How do you like yours?

I like it strong. With a little bit of foo-foo creamer, no sugar. (the foo-foo creamers are plenty sweet)

I just brewed a pot for the wife and I.

We have both been sleeping a lot. Her because she's still adjusting to the time change from being in the Philippines for almost a month and me because, well... working 12 hour night shifts, even when you get used to it, leaves you tired for some reason.

I'm hoping a coffee site isn't considered a competitor reference. If it is, I apologize, Steve.

I order the columbian supremo. My wife is a bigger coffee drinker than I and she absolutely loves it. When I ground some up and brewed it at work, everyone asked "Who made this coffee? It friggin rocks!" Now some of my coworkers will call me and ask if I brought coffee in. LOL!

One of the Sgt's explained it best... it tastes like really good coffee, but it has no bitterness. (he drinks his coffee black)

^ the next step in your evolution is to get a home roaster and get green raw beans and custom roast your own.

right on teedub, sounds cool. how many (if at all) batches came out funky when you first started out doing your own roasting?

Yeaup. They ship within 24 hrs of roasting, so it's really fresh.

My only complaint, with buying the 5 lbs, which I do, is that they send it in 1 five pound bag. To keep it the freshest, they should send 5 one pound bags. But that's probably not cost effective for them.

Cream and Sugar is for Sissies . . .

Coffee rules. Starbucks makes a good cup, especially when you get a black eye (regular coffee, two add shots of espresso).

I like it two ways (easy, cowboy):

Like I like my women; tan and sweet

Like my heart is; strong and black

I don't know a lot about coffee.........but my Tassimo coffee machine makes some Italian and French coffees that are only about 5oz and they are really strong.

I like these too.........not QUITE espresso but a kick ass cup nonetheless.
