I'm used to drinking 100% columbian coffee at home. Tonight, for something different I bought a can of hazelnut creme for my coffee pot.

All that I can say is that hazelnut is HEAVEN! Laughing

My coffee of choice is a blend of half Sumatra (from Costco) and half decaf-Sumatra (from Starbucks). I've tried various other coffees and they don't agree with me. Organic coffee is especially harsh, I think. I also don't care for flavored coffee... at least if I want to put flavor in, I do it after brewing. That would typically be chocolate. Hazelnut is a yummy flavor but I like it best as a liqueur over vanilla ice cream.

My coffee maker is a pain to wash, but I use it anyway because it is there, I've bought it, I might as well use it.It looks like a Flash Gordon rocketship that can grind the beans and heat the water and drip it through a Melitta cone filter. When that critter breaks down, I'm going back to the basic Melitta style drip. Much easier to deal with and I can control the heat of the water better.

Never touch the stuff. Strictly a Diet Pepsi/Coke drinker. Nothing hot (except an occasional cup of soup if it's really, really cold out). But I DO love the smell.

The smell is certainly a great aroma...except for Dunkin Donuts, I love the stuff but, it always smells skunky around the place. first morning coffee brewing away is always a nice eye opener.

Mmmm, Quinn. Me, too. Well, not the Dunkin' Donuts but the very black coffee, sometimes with a twinge of sugar, especially if you're putting in some Jack Daniels and a bit of brandy. <smirk -- not that I hardly ever do... >

I don't "get" cream (or milk or half-n-half) in coffee. Yuck. Only if I absolutely have to have coffee and it is so nasty it is truly undrinkable otherwise, like at a gas station.

However, I adore iced Latte's in the summer and mocha hot or cod anytime.

Worst coffee I ever had? We were on a tour of Taliesin West and had something hot. We COULD NOT tell if it was tea or coffee. THAT was nasty. Not even cream would help that!

"Illy?"

I think just about any espresso served in a cup & saucer at a cafe along the Medi in the early morning is fantastic.

Well,I don´t actually eat roast Illy.The Italians just roast the beans Piffka.It is better as a drink than a meal.

Third double espresso??? Three x 2... SIX FREAKING HELPINGS!!!
No wonder you saw stars, or meteorites, or whatever it was... dust.

(Hmmm, I still wonder about the possibilities of viral phages in that dust. I forget who/what the Triffids were. Nasty, I suppose.)

I think I may have to make a little more coffee myself. A half-cup of Sumatra beans, half-cup of Sumatra de-caf beans... I'm such a wimp.

At the beginning of the novel,everyone who watched this amazing meteorite shower went blind.The triffids had been around for awhile and were rather partial to human flesh.Needless to say,blind human flesh was easy pickings.
