COFFEE AND MARIJUANA

I never figured out why people hang out at starbucks, but the actual coffee is good.
Once in a while I buy a cup of their drip coffee. Learned the hard way that you've gotta give it a sniff to make sure it's fresh.
I've rejected at least a half dozen that were old & nasty. (I'm picky)

Believe it or not I usually buy most of my coffee at Marshalls. They usually got good organic yirgacheffes for like $8. They actually have a ton of good exotic organic coffees.

I’ve tried it a few different times, I figure a lot of people swear by it so it must be good, nope don’t like bitter coffee.. maybe it’s not fresh? Idk. I grew up on Folgers so maybe that’s it.. now I drink this at home.. 57446E10-619F-4D7F-B6AC-8AD0A826A162.png

How about I stop by for herb & pretend I like your coffee. :eyesmoke:

We had a coffee maker at Ft Sheridan called "the missile silo".
It was a giant percolator that made the worst coffee known to man...

Black is the only way for me, but I'm picky.
Cheap coffee like Folgers & Maxwell House is disgusting. :spew:
I like Maxwell House Colombian blend. Hate any kind of Folgers. I love 8 coffee Columbian blend. I like to grind my own beans now and again but I don't get to do it too often anymore. My old tattoo artist shop was right beside a coffee shop and his wife worked there. She would bring me all kinds of dark roast beans and give them to me for free they were great

Tomorrow is the usual BFO Sunday market in Antwerp, the Vogelmarkt. Plan is I get out and about for mobility since the weather is supposed to be wonderful tomorrow so that also means a beer in the sun somewhere.

I know there will be a kilo or two of beans bought from one stand that's there every week.

We don't have any instant coffee here, we have a grinder, a decent sized filter set and refillable pods for the Dolce Gusto (easy once you know how much to throw in and how to tamp it down) as well as the "day to day" pre-ground stuff that's decent wrt acidity/taste and cost at all times. minimum 4kg of coffee is the available norm here, mix of the "cheap but good enough" pre-ground and the "worth every cent at €15 per kilo" beans.

The one thing I will not allow is zero caffeine available, last time I tried that the cats in the place I was living in didn't want to come into the same room and they were at the least risk. Worst week of my life.

Just a quick story I'm not a big coffee shop type of guy but I love coffee. Well whenever I was getting a tattoo one day I had my friend go next door to the shop and I told him I wanted a Colombian coffee. I gave him $20 cuz that's all I had on me four twenties. Told him to get him something to well I told him I wanted a large Columbian. 20 minutes later he comes in with this tiny little cup and hands it to me. I stare at him and say what the hell is this. He said this is what you ordered and so did my tattoo artist. Well my tattoo artist knew that I drink a lot of coffee. And he knew damn well I didn't ever order an expresso or anything of the sorts from his wife shop. Well come to find out a Colombian on that particular day and in that coffee shop what some sort of super caffeine shot that tasted like s*** and cost me $18 and it literally was about half of a drink of coffee. Thing is I've ordered from there before and just say Colombian coffee. I guess he just said Colombian and that's what I got. The tattoo artist said, oh man this is going to wake you up you're going to feel so good blah blah blah. Cuz I just got off of work from the coal mines mind you this is the morning I work night shift. Well 2 finish this long story I got ripped off almost $20 on some bulshit thing call the Columbian that absolutely did nothing for me except what to drink a coffee and wash the taste out of my mouth. And by the way where I live I literally can think of two coffee shops within 60 miles so we're not very well versed on the ins and outs of coffee around here LOL

One supermarket chain had a Colombian blend that I got to the absolute perfect strength in a cafetiere, after mug number 4 it would release every pleasure chemical in my brain but without the "hyperactivity" associated with caffeine. Others would be bouncing around like jackrabbits on speed and acid with one mug, I'd be sitting there so chilled and relaxed.

That's addiction for you

Been there, wait until you waken up at 2am and can't get back to sleep without caffeine.

Managed to wean myself back from there, took a while but I can now go two days without coffee. Even the cats gave me one of those "Are you REALLY that crazy" looks when I suggested trying three days and SWMBO vetoed it even though I thought I was fine...

I'm going to brew up right after I roll up, nothing special, store breakfast blend of Colombian

If it ever warms up in New England I take this morning ritual to the back deck, and eventually to the beach, often as iced coffee (but never my first cup)

I'm with @jerryb73, the donut shop k-cups are my thing.

I walk past the head into the galley and turn it on, then back to the bathroom for AM constitutional and shower. I like my dugout and my coffee to both be on hot standby as soon as I emerge from the head.

I typically grab my mug and dugout then head out to visit my plants for feeding, tending, etc. Unless I'm on my scooter out on a run this will be how I spend every morning of the rest of my life. I think it's perfect.

Strange, the little rituals that we settle into.

Coffee is never a mere "ritual", it's a necessity.


I think the only drug that is more addictive is nicotine, that says everything
