Coffee-fi

[meme]

I don't drink coffee very often, it's mostly milk tea or sometimes green tea.

But last time i was in Japan, i couldn't get enough of these --

Yummy!

Cafe Mocha recipe -- (The nearest i could find. One of many, no doubt)

Ingredients:
- Espresso coffee
- Bonchoco HCDB or Bonchoco powder mix
- Whole milk
- Whipped cream

Direction:
Steam the whole milk and the Bonchoco Powder or Bonchoco HCDB in a glass until they are mixed well. Then gradually pour the espresso coffee into the glass, and top with whipped cream and chocolate powder.

I just discovered the wonders of french press. I've always just used a drip coffee maker before and was satisfied, now I can't stand the stuff. As for coffee I get starbucks beans really really cheap so I just stick with that. I know there are far better alternatives but I'm satisfied

EDIT: For myself I'm home roast and Hario Nouveau Vacpot fan. Light roast. Very fine hand grinding. Haven't tried luwak yet

. Going through some Moka Harrar and Cuban coffee right now.

Fair trade beans, dark roast, moderately coarse (but then, with a blade grinder, I don't have much control), french press. I like espresso-sized cups; maybe I just miss drinking espresso, but I'd rather buy headphones than cafe coffee.

I prefer Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee. I roast it at lower temperatures until the beginning of City. I grind the coffee fairly coarse and swear by my vacuum brewer.

My favorite cup is an old Navy cup that I was given for speaking at the Naval Academy way back in 1979. It had gold trim at one time but that is long gone.

Can't beat a good cup of Rooibos Tea, Milk, One sugar. We need to start a tea-fi around here.

Man I really don't want to knowingly ingest something that went through the digestive tract of an animal. Gotta draw the line somewhere

I like Jamaican Blue Mountain, Kenyan AA, Sulawesi, and pure Kona, preferring any roast that doesn't raise oil. I freeze my beans until grinding in my burr mill grinder (coarse) and use a French press to brew/filter it.

I don't roast or grind my own beans but I do prefer to have my beans ground to a coarse grind. My coffee preference is 100% Pure Kona Coffee from fancy to peaberry. The other coffee that I do enjoy besides Kona would be Dole Plantation's 100% Pure Waialua Coffee. I don't currently own a french press so I brew my coffee thru a auto drip brewer. I also don't have a particular coffee cup I like use, as long as the cup isn't huge like a beer mug I'm fine.

You guys should really try some African coffee. I often get some of these.

10-20 bucks, 4 minutes, great coffee

Bodum makes the most recognized design, and I think they originally started with lab equipment, because that's what it looks like. Go for the 6-cup set with two blown glass cups and timer. Great set-up.

Yup, definitely will have to purchase a french press soon. Coffee would be much more enjoyable brewed through one. Yes, a french press glass carafe is essentially a chemistry beaker.

 

[no1likesme]

I NEED one of these

My favourite coffee? That would be a cap in a coffee bar somewhere in Florence, Siena or other town in Tuscany. In between those very rare occasions I have to survive on Illy or Lavazza brewed in a stove-top espresso maker by Bialetti.

Man! I don't know about the kopi luwak! The only thing would be to brew some at work and ask people if it tastes like $H..... but probably too expensive for that!!!!!

I like Kona, Jamaican Blue Mountain, but one of my favorites was a brand I bought in Bogota, Colombia called GMA. It was cheap! but boy, it was good and smooth! unfortunately my connection in colombia moved back to the states......
