How Do You Take Your Coffee?

[didimauw]

Let me start with saying I like black coffee. That being said, when I'm at home I like to have my French vanilla creamer. But if we are at a restaurant, I just drink it black. I don't want milk, or half and half bull crap. Either black, or my French vanilla.

During the week, at the office i usually drink one espresso, corto not ristreto, first thing when I get there. Should it be a difficult day perhaps another around noon. No milk, no sugar, During the weekends I enjoy Turkish style, brewed in a copper pot over fire. Again, no milk, no sugar.

I also enjoy Turkish coffee and have the small pot for the boiling ritual. This is usually saved for special occasions since I'm lazy when it some to certain things and drink a lot of coffee.

Came across this today. A coffee machine that is practically steam punk.

Cool.

 

[Demard]

Double espresso, black

More and more, I'm starting to like my coffee the same way Ed Corbin's character, "Uncle Ellis" in the movie, "No Country for Old Men," liked his. A several day old pot of black coffee -- room temp and surrounded by cats on the countertop. With cat hair or not--like they told me when we got our German Shepherds--"it's just protein." F#@$k the venties and ...lados and all that shit! Sorry to be subtle.

Little cream/milk/whatever preferred, but if not available I’ll live!
If at a coffee shop I’d order an americano over drip coffee

Haha yes he does well in that roll. Great movie too by the way. He’s also pretty charming as Roscoe Brown in “Lonesome Dove”

From my Cuban roots I drink a concentrated espresso-like coffee with a sugar crema. I can drink 4 or 5 shots a day. Gets me wired.

In the office I don’t drink any, just water. Working at home, we are hybrid, I drink 3-5 cups a day. Not particular how it’s made, prefer it strong. Used to drink it black no sugar until I learned that a protein in dairy bonds with tannins in coffee to reduce staining of teeth. Now I add a bit of milk, black coffee for the occasional treat.

Coffee black with artificial sweetener. pink, blue, or yellow makes no difference.

I like my coffee black and bitter, same preference for espresso

 

[Old_Newby]

I drink about 4 caffeinated cups before noon. One of these is with my morning pipe. Then maybe 1 decaffeinated after dinner. Green Mountain cups in a Keurig. Coffee Mate creamer although I can drink it black but prefer not. I do have to have 1/2 teaspoon or local honey.

 

[lupy1234]

Black...like my soul

 

[warren]

Free but, I'll pay when it's necessary, absolutely necessary. No Starbucks though, just too bitter on my palate.

 

[DesertDan]

Black.

"Pray not unto the false god of decaffeination nor tarry with those who adulterate the true brew, for they are wicked and shall be cast into the outer darkness, removed forever from my sight.
Thus sayeth The Lord."

He Brews 14:1

 

[macaroni]

With some rye and a dash of cream today

 

[jpberg]

Hot strong and black, just like my men.

I haven’t read one single reply in this thread - anybody say that yet?

Most recent study on coffee and the brain from Portugal :

Brain scans of coffee drinkers suggest there's more to feeling alert than just the caffeine

Coffee and caffeine can have different effects on brain activity, a new study suggests.

Black 50/50 caf/decaf, so my physician does not get too angry at me for the caffeine. And it has to be hot. I leave the room temperature drinks for bourbon and rye.
