COFFEEs and CIGARS. I need COFFEE
Tonight I pulled a ROCKY PATEL SUN GROWN ROBUSTO, review is here
There was something lacking with this smoke...As I thought and thought about the flavor of the smoke all I could think about was COFFEE. I just know that this stick NEEDS coffee to accompany it so the stick can be complete. As I'm thinking of what kind of coffee it occurs to me that I don't KNOW COFFEE AT ALL. Coffee that I drink is man made flavored HAZELNUT coffee with LOTS of sugar and HAZELNUT cream from WAWA. This isn't coffee! It is some sort of abomination to the taste buds. I'll be reviewing...NO! STUDYING! the various posts chock full of info on COFFEE...preparation, types, presentation...of COFFEE. I'll be going down the path searching for the PRESS????OR the MOKOPOT???? as the means to fulfilling my need for COFFEE. I am man enough to show what passes for my COFFEE EQUIPMENT. I know that the EXPERIENCED COFFEE folk will say that I need to start from scratch with my coffees and equipment to create the coffee. Mr Coffee Maker, Hazelnut flavored coffee, measuring ladle, coffee from the freezer. (Storage in the freezer? I dunno.) Whirleybird grinder...I know! I know!..a BURR GRINDER...sigh... Coffee PRESS? or/and a Bialli??? MOKOPOT??? I know there are BOTLs out here who have the experience of making different types and methods of creating the coffee. I will be searching for you...Mr Moo....and others...who have posted their experiences with COFFEE. A WHOLE NEW WORLD AWAITS ME... I nubbed the RPSGR Tom And so it begins...a PATH to COFFEE and the many varieties and tastes/textures that COFFEE has to offer. (chock full of info...all pun intended) hahahahahahaha |

Re: COFFEEs and CIGARS. I need COFFEE
um...those beans weren't roasted by yourself or a botb? WTF?? DUDE...
I hear ya though, a good coffee, or abomination rocks with some cigars. Currently I'm working on pairing some apple cider to cigars...not an easy task but I'm up for it. If you can try a San CristobalSAN CRISTOBAL El Principe or La Flor Dbl Ligero Chisel Gordo. I had both of these with freshly roasted coffee, less than a week old. You can find this at whole foods stores and other places that have "organic" foods...though I don't agree with the organic name, it's good and fresh. |

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Coffee is a ritual for me. There is not a SINGLE day that goes by where I don't have any coffee... Usually a pot a day or so, but I can stop anytime I want

Re: COFFEEs and CIGARS. I need COFFEE
Coffee taste, like cigars, are a matter of personal likes and dislikes. And it doesn't have to be fresh, hand roasted in your home or cost of $10 a lb to taste good. It just depends on what you like.
I live in Louisiana but I hate anything that has chicory in it. My favorite "store brand" is the Eight O'Clock 100% Colombian beans that I grind at home. I also like the Luzianne Medium Roast that is roasted here in Louisiana. And I like it strong and black. No sugar.

HEY! I never said anything about how I like my women! I prefer them sweet and creamy.
