Coffee

Oh man...I haven't had a perc'd cup since my grandma died. I love it!

Really? Most people find it way too bitter.

Grind your own beans (add a coffee grinder to your shopping list). I highly recommend a timer. Nothing better than waking up in the morning and having the coffee already brewed (smells wonderful... wake up and smell the coffee). Just stagger into the kitchen and sip.

Try to drink it black. No cream or sugar. It's the only way to appreciate those wonderful beans you just bought. Plus, the lack of sugar will help you to appreciate all those wonderful new wines you'll be buying.

I like coffee a bit bitter and NO MILK OR SUGAR (except occasionally as some kind of after dinner frou-frou drink).

I also love all manner of middle eastern mud-thick coffees too.

You can find that lovely sweet tea you're dreaming of in middle eastern restaurants here, Stak. I'm sure you could probably dig up some local person in your area whose family makes it that way and can teach you whatever it is you're missing. Also sweet Russian tea out of a samovar can be very good.

Thanks everyone! I bought a cheap one at WalMart and then some beans that I ground at the store. I'm trying my first cup at this very moment. Sorry Quas, I already put sugar in it before I saw your post. I'll try without next time.

my wife seemed a little distressed that I bought this because of the sinful nature of it all. :)

I guess this is one of those things that is just, well, very UN-Mormon.

Hey Zee,

I love my coffee maker so much I married her!

Peace,

LOL, Ceeboo.

So this cup tasted pretty good. I drink coffee at trade shows, which are catered by the hotel. I think this cup I just had tasted better than that stuff.

One of the best things I did the first time I went to NYC was stop and have an espresso in Little Italy.

I imagined myself a pioneer crossing the plains when I drank that cup.

I am serious, Zee.

If you thik your first cup was good, try this:

Go sit in your chair, take your shoes/socks off, yell out "Mr. Zee needs a coffee". I promise you it will be delicious (great for cleaning out the colon too)

After you test this method, let me know what you think.

Peace,
Ceeboo

It took us years to stop hiding the coffee machine when the Mormon family came over.
