[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

[YOY]

27. French Press or even better Turkish Jezvair

:thumbsup:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. What's Turkish Jezvair?

[YOY]

33. I didn't know how to spell it in English until I looked it up: "cesva" or "ibrik"

You pronounce the first one like Jezvair though...or so I thought. I can spell it just fine in the language of Turkey's NW neighbors.

Shit should be illegal it's so good but a little harsh on the stomache if you're not used to it!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. Yay...more coffee gear for me to buy

[YOY]

44. If you haven't had Turkish coffee before try it before you buy.

I bet you have if you love coffee, but just in case...it's not for everyone!

[mainegreen]

2. cream only (not milk), preferably from Yemen, otherwise Ethiopia.

In an ideal world: French press.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Fair trade organic French roast, ground fresh from the bean every morning.

Black.

[HereSince1628]

5. In teacups, made from packets that look like TEABAGS!

The devil made me do it...

on edit...I should have said with 2 TEAspoons of sugar

[marketcrazy1]

7. drip

Folgers, hazelnut or french vanilla. black no sugar, strong.........

[Scurrilous]

6. Cuban, Vicky Bakery, by the lady behind the counter.

:thumbsup:

[SurfingScientist]

8. Dark roast, strong, filtered; drop of milk. HUGE mug.

Best roast ever: "Santa Cruz Dark" (Santa Cruz Coffee Roasting Company) :loveya:
Every day roast: "Volcano" (Trader Joe's) :kick:

*sluuuuuurp* Aaaaahhhhhh. :donut:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

9. I like it weak, sweet, light with half and half. I use a drip maker. I 'm on a limitetd budget and

can only afford what's on sale at the local supermarket.

[yy4me]

Hot! Not the like warn stuff made by our home coffeemakers.

Almost any brand except the flavored ones. I like them all but have to nuke the mug for at least a minute in my old 700 watt microwave to make it hot enough to enjoy.

[RDANGELO]

10. Before I quit drinking it, black.

I had to give it up, couldn't sleep, bloated stomach, acid reflux.

[ForrestGump]

11. In someone else's cup

Bleh.

I may not share their love for coffee, but I will defend until death...well, at least to severe injury or, more likely, mild inconvenience... their right to drink it!!

[Sanity Claws]

12. Drip, Costa Rica, with half n half

When I was in Costa Rica several years ago, I tried its coffee and thought it was the best.

[Buzz Clik]

13. Never EVER drink coffee from the pot at work.

[ForrestGump]

16. No. Please.

Use a cup, you public health hazard... :grr:

[Buzz Clik]

43. I suppose you also object to drinking from the toilet or eating urinal cakes.

Spoil sport.

[SidDithers]

14. Blue Mountain Coffee, from Jamaica...

with half & half and 1 sugar.

Sid

[cherokeeprogressive]

15. Picked by young children in So. America.

Actually, I hate coffee and haven't had a proper cup in over a decade.

[mod mom]

17. Fair trade, organic, medium roast w 1/2 Organic 2% milk made by hubby w non-battery frother

in my favorite chartreuse coffee mug ;)

[EstimatedProphet]

I roast the beans myself, and use a press.

Mt favorite is Kenyan. I really like the brightness. I also really like Ethiopian Yergacheffe, for the same reason.

[Adelante]

18. Currently I drink Mexican espresso from Veracruz with cream

I like cheap Cuban, like El Pico, as well.

[Seldona]

19. Kona from Hawaii or Blue Mountain from Jamaica.

Black.

[Scout]

20. i don't like coffee at all. not any type, not from anywhere. n/t

[seabeyond]

21. lounge *looking around*, are we in lounge. black.... kinda strong, a lot of it

first thing in the morning with no interruptions, no talking, no noise until the second cup

[blogslut]

22. Cheap, strong and

with a spoonful of sweetened condensed milk. :)

I buy this:

[islandmkl]

23. costa rican, ground fresh for the french press...

well, the french press before the goddam cat below decided to play soccer with the thing...

currently using a drip...and mixing in a little combination of condensed milk/half & half to sweeten, etc...

[marmar]

24. I loooooves me some java talk......

..... I like mild to medium roasts generally. Whole Foods' Guatemala Antigua, Illy, Dallmayr Ethiopian Crown, Cafe Malongo and Lavazza are my favorites. I like it automatic-drip brewed, with a generous amount of CoffeeMate creamer and organic cane sugar.
Darker roasts I prefer as lattes. I'm generally not a fan of chains, but the Peet's stores on the west coast aren't bad. When it comes to darker roasts, anything imported and Italian will usually work. :)

[EstimatedProphet]

40. Try roasting your own beans

It's easy, you have all the control you want over what your coffee will be like, and there is no way to beat the freshness!

[sinkingfeeling]

25. French roast with cream, please.

[Aristus]

26. In the style of Voltaire: "Black as midnight, hot as Hell, sweet as love, and pure as an angel."

Voltaire had a way with words... B-)

[Uzybone]

28. with a scoop of whey and a spoon of honey

[Gold Metal Flake]

29. Hot as Hell, Black as Night, Sweet as Sin.

And NEVER Maxwell House. What the fuck is that shit, because it's not coffee!

[Buck Laser]

30. Nuke the cup for 30 seconds before you pour the coffee.

It stays hot longer. I go for dark French roast slightly sweetened.

[Salviati]

32. I like my coffee like I like my women:

Cold and bitter...


But I kid, I generally like it brewed strong, and then the edge taken off with a bit of sugar and whole milk.

[cherokeeprogressive]

46. LOL. That could have said "I like my coffee like I like my ex-wife".

Too funny.

When I DID drink coffee, which was only for a short time, I drank it like you do. I always described it as "liking my coffee like I like my women: Hot, Light, and Sweet".

[TahitiNut]

34. Quad mocha vente, no foam.

:shrug:

[NeedleCast]

35. Strong

[lumberjack_jeff]

36. Handy. n/t

[closeupready]

37. If the beans are inferior, I prefer them dark roasted, lots of 1/2 and 1/2.

If they are high quality, a medium roast, with a tbsp. or 2 or 1/2 and 1/2. Organic is best, but not essential.

[renate]

39. made with this

I heard about this coffee press here on DU--it really is good:

http://www.amazon.com/AeroPress-Coffee-and-Espresso-Maker/dp/B000GXZ2GS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1239808555&sr=8-2

You can make several cups' worth of concentrate ahead of time--not that it's hard to do one cup at a time, but making a lot at once saves a few pennies on the filters. I use a big thick Pyrex measuring cup for making concentrate to store--I specify thick because you do have to press pretty hard. I wouldn't use this on a dainty little tea cup, for sure.

Highly recommended! :thumbsup:

[rucky]

41. I like to roast my own...
