    One shot of Dharkan from my little Pixie. They were out of Cuban the other day. :thumbsdown: They did try to push the leftover Apfelstrudel flavored espresso from Christmas. :sick:

    a good online vendor for fresh roasted coffee w/ a roasted date, not used-by date, around $50+ shipped for 5 lbs:

    I've ordered from RB many times, mostly their espresso blends but others as well. Roast is on the medium side but *$ has made that extremely confusing. For me, anytime there's oil on the beans, it's too darkly roasted.

    Not the "splash of coffee" lovers thread. Take that foo-foo chocolate shite and dump it.
    Show us a picture of some steaming black coffee with an oil slick floating on top!

    Dissenter alert... Loved the daily evacuation, euphoria and corporate team-building*, but not the effect on BP, bruxism, alcohol intake and sleep.

    I drink a cup or two a year now, and thoroughly enjoy it. Daily, green tea works for us. It's nice to make one beverage instead of two in the AM. :)

    Okay, I'll STFU now.

    Intrigued! I buy Lavazza espresso from Amazon, as I like the price and pour. Good crema from the RB espresso?

    I've started looking into roasting my own coffee beans, so maybe I will turn into a coffee connoisseur cough cough snob, cough cough :laugh:

    @Mikie I've been drinking coffee since I was about 7 years old, thanks to grandma. I don't recommend it to just anyone because it will stunt your growth like it did me :whistling:
    And no, I'm not talking mental growth either :ninja:

    CT, freshly roasted will have the most and some coffee use some robusta for added crema.

    After years of doing this and that I ended up just french pressing every morning. Right now just drinking Peets Major Dickason..I do like the stuff from Polly's in Long Beach..at work it comes down to a matter of convinience but have been drinkin SF Bay FR..and mentioning Keurig is possibly verboten here, but imho it'e pretty good for a k-cup. (feel free to edit image size..dunno how to do it here)

    Nothing wrong with a good french press... It's a nice change from the usual espresso rituals.

    Nothing fancy, we just use our Keurig K-cup brewer. I prefer Pete's French/dark roast and I've got to have my cinnamon/vanilla creamer.

    I frequent SB for Cafe Mochas and Vanilla lattes. I laugh to myself inside when some geeky youngster in front of me in line takes 30 seconds to say their order (triple pump caramel latte, with an extra shot, not too hot, not too cool, extra whip, no foam, half full in a grande cup, over ice).

    You're already ordering Mochas and Lattes. It's a short step to determining what type of milk, how hot and how many pumps of whatnot you want. Then YOU will be that guy!

    Me, I proudly order my Grande Chai Tea Latte with 5 pumps of Chai, extra hot. Then, it's off to pilates, a mani-pedi and a musical.

    Now where did I leave my murse?

    Or is it a satchel?

    LOL!!! They know me well enough so that I rarely even have to tell them what I want but I do request "no foam" (cafe mocha) every time. Other than that, I like those drinks the way they come.
