 

[ChonkyTonks]

Tang is still around. Still good, too. When I was younger, my dad's bestie drank beer and ovaltine to cure his massive hangovers.

 

[STP]

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine…

Ever try Metamucil?

 

[hawky454]

Sounds pretty good actually. I loved me some Ovaltine as a kid. I’m not a coffee purist by any stretch of the imagination, do enjoy a cup with a pipe but I always add cream and sugar. Never been a fan of it black, although, I always hear that real men drink it black, funny that real men need to claim such things.

 

[mso489]

I like milk in my coffee. Black is too acidic, cream is too thick, and I don't take sugar in coffee or tea. Artificial sweeteners are unpleasant in anything, to me. Diet sodas taste the way hand sanitizers smell, to me.

 

[sablebrush52]

It IS pretty damned good!
