Thursday Next Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I never put sugar in my coffee, even the epic Turkish stuff. My grandad's a Turk (along with half that side of the family) and he thinks I'm mad. I just love that bitter, take your face off taste. Drunk with some really dark chocolate to accompany it and it's perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Wait why is there beef stock in the picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Cos it's a drink like the others. Also you didn't take note of the cold flu powder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRevanchist Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I think we all saw it and assumed you were under the weather. The main ponderance I had was about the liquorice tea. I've never seen such a beast, nor do I have any love of the flavor to imagine such a thing would exist. I imagine it tastes like shitty Ricola.

deanb Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well you can dip bread in it too. But...yeah. Also the liquorice is house mates (though I think I inherited it). She kinda figured it would be like black liquorice, but it's more like root liquorice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I've never heard of anyone using beef stock for anything other than soup broth, or maybe an ingredient in some kind of baked dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Well it's more specifically Bovril that's drank than beef stock in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm probably gonna be looked down by the coffee connoisseurs/overlords here...but a Dunkin Donuts just opened down the road from my house. Hell yeah!Love their Pumpkin and Red Velvet Lattes. YUMMOAnd donuts too. Cuz I'm moderately fat. I like to walk that fine line between overweight and obese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Love their Pumpkin and Red Velvet Lattes. YUMMO It's not the cafe choice. It's the fact that you're buying these sorts of drinks. Anyways, I've been loving my Aeropress. It's not as easy as coffee grounds in a drip coffee maker but it makes way way better coffee and you only need to make one cup at a time instead of letting it sit in the pot. You can actually make more than one cup with it but I haven't tried it yet as I'm not sure what sort of container I would use. Maybe I should buy one of those sealable travel mugs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 So, I am moving up on the snobbery. I roast my own coffee now. My friend taught me how to do it on the stove, which is more or less what they do in Panama. It is just on a smaller scale. I can't get a as even roast as my friend can but I like it that way. You can get characteristics from two or more roast levels at once. If I recall correctly, first crack and you're in the light and with the second crack you'll be in the dark roast. I like it more towards the light to medium. And I have reign in my daily coffee consumption. At the very least I spread it much more out. Also I started to go with straight black coffee. With no sugar, I actually can last much better. No crashes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 That sounds awesome Mal.I drink dark roast from time to time without any creme or sugar(Dunkin Donuts of course). Would love to try making it myself like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftwaffles Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 The main reason I drink my coffee black is the commuter cup I have is really hard to clean, and if I toss tons of cream and sugar in there it gets gross much quicker. Just kidding, I drink black coffee because I'm a real man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 I drink whatever tastes good. Black, white, half-black, half-white. Mexican. Whatever.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Like this awesome cornbread recipe I discovered: instead of 1 tablespoon of sugar, like the recipe calls for, you put in 1/3 of a cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 if you want to get an even roast you can use a hot air popcorn maker. You're less likely to burn the beans in it and it blows the chaff out as well as it's roasting. Here's a link on about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Actually, I do it more for moistness than sweetness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is what my friend said is one of the better way to go and it does get rid of the chaff. Stove top method requires the beans to be tossed and the chaff blow out. If not, that shit gonna burn. Coffee ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vecha Posted November 14, 2013 Report Share Posted November 14, 2013 Just looked it up. Looks tasty. Kind of a depressing background...used it because milk wasn't readily available. I'd rather have a cow instead of cans and cans of condensed milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
