It's Saturday morning. I have been up for a while now. Ihave ground some coffee beans and have brewed a pot of coffee. Right now, I am sitting in front of my comupter, twenty paces from my shop, with the smell of freshly hewn wood in the air, drinkin a cup of coffee. Life is grand! Coffee always adds a new perspective to things.

Here are my questions for all of you coffee drinkers. Are you a black or doctored up coffee person? What is the best cup of coffee you have every had.

Since I asked the questions, I believe etiquette dictates that I answer first. Personally I like both black coffee and doctored coffee. For me my choice depends on the time of day and the situation. However, with desert I will always drink black.

My favorite cup of coffee is a tie between three; 1) the infamous "Bowl Of Soul" from a coffee house in Sun Valley, ID known as Java, 2) a "Carmal High Rise" from any Carabou Coffee, and 3) a very stout black coffee with an extrordinarily rich desert from Cafe Latte in St. Paul, MN.

I've got a pot on right now...
It can be good stuff but i've seen addicts who go through five cups before noon...its hard to work with em...

I take it with cream and suger but can handle it black.

Do you have a grinder and grind up your own beans? This is the best i think...mixing diff types can sometypes make a great cup!

I used to be a 5 cup before noon type. I had to ween myself. Now I only drink a few cups on Saturday.

I grind my own by hand. I've never tried mixing though. Good idea! I personally love the smell freshly ground coffee leaves in the kitchen.

for me, coffee and other caffinated beverages have lead to problems with my nervous system. it causes me to 'tweak'-violently twitch-every once in a while, which is unfortunate but i can control it unless its very cold. maybe i should eat more...

------------------
It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now. Only to be reborn as a 'God' to rule over every living soul.


What are you saying? Are you trying to tell me you have feelings now? Ha, ha, ha... Stop acting as if you're sad. And there's no need to act as if you're angry either. Because, Cloud, you are... a puppet.

I would have to go with cream and sugar. Freshly ground is the best first thing
in the morning. I sometimes stop by Starbucks or Barnies just to smell it.

Down here I think Barnies makes the best coffee, there was this place in Vale, Co. that I went to that made the best caapichino I,ve ever had.

As I say on a cold day coffee,coffee,coffee must have coffee.

I agree coffee and cold days go hand in hand. There is nothing quite like being inside drinking a hot cup of coffee while watching those outside, bundled against the 40 below wind chill, scurrying for the nearest door, as fast as their little half frozen legs will carry them.
