Can't believe that we hadn't coffee topic yet. Now time to show our love and worship to Goddess of Caffeine. Join us our "coffee bean loving" brothers and sisters ^_^
Today's specials:
Coffee with cinnamon :thumbup:
-
Isn't she lovely and beautiful?

Wonderful idea, Vlad! :yeha:
I've got some cinnamon at home and will take it to the office this afternoon. :)
Cheers!

Some time ago I'd said "woooooow, a coffee topic, yummy!!!!". Now I only say "that's great, a coffee topic".
Indeed, not long ago I was totally coffee-addicted. And the darker and heavy the better (but with sugar... I can't drink sugarless coffee). For no reason my taste changed a bit, and now I like coffee, but I prefer tea at the moment (perhaps I have to start the topic "Tea" :wOOt: ).
To follow the topic, the most usual coffee here: coffee with some milk (it's served in a small cup, only a little bigger than black coffee).
-
Dark or light, totally roasted or delicate. With milk or sugar or without anything. From Brazil, Corse, Algeria.... all of them are small principles of caffeine divinity.
-
Oh, the heresy... :disgust:
What kind of tea, btw? :wOOt:
Cheers!
Markus
-
I like the red the the most (even the not-tea-but-similar, the Rooibos). After that, the green one, the black and the white (in this order). And I had a tea with cinnamon, delicious! But I drank it all, and now I have it no more :bawl:
-
I still have some :) Rooibos with cinnamon and brown sugar - it's realy delicious - I think I love this kind of tea too :wub:
-
It was no Rooibos, though. Perhaps I can try to add some cinnamon to the Rooibos :yeha:
-
Nice... a coffee topic and half the posts are about tea :disgust:
I, being the coffee purist I am, will stay away of this until tha topic goes back on track :pop:
Cheers,

It's the Tea_Watchers_Team who forced me to do this aberration!! :afaid: :bawl:

True - we made ugly off-topic - it may be blunder to the gods of caffeine. So Luthy shall start Tea topic, and this one should be reserved for coffee :thumbup:
-
Weirdest coffee ideas:
:idea:
In Arabia people believed that drinking coffee with milk causes leprosy...
-
Now I understand why my right hand fell off yesterday :unsure:
-
Coffee smells SO GOOD but I don't drink it. :lol: Now to the tea topic! :)
-
I agree to "The OFFman" :)
-
I must be off topic a little bit. :innocent:
Yesterday I met a friend of mine, we went to a cafe, and had a really nice talk. Meanwhile we were drinking tea (me rooibos with caramel, she delicious fruit tea). After a few hours we felt the smell of coffee and we drank coffe as well. I had an Irish coffee, with a touch of whiskey, sweet and strong... mmmh... delicious. :)

The Blue Mountain is said to be the best coffee in the world... I don't know if that's true, but the price of it talks by itself :afaid:
-
I don't know if it is the best or no, but it is the most exclusive that's for sure. It grows in tiny farms and in very special conditions... lot's of care, everything is done by hand in those plantations. Anyways, about the taste.. I cannot tell, the price has taken me away of those beans :bawl:. ... (and I'm not sure that I'll pay that price if someday I have enough money to buy anything I want).
My top five coffees in no particular order would be: Colombian Excelso (from the Caldas region :yeha:), Costa Rican Tarrazú, New Guinea's Sigri, Celebes' Kalosi and Hawaii's Kona.
:unsure:
...
..
.
mmm... that makes me think that my cup of coffee is empty. Goes and fills it again
-
Mmmmmmmmm Kona is good. . .
~The (Kona-stic) Cretin~

Mhhhhmmmmmmm.... I really like Tarrazu ^_^

Hi there,
I had some cinnamon-coffee last week and declare the upcoming week to be the Vanilla Week! :yeha: That means I'll add some Vanilla sugar to my coffee every now and then.
Cheers!

:disgust: Oh! you blasfemous being! How can you rejoice of such an aberration!
Coffee must drink pure... no sugar, no milk, no cream, no nothing
...

Well that's the I like it anyway :biggrin: ... You, you can do whatever you want.

Hey Fishy,
usually I drink my coffee so black that someone has to turn on the lights, or else the whole building darkens. But for a change I sometime add some flavouring to it. BTW I read that a traditional Arabian flavouring is cardamom, so prepare to read about that.
Cheers!
Markus
-
I had a big ammount of fresh cardamon during studies (thanks to botanic institute and my favourite PhD)... yes.... it is traditional spice... and probably the best!
Cardaemonized VladH :pop:
-

Man! cardamom + coffee rocks!!! :wOOt:
You just have to mix a few seeds with your coffee before filtering it and that's it. It is really... I mean really good.
The only prob I have with that is that your coffee marchine tastes cardamom for a bunch of time (that thing is oretty strong). But what the heck.
-
I'm drinking a lot of coffee (with a lot of milk) nowadays, I like its taste. It's all your fault! :)
-
It's all your fault! :)
Nice, nice.... soon the world will be ours!!!! :ninja:

This workplace makes me coffee-dependent. But I'm drinking a caffeine-free coffee now (Please don't ban me! :afaid:) and this makes me think: What is caffeine-free coffee made of? How is it possible to extract caffeine from the normal coffee? Or is it just a synthetic stuff? Because then I'll stop drinking it.
-
Heya caffeinists,
decaffeination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decaffeination) is usually done by washing the caffeine out in a smart way that leaves the rest of the coffee-substances intact as much as possible. :)
Still, I prefer the hard stuff. :ninja:
Cheers!

Hey Lucy ... just for this time I won't ban you -_- ... but, it's just this time.
From a purist point of view caffeine-free coffee is not real coffee. It's a warm beverage that tastes like coffee. It was coffee one day, but it is not coffee anymore... because someone took out the caffeine from it. :wacko: It is not a synthetic stuff that's sure!
How to remove caffeine from a coffee bean?. Well, take the bean (a non-roasted one), boil it for some time, rinse it with an organic solvent and that's it. You have a caffeine-less bean... weell yes, it has also lost many other compounds that can also be solved in water. That's why purist say, it's not real coffee, and that's probably why I, as Markus, prefer the hard and pure stuff.
You can find a quick description of the different descaf processes following Markus' link.
Other thing, caffeine can easily be extracted from tea leaves by sublimation: Take some black tea leaves, crush them, put them into a spoon and heat them with a flame... gently and slowly! After some time the leaves will begin to smoke. Put a glass over the smoke and you will see cafeine crystals forming in the surface of the glass. The tea will be useless (burned) after that, but hey, it caffeine-free! :biggrin: (That was a experiment we did in the University when I took a phytochemistry course. However, a a more complicated process is needed if you want the pure stuff).
-
Thank you guys... now I know. :wub:
Though it really does not taste like the "normal" coffee, I think I will go on with the decaffeinated version. It spares me from fast heartbeat, sleepless nights and anxiety (these are my usual reactions after drinking coffee).
-
Hey Aluqak,
you're inspiring me to a devilish plan against the milk thieves in my office... :evil2:
Cheers!

Coffee! ye, was a lover too, but decided to try to quit the addiction like a month ago.
I began drinking strong black coffee since I was like 16. Ever since, if I did not had my usual cup in the morning I would get a terrible headache!
But this year I noticed, that after drinking coffee I would feel sick :-s So I decided to try and leave it, and I am almost 95% coffee free (95% milk, 5% coffee).
I still love it, and wish I could keep on drinking it, 'cuz I love the taste! but I think it was making smth weird in my health :unsure:
-
Try my decaffeinated coffee - a treasure! :)
-
Coffee from spelt wheat is also decaffeinated and have a good taste :)
-
Sorry. Resurrection :-X
I have terribly unimportant news! I started to drink normal coffee again. I just felt I can drink it again and it's awesome. I love coffee! :wub:
-
I love coffee to. :bye:
But I can't drink it cause of my condition
I'm drinking decaf coffee, but it's not the same taste... not nearly...
-
I fell back into the addiction again :blush:
Can't get my morning starting without it! As for my health, so far I haven't had any symptoms like I used to. But if in the future I begin to feel sick again I'll try decaff! Ye..I'm stubborn ^_^
-
All hail to the mighty coffee, The Morningstarter :bow: :pop:
-
I am going to make some coffee...
-
I'm drinking coffe with milk right now..coz I hope it will wake me up a bit..
-
My morning coffee is computer and music + honey :)
-
What about tea?
I drink tea, and it has caffeine too :lol:
-
I drink coffee only when I go to my mountain house in Bosnia. Because that is the only thing people have there. ;D And firewater too, but I'm kind of nonalcoholic. :innocent:
-
I don't drink coffee... :unsure:
Especially not black...
if I drink it (which is almost never), I always have to put some milk into it, even though I don't usually drink milk, cause it makes me sick :wacko:
I cannot understand how people can become addicted to it, cause it doesn't even taste that good...
:tomat: *avoids tomatoes
:biggrin:

Ever heard of caffeine? And do you, by any chance, like Red Bull? :P If the answer is yes, I cannot understand why... :biggrin: :fish:

And what about smoking, Misti?
It smells bad. At least in start.
