Coffee snob here. Jamaica Blue Mountain is the preferred drink in much the same way that scotch lovers argue over the merits of single malt versus blended, but I can slide all the way down the scale to Maxwell House, or even Luzianne if I'm getting desperate (again, much the same way an alcoholic will go from drinking high class hooch down to Pabst Blue Ribbon or [fill in your local watered-down barleypop here]). Tes is also welcome, and I join with the chorus on the graphic! Rick Dawsons last blog post..Lives In The Balance

[...] Monica at Paper Bridges was speculating the other day about whether making coffee could be considered a spiritual gift. I’m here to tell you that I was the recipient of some serious hospitality in the form of a hot beverage last night, and I have no doubt that the giver is spiritually gifted. The venue: trick-or-treating; the beverage: hot spiced cider with a splash of rum. Certainly cheered me up! [...]

Ha! You finally used the graphic! LOVE IT!

I’m seriously thinking of having it blown up into a poster and framing it for my kitchen.

While I love a spendy brew, I’m happy with Folgers et al via Kroger (and so’s my budget). I DO insist, however, on a coffee maker w/a thermal pot. Overcooked coffee is a big no-no!

Oh, and when I get a bit jittery from chugging too much java, I sip some Earl Grey or Constant Comment Tea instead.

Love me some caffeinated hot bevs!

I’ve liked coffee ever since I was a little kid. When we visited my grandparents, my Grandad would swoop my sister and me out of the car the instant we arrived, carry us to the kitchen, sit us on the counter, and make all three of us a cup of (okay brace yourself) a cup of Folger’s instant with a LOT of sugar and evaporated milk. (I hope you didn’t faint.) It drove my mother crazy. Maybe that’s why he did it. Anyway, I developed a tast for it when I was young and I still like it. (though I lost my taste for it while pregnant) I now have problems with “the jitters” and not sleeping well so I have to drink the unleaded kind. It tastes nasty but I’ll still have a cup ever now and then. I wish I could make a good cup of coffee. Starbucks is great but I still have a strange liking for instant Folgers with lots of sugar and canned milk.

Hey, Monica! Tea first thing in the AM. Warning…do not lay hands on my grinder and beans! I lo-v-e my fresh-ground hazelnut coffee mid-morning and afternoon, with half-and-half and a little sugar, thank you very much! However, when I’m sick, I want my tea! Fun post! Thanks!

I am definitely a coffee snob, but I don’t roast our beans. Perhaps dh and I need to look into this coffee roasting thing…hmm…

Yup, we coffee drinkers are serious about our java. Feener, you just need to have a decent cup made for you, then I’m sure you’ll join us on the Dark Side.

Marcus… could we pass coffee making off as a spiritual gift??

i have had coffee post in my head for a long time now. i am an ice t drinker and i have sipped coffee by accident and hate it. hubby is a coffee lover. his addiction has caused some problems. having to stop before during and after any trip we take. dragging around on the weekend b/c he needs more coffee. UGH. i talked with a friend about it and she had said she would prefer to marry out of her religion than marry someone who didn't share her addiction to coffee. feeners last blog post..Sensory Processing Disorder

I’m both a coffee lover and a coffee snob. If money were no object, I’d be a total snob. But I’ve gone months on Folgers too.

Lately, I’ve been grinding fresh beans every morning. The idea of roasting my own sounds good, that’s for sure.

The real evidence of my snobbery, though, lies in the fact that Ramblin Dan and I leave 30 minutes early for every meeting in San Antonio–just so we can stop at our favorite coffee shop there: Wildfire Coffee Roasters.

I think they will probably still be making coffee in heaven.

Robin,

I’m just as lazy as you; it’s my hubs who buys, roasts and stores the coffee. The man is obsessed, I tell you. Me? I LOVE obsessed.

Monica,

I should’ve known…you’re more serious about coffee than me! I’m too lazy to roast my own beans, though for a season, we ground them.

LOVE your graphic–absolutely hilarious and spot on for rabid coffee drinkers . And re: the church thing? I bring my own from home; when it gets cold, I pretend iced coffee is okay, too.

Think I’ll stumble you for even MORE insanity!

Satchel, you poor dear. Suffering with lukewarm tea. The inhumanity!

I’ve seen folks try to make tea in a MICROWAVE. Scary. My British grandfather would be horrified to witness such a thing.

Tea at home (I would have *loved* to help judge your siblings' tea contest!). Mostly coffee out, as even if it's monkey pee (LOL!), it's bound to be better than a Lipton's tea bag dunked in a carafe of lukewarm bathwater. Whatever, so long as it's hot and full of that magical caffeiney goodness! Satchel Poochs last blog post..Fret fret fret

Coffee every morning. Tea every afternoon. I don’t roast my own beans. I’ve considered it, but I’m not sure I’m ready to commit yet b/c of time.
And I agree–church’s butcher God’s beautiful creation every Sunday morning inside those coffeepots.
Oh, I have a drop of honey and a little cream in my coffee (and the same for my tea, as long as I’m drinking English tea, although sometimes I use sugar–when I drink Green tea, which is my summer tea, I drink it either plain or with a drop of honey).
Local honey to ward of allergies.
