I am a coffee snob. I love the stuff, love coffeeshops, love learning about new kinds of coffee (also, I love lamp.). My honest to God dream career would be to own a coffeeshop, and not just of the Dutch variety, but just a shop in general that could be a cool kind of lounge where I could spin records/have live music, etc.
But I digress... Are there any other coffee snobs out there? What are your favorite brews?
I'm a HUGE fan of Sumatran coffee's, they're usually moderately dark, a little bit more oily, and have a very "nutty" kind of finish to them. Equal Exchange and Alterra have Sumatran blends I thoroughly enjoy - But at the moment I'm drinking a Mexican blend from Alterra that is about as dark and muddy as a cup of coffee can get - You could stand a spoon up in it; I love it!
So yeah... Coffee for the win, this is it's "Appreciation Thread." |

| I put milk and sugar in my coffee, and I eat some toasted bread with it. |

I'm just starting to try different kinds of tea and coffee. I'm usually a juice, water and occasional-drink kind of person.
Tea: So far, Camomile, Green tea, and Earl Grey. :)
Coffee. Latte, Mochacino, Frappe, and one I didn't like was Corretto with a sambuka shot. Errgh!
If I ever become a coffeeholic, I'll blame the Crane Brothers. :p |

i often have a superstrength (3 spoonfuls of coffee, sachet of cappichino, 4 sugars and 1/4 milk) cup of coffee if i have to be awake and alert in the early mornings.
tastes like , but once the buzz kicks in, its fine. |

My dad was the CEO of Austin Chase Coffee here in Seattle before he sold it to Torrefazione Italia. If I wasn't a coffee snob before that I certainly was afterward. We had all the machines baristas use at our house.  |

Well I got to keep it going keep it going full steam
Too sweet to be sour too nice to be mean
On the tough guy style I'm not too keen
To try to change the world I will plot and scheme
Mario C likes to keep it clean
Gonna shine like a sun beam
Keep on rapping cause that's my dream
Got an A from Moe Dee for sticking to themes
When it comes to envy y'all is green
Jealous of the rhyme and the rhyme routine
Another dimension new galaxy
Intergalactic planetary

Those are all fine and well, but they aren't really good examples of enjoying "coffee."
They're Americanized drinks that are uber sugary and really aren't all that "coffee-ish."
Not sayin' they're bad, but there is a world of difference between those and what I'm talking about... :) |

Mr. Coffee
Morning has broken
MR. Coffee has spoken
The familiar wake-up call
sings to my ears
I wake with a shrug
To the floor with a thud
Where in this hellhole is my coffee mug?
I can now face the day
on legal speed (The American way)
I'm sketching
I'm seizing
I'm spazing
I'm shaking
I can not stop spilling on my brand new shirt
I-I-I'm wired
I'm so inspired
I drank the entire pot
so off to work
Here I come to save the day
on legal speed (The American way)
Drinking coffee
I drink coffee
Drinking coffee everyday
