Well, that was the last of our coffee powder. So tea it will be from now on (I drank quite a bit of it for quite q while in the office a while ago, so got to find my favorite brand from back then).

You poor soul. Tea just doesn't cut it for me in the mornings.

Stopped at a new coffee spot this morning. Pretty darn good!

I ran out of cream yesterday so I had no coffee this morning. :blink: Needless to say, when I got back from my weekend grocery shopping, I made some, and inhaled it, together with two lovely, fresh West Coast trail muffins.

Had a lovely Timmie's English Toffee coffee yesterday. The girl on the speaker thingy actually asked me it I wanted sugar with it(?). Apparently, the word "toffee" didn't clue her in at all.

Well, I had an official espresso for the first time in my life!!

Everyone else ordered a regular coffee and it came out in this large cup... then there was me.... it was like a whisky shot glass, only ceramic!! O_O LOL

I honestly had no idea what to expect. I knew it was supposed to be strong but I didn't think it would be THAT small.

In all honesty, it tasted like a pot of coffee I made one time. I made an extra strong pot, and then forgot the burner was still on under my coffee pot... so a full pot evaporated away to a half pot. That half pot that was left tasted pretty much exactly like the espresso. So next time, instead of paying 4 bucks for a shot glass of stout coffee... I'll make my own. :P

There is an art to it. If it was made right from good bean, it wouldn't taste like hours-simmered Farmers Brother drip coffee.

Went to bed an hour early, woke up an hour early. Coffeee.....

Well, then my uneducated guess would be that they were not nearly artistic enough... :P

Well, the main point about the Espresso is given away by its name – a quick coffee. More important than the art is the specialized machine to brew it (and very likely also specialized beans). Drip coffee just takes too long, and probably simply doesn’t work for single-cup (or ceramic shotglass) portions. So to speed up the brewing process beyond what Newton’s laws would give us, the water is pressed through the grounds at high pressure – which is why several components of the specialized Espresso machines are made of cast iron or the like. The Cappuccino served at the company coffeeshop was also brewed the same fast way (and the Latte Macchiato too), just has frothed mild added.

Funny thing is, the caffeine content of a coffee produced by this high-pressure procedure is lower than that of drip coffee (caffeine apparently doesn’t like being hurried). Perhaps the “kick” from Espresso just feels more potent because of other components in the coffee grounds besides the caffeine, and because Espresso also fits how one usually drinks it – again the shotglass comparison fits. One needs to, too, because although the ceramic shotglasses (and larger cups too) are pre-heated, still the small volume of the Espresso would cause it to go cold quickly. So make quick – drink quick.

Went through the BlackStar revolution Espresso beans, so back to some Swill dark chocolate "choffee' for a bit. I'll then dump in the gormet Colombian beans I have.

Well, we actually bought coffee again (the last brand we tested, in a harsh view the “least disgusting” of the lot). After decades of consumption, “kicking the habit” seems to be harder than we thought … :whistle:

Went "coffee-less" for the past three days due to poor management on my part. I was able to "inhale" a lovely cup this afternoon. :-D

Started the morning off by inhaling the first half of my coffee, while munching on a bear claw, and then carted the other half around with me while I checked the yard outside. Can you say: "Cold coffee ..... YUCK!"

I had my coffee late yesterday, and found myself up at 0130 hrs this morning. Got up at 0600 hrs. Will likely be napping this afternoon. LOL
