The importance of coffee

[BigDave83]

I know some ladies that would have done that.

I could never figure out what to put in it to make it taste as good as it smells as it brews.

What sensible people!

I need to make my coffee really strong, in the good Norwegian way!  All this weak coffee being sold is not worth buying.

[Bar-B-Lew]

I only drink coffee when it is added as part of a stout or porter.  Go figure.

Don't like the smell of it brewing or the taste.
But I love the smell of the coffee beans in the grocery aisle.

I grew up well into my 30s thinking that I didn't like coffee.

Turned out what I didn't like was (a) instant coffee (b) weak coffee.

I am still very much a tea person, but I have 1-2 cups of coffee a day, usually in the morning. I have a bean2cup machine, and use it to make double shot espressos, which I sometimes make into a long black, and sometimes foam milk; but usually just take it as it comes.

Yes!  Church basement coffee is likely to turn people totally away from coffee (maybe the church).

Why does this not surprise me

[Bentley]

Yeah, see through coffee is the worst, I prefer to cut mine!

To this day (I'm not 51 years old) I have never had a cup of coffee.  I love the smell of coffee, so I have a feeling I would really like it and then it would turn into an expensive habit.  One of the things I don't need is to start joining my coworkers on their daily walks to Starbucks (or other pricey coffee joint).  I'll stick with water, tea (usually iced), and beer/cider.

I'm with you, I drink 2-3 28 oz. glasses of caffeine-free ice tea daily.

All through college, law school and 30 years in an office (several within a short walk of Starbucks) never bought a Starbucks or other pricey coffees unless buying a client a cup.  I made better coffee at home and had a pot at work I used and made my own.  Why pay a lot for overpriced stuff that isn't as good or as strong as I make.  I now have French press I take when we travel and make my own in the hotel because the last Starbucks I broke down and bought on the road was expensive and very mediocre.  They sure got folks to buy into their PR campaigns!

I'm just the opposite, I started drinking coffee pre-teen and have been drinking  3-5 cups a day ever since. I have more coffee pots than smokers, my go to pot is a Phillips (formally Saeco) super automatic that holds 2L of water, grinds the beans and brews the coffee at 15+ atmospheres of pressure. I've had coffee all over the world and my coffee is as good or better than all of them (IMHO).
