Soothing Shrimp Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 So how does everyone else take their coffee? Favorite brands? Recipes? My favorite way of making my coffee: 1/4 cup- 1/2 cup coffee grounds in the $12 coffee pot brewer 6 cups water 1/4 sugar powder french creamer My kids like my "Coffee au Lait" made the same way but 1/2 coffee and 1/2 milk as opposed to creamer heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicca32 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 i love the smell of coffee brewing but not a huge drinker. i like some of the espresso from starbucks but i have to add alot of sugar and what not to it to be able to drink it lol. at that point it is not espresso but EXPRESSO cause you end up expressing way more than normal and you cant sit still lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

00camaro16 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Black... any really dark roast. There a guy here in Ann Arbor that roast his own that's good but I'm not picky. At coffee shops I get a red eye (cup of coffee with 2 shots of expresso). Chris Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pika Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Mmmm coffee. I like the medium to darker roasts, too. A little cream or milk, no sugar. I really didn't used to drink that much coffee, but then grad school happened, and, yeah, coffee is good. Frequent studying trips to a coffee shop didn't help either. Usually I just do brewed or French press coffee at home, but sometimes it's nice to have someone else make it, with all the precise temperatures and perfect frothing. I used to love my studying Caribou cafe in Minnesota so much, especially because they had real mugs, and you got free mug refills while you were there. When I moved out here, a couple times I actually drove past three Starbucks to go to a Caribou. (Now that's becoming a Peet's, so I'll have no further allegiance ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpetals Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Lots of cream & sugar and a few xtra espresso shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metageologist Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 I like my coffee dark and black, nothing else in it. On occasion if I'm on the way home after a long week in the field I will get a large with two shots espresso. Have a gniess day. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
