Darksider,

Do you like your coffee dark like your name?

[The Burgomaster]

Coffee has very little effect on me.  For years, I drank it at work out of habit.  About 10 cups every day . . . maybe more.  But I only drank it at work.  If I was at home or on vacation, I would rarely drink coffee (maybe a cup with breakfast, but some days I didn't even have one cup).  I never noticed a difference if I had 10 cups or zero cups.  I can also drink coffee late at night and go right to sleep.  I've cut down quite a bit recently.  Sometimes I drink decaf or no coffee at all.  But I don't come anywhere near 10 cups a day anymore.

Darksider,

No but I like it black like my men.  (that joke never gets old to me)

My ode to coffee, well kinda.  Short film I did a few months ago:

Coming from an Eastern European family full of mad, chauvinistic violent ethnic nutballs, I grew up on coffee.  Been drinking the thick Turkish coffee in demi-tasse cups since I was about 12 years old.  And I mean coffee so thick you could stand up your spoon in it. 

One thing that always brings a smile to my face:  a well made cup of coffee.

One that that always makes me scream with rage:  a badly made cup of coffee.

Living in this country we are absolutely spoiled for choice when it comes to good coffee.  Even the tiniest little hole in the wall street coffee cart serves up a cup that the Gods themselves would weep over.

Okay, so I'm waxing lyrical a little, but it's no word of a lie.  I always buy my own beans and brew a pot at home.  So if any of you are at my end the world, you're very welcome at my place to try a smashing cuppa joe.

When I was in Turin in 2003 for a conference, they served coffee so strong and dark you could dye your socks in it.  It was good though but the Fanta orange they served tasted like p*ss.

Okay Trevor, I don't even want to know how you know what p*ss tastes like   

For my own sanity's sake I'll just pretend it's one of those logical assumption  things

I'm more of a Hot Chocolate person.

Same here, though I do like some PJ's frozen blends-http://www.pjscoffee.com/coffee

Nasty foul smelling stuff . . . give me DR PEPPER, the true nectar of the gods!!!!

I like Dr Pepper as well, but I like Barq's Root Beer just a tad bit more.

Whimper.... Forget  Manard's fascination, I'm hooked.  Anatomy is anatomy, coffee is forever.

I the strip of civilization from Eugene Oregon to VAncouver BC, sublime coffee is easily available, and I don't mean in stores featuring a badly drawn mermaid iover the door. 


Coffee, fog, fruit and beer, its why I live where I do.

Those are all reasons why I love the PNW. I do want to move there one day. The microbrews I drank steadily while in Portland and Eugene were wonderful.
