    Yea, coffee is great. Two cups in the morning at home, two cups at work. I take it black. As I got older, I noticed I needed more flavor in the coffee. At the store, I now only get dark roast beans. I use the espresso grind.

    It a way, my experience with coffee is the same as beer. As a young person, I thought that coors, budwiser, etc. were great. Then they seemed to lose their taste. I moved up in taste and ultimately I found Guinness on tap. I tried Guinness in bottles, but that wasn't the same. I haven't found any beers more flavorful than Guinness on tap (if you know of any, please post).

    I love coffee. I can drink it almost any time and still sleep if I have to. It will wake me up if I need it to. Never weak...I'd rather not drink it. It's even a bit of an addiction for me. Like driving home from work thinking about the cup I'll have after I eat dinner.

    I even like the dreaded instant, Nescafe Rich Blend.

    You have to try the Keurig k-cup coffee's. There is a ton of variety and it has to be the best tasting coffee that I have tasted home brewed. I would rank it above Starbucks without second guessing that rank. :dood:

    TBH my cake licking friend, you likely could roll your own from the herbal tea bags, also a collegue of mine whos from China brings in actual leaves, dont know th ename of them as I DONT SPEAK Chinese! but they are nice, must ask him if it translates


    As for coffee, all highstreet coffee sucks badly, some better than others granted but they are just franchises and the quality varies, so if you find a good coffee house stick to it, but otherwise your just as better off with McDs coffee.


    Best ground out there IMHO is Lavazza

    depends on how strong those pots are, if like pee well not so great and admirable but if like expresso strength then thats admirable.

    When I was a teen my buddy Ray and I decided to float down the Kootenay river in his little boat. The river is fairly flat but we were approaching a fun little rapid and Ray wanted to roll and smoke a joint before we got to it so we could "experience it more". We grabbed an overhanging branch to buy us some time, the boat stopped, and water poured in over the stern, swampnig us. There went our drenched bag of weed floating down the river. We dragged the boat to shore and sat there cold and miserable, and consumed all that we had left...a thermos of "herbal" tea.

    Hmmm I almost agree but there are a huge number of beers only sold in specific places that match Guinness, go to a beer festival in Norfolk ;)
    But stay clear of a beer called "Hair Of The Dog" because it really does taste like the name suggests :-D

    As for Coffee, Tim Hortons all the way!

    Thats what you get when you do things like hug the event horizon of a black hole, then loop-de-loop 'round the spinning singularity at twice the speed of light, then slam the engines into reverse and blast out of an imploding nebula.

    Take a day off :)

    What a guy *sighs*
