Any other forum members addicted to coffee? As I'm a senior in college I drink coffee regularly throughout the day. I know it's unhealthy, but I don't care.
Any interesting coffee stories or caffeine trips?

heres a tip: put a dash of salt in the filter with the grounds. Helps to get rid of any bitterness in the brew...
...but not more than a dash! Once when I was still living with my folks I got up one morning, poured myself a cup and put in a spoonfull of sugar just like any other morning, but unbeknownst to me me mom had erroneously put salt in the sugar bowl. Still half asleep, I took a big swig of the coffee expecting my usual hot semi-sweet delictation but instead got a mouthful of what tasted like boiled salt water. It was disgusting with a capital "ick" and I did a classic John Ritter spit-take into the sink.
My grandfather is the only other person I've known to put salt in their coffee. Used to freak people out.

As far as fancy dan coffees go I'm a fan of an affogato (sp?) double esspresso with a scoop of vanilla icecream

I only have expresso, black, no sugar. I hate cappuccinos and all the fancy stuff. I'm having this one:
cause it's fair trade, and it tastes great.

Strangely enough whenever I am home the smell of it still makes me smile.
Remember the Folgers sketch on SNL where Chris Farley goes ape shit and strangles the dude who tricked him into drinking it ala that stupid ass commercial they had in the 80's, or was that Sanka?
I like coffee but after two or three consecutive cups I always get this feeling like my throat is closing up. |

I definitely prefer my coffee black. In fact, I hate sugar in it. Has anybody tried to drink as much coffee as possible just to see what would happen?

Coffee is today's equivalent of nectar, the Drink Of The Gods. I make mine usually in one of those stove-top deals, except I only have one which makes a double espresso, therefore my coffee tends to be a double espresso with a bit of hot water and a dash of milk if I'm feeling weak.
I have to admit to taking sugar with mine, but I disagree with no-sugar purists. Coffee's a bitter drink, and all about the taste - sugar in tea, for example, is for wimps and Northerners, but sugar in coffee (brown only) is a good thing. Just think, the great coffee drinking nations of thw world such as Italy, France, even North African countries - very strong, very sweet. Excellent.
I can't really go any fancier than a standard cappucino if I'm buying out, either. I don't hold with bowls full of latte a la Starbucks. My only regret with this policy is never ordering an orange-mocha-frappucino.
As for the beans, when I can get them (I pine for a Whittards shop near me): CafeDirect fair-trade coffee is the best I've tried.

Awesome sig. starmekitten.
I personally never put sugar in my coffee. My grandmother has the best phrase for coffee black....she says, "I'll take mine barefoot"
ewww! ;-) |

I have changed my signature especially for this thread. Although, I don't really agree with the sweet bit. Sugar in coffee is for girls. I'm taking it to mean the other sort of sweet.
 Coffee should be black as hell, strong as death and as sweet as love. |
