Feel free to talk about it here. I don't drink the stuff but my cooworkers are addicts and always have a pot brewing. I see cans of Bustelo (crap?), bags of Starbucks and Mini-Moo's all over the place.

Actually, I just needed a place to post this cool pic

I have a Keurig machine. Coffee in 9.2 seconds. It's great. I need two of those K-cups to fill my morning jug. I figure it costs me about 50 cents a day.

French press. Only organic fair trade beans. Only fresh roasted beans (any more than 7 days is not fresh). Only Fresh ground beans as well.
We used to roast our own beans. Cut the price in half but was a big time investment.
I take my coffee seriously.

is there any good OTC O FT coffee? I'm thinking about having a cup in the mornings.

Over The Counter Organic Fair Trade

my wife was doing research for her dissertation on FT and developing economies. Short story long: she interviewed dozens of companies and we got a ton of free coffee and coco from around the world (ok Africa and S. America). But now we are all out

so whats good?

NORCAL is the hizzle
Regular drip with frenchly roasted dark italian from a local roaster who uses fair trade beans. I grind a 1/2 pound at a time - marginally superior flavor notwithstanding, before I've had my coffee I can't handle the sound of a coffee grinder, nor do I wish to deal with a press.

I waste $2 a day on Starbucks. It's close, it's just a fun habit.

Super cool pic BTW... What are the odds of that happening?

I had to look it up.

Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South. Fair Trade Organizations, backed by consumers, are engaged actively in supporting producers, awareness raising and in campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade. Fair Trade products are produced and traded in accordance with these principles — wherever possible verified by credible, independent assurance systems.

Wife bought me one of those and subscribes to the coffee club thing. I get three new boxes every month. They have teas and cocoa K cups too. Love that thing.

We have some service at the new job with this big rack of individual packs of ground coffee that you toss into this machine, I saw Milky Way flavor and kept walking. I'm 50 yards from 2 Starpricks, but have been going to this mom and pop shop on "campus". Cool owner and OK coffee for a buck less.

I drink Kona Coffee I buy at Aldi's supermarkets. I like it and it's only $4/lb so I'm pretty happy with it and it lasts me about a month. Honestly coffee is coffee I don't care about taste.

The guy in my office buys 25lbs of coffee at a time. I don't see the point.

In honor of this thread, I walked over to the coffee machine and poured myself a cup of Starbucks. This will be my first cup in 2 years. Post your coffee!

Damn you SS for posting that crema.:disgust1:
My Saeco Espresso machine died a couple years back.
And my broke ass still has not got another one.
I only miss the straight stuff.:clapping:

As far as Coffee, about my favorite subject, well, I love it.
And I am the first person to give snobs $hit, especially beer snobs.
White trash beverage + snobbery = pure humor.
That said, I use to consider myself a coffee snob.
I only really like coffee from a french press, freshly ground, and with a dark greasy roast.
And as much as I drink that can get expensive.
Then, I found the awesome at the most surprising place.
Sam's Club sells a 40 oz bag of whole bean, dark french roast, greasy good coffee for $13. They are fair trade beans and I swear its good coffee.
And the saddest part is, I drink so much coffee that I can take out the 40oz bag while it is still fresh. :hmm:

2 packs of generic pink non-sugar anti-bittering agent and some dark stuff, presumeable coffe, more likely squeezings from the janitors rag, found in the coffee pot by my cubicle.

i did for a few weeks, and it was stunning. no need for coffee... or monster, or food, or sleep. i turned into Beavis in Cornholio mode for a few weeks. the bottle is empty now, and i need more drugs.
