Coffee

I think Mr Cyrano was employing sarcasm.

Really? why do you said that? I didn't sense any Sarcasm in his part, some people really do prefer the causal quick American Coffee provided in deli and coffee stand (they have gotten used to the taste). Of course they won't start brewing brand name coffee which isn't that much more expensive anyway than those you can buy in the supermarket.

People who prefer instant stuff to an Italian espresso for any reason other than convenience obviously don't know quality when they taste it, and should be shot on sight. Nah, just kidding.. kinda.. but I figured that Cyrano was thinking along similar lines? Especially since he mentioned "the last drop", which is usually notably foul, if the first one was ok. Perhaps I'm just projecting though. :-p Getting used to the taste is no excuse!

Ahah, I don't know how Maxwell House tastes, so he might very well have been sarcastic. Still, sometimes a bit of variety is cool, even though at the end of my 6-months stay I was terribly missing espresso.

It's not bad at all, they have this taste when it's brew that you just know that it's Maxwell house coffee. For some reason, I think that is the choice of coffee in all office job, No joke.

I tried espresso only a few times, but I am thinking in between the lines that it's too thick, too concentrated to drink it daily, with regular coffee I can drink 3-4 cups a day no problem like as frequent as water. I can't do that with espresso nor do I really know anyway who drinks it in volume like it can be done with coffee.

I usually drink 3 espressos per day, it's really not a big deal when you get used to it

True. I can't even eat spaghetti three meals a day, I bet you can eat pizza 5 times a day.



edit: I just meant that you italians make very addicting food...

There have been registered case of "pizzsomnia", where people bake and eat pizza while remaining asleep.

I was thinking of coffee made on an espresso base as opposed to instant coffee. Espresso shots are too strong for me too. :-p Your argument that you can drink regular coffee in volume makes me laugh. :-p Quality > quantity! Take it easy, Numbers!

Oh for sure 5 cups a day everyday, it's like adderall for me, I can't function without it You should too! if you ever complain about low energy level...

Since when does the Devil drink coffee? I understand Red Wine and Russian Vodka but... Maybe God should speak up his preferred drink.

I like my coffee with sugar and milk and a cigarette.

[Beautiful sky]

fresh beans, cream, NO sugar.

[jewels]

lotsa milk or cream so it's a nice caramel color, with several sugar packets. Not too hot as I hate to burn my tongue, so just warm enough.

During the week I only drink tea with no sugar or cream. So weekends I splurge and get all crazy caffeinated.
