Coffee

I'm a cappaccino gal, I can't gather a liking to coffee...

Coffees good it keeps the arteries unclogged :p

Welcome to the forums Ingenieur! Gee, are you french? Or speak french?

Gimme coffee in any form! Coffee, Esspresso, Buzzbombs, scraping the grounds out of the filter with my bare hands and shoveling them down my throat!!! Ok so maybe not that last one, but coffee, yeah! Oh and Amuse, I totally know what you're talking about. I drink about a pot of Denny's breakfast blend a night.

IWilKikU - exactly... just enjoying one... I also agree with Ingenieur... one of the things that make me really happy. I mean what can be better than to wake up in the morning take news and put legs on the chair and smells the wonderful coffee air in the room, sensing the wonderful morning sunshine from the window and listening to simply nothing, since there is still no television, no cars outside... nothing... just me and my coffee :cool:

well this sounds as a marketing story to sell coffee... but I just like it.. this reminds me, do you, any of you, have some funny story, either from life or fiction, about coffee? maybe we can try to create some :))) like

"I woke up in one of the hard raining moments. I looked out of window and the darkness of the clouds reminded me the color of coffee... I was half asleep but I decided to take a coffee anyway. I prepared delicious coffee, weak one intending to go back to sleep... put in four spoons of sugar, to have sweet dreams... waiting in the darkness, listening to rain was so calm... it made me feel asleep. so, "coffee time and straight back to bed" I thought to myself...I took big swallow (if this is the word) of coffee... coffee pouring down my throat, delicious coffee, my coffee, coffee with a lot of sugar... glass almost empty.... :sick: never knew how long can be the way to toilet... there was salt instead of sugar" ;) this was just created, came to my mind... never happened to me, I never use sugar (no wonder why :lol: )

I´m addicted. But I try to cut down. My stomach couldn´t take it. It is a weak, pathetic little body part. After drinking about two liters of black coffee every day a for cuople of years, it gave up on me. I use milk now. And sometimes I drínk ... I can hardly speak the words... herbal thea. *sobs*

Joy is a triple espresso.

:) herbal tea is yummy.

I understand your point Isagel, something I feel I will not stand coffee no more and then... the wonderful smell of it...
to be honest it all started two years ago, when I quit smoking... I guess my body needs something to rely on ;)

herbal tea is great, yummy... I still drink herbal tea, but more mineral water, quicker to prepare it.

what about to vote for the most delicious tea?

I'm really addicted to gatig.(nor coffee, neigher tea) You don't know what it is. It's like sour-cream, but very liquid , very tasty than it and very usefull for stomach , too. It's good that i can make it myself.

Is it like yoghurt? We have a lot of different "sour -milk- products" here. I eat it for breakfast with cornflakes and fruit.

oh I know what you mean (at least I hope so). I buy some, not regurarly, but when it comes to my mind. True is also that it is rather expensive solution over here, considering possibility to buy it everyday :mad: but I like it. and you know what? I am buying white yoghurts regurarly for one month now, so I guess that the time to switch coffee for sth is near.... aaaaaahhhhhhhh, no please....

I'm sure that you don't know what it's. My friend is in Europe and he wrote that it's not prodused there and asked me for its recept. It isn't sweet. I like to have it after meals. Some our national meals can't be eaten without it.
If you mix it with water and add salt you would get another drink "ayran". And it's most cool drink I've ever had.
If you put some syrup into it you would get tasty youghurt.

It can help, even save your life in that situation when you have something wrong food. (what a terrible structure)

Ok, I can tell how to make it. It's simple. Take one pot of boiled milk, add into it some sour-cream (which is for salad), cover that pot with towel and keep it in normal temperature for 12-16 hours. Then take off towel and put it into refrigarotor. Your gatig is ready.

wauuuuu, sour cream sounds horrible, but well. will try it. certainly it is not what I thought.I would never willingly pay for it :) kidding. I will try it as soon as I live on my own... next week ( :banana: ) I will send you my feelings on it. but I like the way you describe it. I just hope I understand well what is sour cream, otherwise I might have very interesting experience :D

Horrible? If you think that sour-cream for salad is "mayonez" (I don't know its translation, but it's also used for salad) then that's not what I meant. My sour-cream is an ordinary sour-cream. And gatig is maden only from that one.
Some advise: Milk mustn't be hot and very cold, normal temperature. harf glass of sour-milk will be enough for 1,5 litres of milk.

I'm waiting for your feelings with curiosity. But I can guess them right now. I'm sure 100% that you'll make it wrong and your feelings will be terrible.
I just remembered my first trying. :lol:

Good luck, eva!

I love coffee, so…

Come and hear this tune that I wrote this afternoon:

Zing – Zing – Zing
Buzz – Buzz – Buzz
Gimme – Gimme – Gimme
Coffee for me, Coffee for you, Coffee – Coffee for everybody
I’ve gotta gotta got’sta have COFFEE
- Yeah baby

Black coffee, creamy coffee, coffee with little bitty bits of chocolate

French Coffee, Italian Coffee, Irish Coffee Hmmm

Espresso, Cappuccino, Macchiato, Americano

Gimme-dat, gimme-dat, gimme some of dat …. Heavenly bean… ee-ee-ee-ean

Coffee from: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Colombia, hmm

Coffee from: Mexico, Arabia, India, Africa hmm

Coffee from: Kauai, Kona, Ethiopia – Utopia hmm

Buzz – Buzz – Buzz
Gimme – Gimme – Gimme
Coffee for me, Coffee for you, Coffee – Coffee for everybody
I’ve gotta gotta got’sta have COFFEE
-Yeah baby.


OK, so it’s not much of a tune but I have an excuse: I’ve been bouncing off the walls since my fourth cup-o-joe today.

LOL You have such little faith in us. :D You know us too well.
I'm interested in trying just to see what it is. But I'm crossing my fingers that your sour cream is the same as my sour cream, because I've never heard of it being used for salad. Salad dressing here is usually olive oil with vinegar.
