General coffee thread

:(

Just finished last of a pack of Sumatran Mandheling

Don't know when I'm going to be able to get my hands on some of the good stuff again.


/me prepares for withdrawal symptoms to set in within the hour

Not to be confused with the Starbucks thread :)

1. Feel free to state your consumption
Mine is about 4 cups a day. A few years back, I was on approx 10 a day. I was going through some very bad emotional times and it was my little security blanket. Woe the person who stood between me and my coffee!

2. I was wondering - without feeling the need to Google it - why some people are so affected by the caffeine in coffee and others not?
I have friends who will have their last cup at about 18:00, because otherwise they will be up all night and won't be able to sleep. To this day, I can have a cup, climb in bed immediately afterwards and fall asleep. It does NOTHING to me.

3. Do you drink it black, white and how many sugars?
Me = 1 and 1/2 sugars and milk.

Coffee smells better than it tastes to be honest. After a cup of coffee i feel the the jitters. Don't know why.... :confused:
 
There's nothing like good coffee. Most of the time I drink Masterton's Blue Mountain with milk and a bit of sugar. The busier I am the more coffee I drink, I often have the equivalent of about 8 cups a day, doesn't keep me awake though. I'm not addicted yet, can go days without having any sometimes. Instant coffee is just :sick:

I wish their blue mountain blend was actually from Jamaica because that is some of the nicest coffee I've ever consumed in quantity.

I wonder if there's anywhere you can get real Jamaican blue mountain locally?
 
I buy my own blend of beans - and they go into my Jura Impressa espresso machine.

Morning coffee (circa 9am) :
double espresso in coffee mug, topped with steamed milk from the coffee machine and one spoon of suger. Could be considered a latte.

Mid-morning coffee (circa 11 am) :
double espresso in espresso cup - one sugar.

Afternoon coffee (circa 2 pm) :
double espresso in espresso cup - one sugar.

After dinner coffee (circa 11 pm) :
2 x double espresso in coffee mug - two sugars.

Weekends : As above, plus filter coffee (Java blend) from my Coffee Queen machine.

I could not survive without decent coffee.
 
Coffee!!!!!

We just had them newfangled machine things that make coffee for you replaced in our offices.

They are currently filled with Ciro coffee.

OMGoodness!!!!!!!! I have never tasted coffee this vile in my life before :eek::sick::sick: and I can handle pretty strong coffee.

The hot chocolate is nice though :)

Just thought I would share :p the previous machines always gave us more ants in our cups than liquid :D protein ftw!!
 
^^ I opted to be the taster for the new machine in our department. Sad to say I have a headache now from sniffing that Ciro :( wow that was strong :/ I could only handle 2 sips.
