Coffee or Tea? - Page 2 - Blu-ray Forum

I drink not just coffee, but espresso, cappuccino, and lattés from my Impressa S9 Avantgarde from Jura Capresso. I also love to drink Cuban and Greek coffee. But, never tea!

Starbuck's coffee beans are burned. All varieties. Burned beans all taste the same. Good for marketing. Like American light lager beer.

have you ever had coffee in Bangkok? they make it with this crazy bunsen burner right in front of you. water, glass bubbles, coffee, and fire. i thought they were about to serve me crystal meth. water goes up, and coffee comes down.

I also love tea. I got the official "Diggnation tea" and it was really good

I don't have sugar in my tea. Makes it taste...sweet or something. Not what tea's about, really.

MadScientist · 06-08-2008, 03:38 AM

When I travel to Sweden to see family they love coffee too. They say that the average American drinks what they call angel piss for the coffee is so weak that it must have come out of an angel (lol).

Cedric: Milk?
Adelaide: Certainly not, filthy stuff, most unhealthy!
Cedric: Sugar?
Adelaide: Six, if you please

Coffee in the morning. Tea in the afternoon.

U4K61 · 06-08-2008, 10:39 PM

Coffee. Just about any kind as long it not the warmed over bitter brew that they sometimes serve on airlines.

JasonR · 06-08-2008, 11:24 PM

Where can you find a good gourmet coffee shop online, with a variety of beans from different countries. I have ordered Kona beans from a farm in Hawaii before, but have never known of a good online retailer for good beans.

rubberghost · 06-08-2008, 11:30 PM

i was in Cusco, Peru and they give you a cup of hot water, and what looks like a tiny pitcher of black ink. you pour the ink,(concentrated coffee), into the cup of water. adjust as needed to suit your taste. pretty f'ing cool.

Slackr89 · 06-09-2008, 01:31 AM

coffee but only rarely and only at tim hortons

LynxFX · 06-09-2008, 02:25 AM

Neither, good ol nonfat milk. Or sometimes chocolate milk, or hot cocoa.

Never liked the taste of coffee and tea, not my flav either.

I have been to Peru. But I diden't go for coffee - it was coca tea made with the real thing from the coca plant. Kind of gives you a jolt like Red Bull, only stronger. I had it when I went to Cusco for the altitude. When I drank it, we had an earthquake a few minutes later. For a few seconds I thought it was the stuff I was drinking before I realised what was happening. Funny, but true. I have been to Peru twice, will have to ask my Peruvian friends about this coffee - interesting.

Not sure.... but we came back from Hawai'i with 6lbs of Kona beans..... it's so freakin' expensive here, but we have our local coffee shop order it for us, and they give us a price break for ordering 3 or 4 lbs at a time....

I NEVER go to starbucks.

Ferris · 06-09-2008, 02:22 PM

Coffee, for me.

I gave up coffee for Lent one year, and drank tea every morning, instead. I got so sick of tea. I just can't seem to get sick of coffee, for which I am extremely happy!

Also, when my in-laws come down from Canada, they bring a big tub of Tim Horton's coffee!!! Man, that is SO GOOD!

Sabian576 · 06-09-2008, 05:17 PM

I've tried REALLY hard to like coffee, but just can't. I love my Teas though.
