How do you take your coffee?

Black, kitchen, Folgers Classic Roast.

I brew it strong, and I prefer to buy whole beans and grind it just before brewing. I like bolder roasts like French Roast, I want to be slapped upside the head by my coffee. I like only a tiny bit of sugar (real sugar - I will pass on sweetening before I use the chemically stuff) but I love using a lot of cream. That's real cream, too, a light cream, not half and half. Can be hard to find at times, so I buy a lot at a time.

I don't mind the work at all, because it's such a "bit of heaven" way to start the day. :love: I've been served great coffee from a French press, but I find it doesn't maintain temperature long enough, and I don't like having to nuke my coffee to get it hot.

Admittedly, I'm a PITA about my coffee. :mrgreen:

Bingo.

Every morning on the way out the door, I make a cup in my Tassimo machine. On the weekends, when I actually have time to make coffee in the morning, I'll either make a couple shots of espresso or brew something in my French press.

Currently, I'm drinking 454 Horse Power by Kicking Horse Coffee. Pretty good. Their Three Sisters blend is also good.

Not enough people grind their own beans. That really adds to the flavor more than most people realize.

The one I have (Bodum) only makes 2-3 cups (depending on cup size), so the second cup is still plenty hot when I'm ready for it. When I make coffee, I don't let it sit around long enough to get cold, lol.

My wife, on the other hand, will only drink half a cup before it gets cold...

I've been working at a cafe here for over a year now, so it's a double-shot vanilla latte for me! I really like a Turkish coffee also, though.

That was much more interesting than what I was expecting.

We get to participate in the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony once a year, at Thanksgiving. A good family friend--who we met when she came here from Ethiopia about a decade ago--and her daughter perform the ceremony. They start the beans roasting a good bit before our meal, so that by the time the meal is over and it's time for dessert, the beans will be roasted and ready for the rest of the ceremony. It's a very cool thing to watch. What's especially cool is that we have had people from as many as six different countries all gathered around, participating in the Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony.

Dark roast and mellow. So smooth it doesn't need cream. We recently obtained a Keurig, so we are experimenting with different "cups".

When I drove the state, I used to get McDonald's (not bad, actually, since they improved their coffee about 10 years ago or so). Why heck, even in NW Iowa, where they can't make coffee to save their soul, McDonald's is still pretty good.

EXCEPT in my own home town, where the McDonald's always cleans the coffee machine with some powerful chemical cleaning agent, and DOESN'T RINSE IT!!!!! Pure garbage!

There is one shop here that roasts and sells whole bean coffee. Wonderful!

Preferred is dark roast in my single cup brewer double double, I'm like Sharon's son and use more scoops than "normal", I like it strong which is why Tim Horton's doesn't really twirl my beanie.
