What are you drinking right now?

Do I detect a coffee snob?Otis Westinghouse wrote: Blue, it pains me to read this. I beg you to not ruin decent coffee this way and try it black. A little sugar if you must, but none of this other stuff. Trust me.
I think it's a matter of opinion, really - in the same way that some would argue the only real way to have a pizza is with just tomato sauce, mozarella and a bit of basil. I can drink coffee black, but I find a touch of skim milk usually mellows it a bit without compromising the flavour. The vanilla soy was a recent discovery and is very much an occasional thing. I never put sugar in my coffee or tea though... too sweet.
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.

Lion Kona Coffee - pitch black - the way it was intended!
My father gets shipments of this stuff a few times a year and always provides me with a few bags. Some of it is the flavored stuff - macadamia, vanilla, etc. - but I like the 100% Kona the best. Just hitting my caffeine rush now.

Water. Hand drawn from the tap in the sink into a cherished 1/2 gallon gatorade bottle, chilled to 45 degrees and lovingly poured into last year's "summer" plastic cup. The one with blue and green fish swimming on it..
BTW, I made oily slick drink a shitload of Southpaw the other night. I assume he still has the souvenir headache.

Are you trying to wind me up? Fair dues, you reserve the right to pollute the finest non-alcoholic drink civilisation ever happened upon with whatever you choose. Coffee snob, moi? Well I will only drink it black and strong, and all tea black too.RedShoes wrote:Coffee. With the same vanilla soy milk as Blue used yesterday. From a giant Disney-themed mug.
I'm also a sherry snob. Pathetically associated with blue rinse aunts over here, but in the south of Spain it's what the boys drink. Am on La Gitana manzanilla. Lovely. Manzanilla is like fino, i.e. bone dry, but comes from Sanlúcar de Barrameda as opposed to Jeréz, and the coastal vineyards impart an extra salt tang. Lovely stuff. I need to finish the bottle before heading to northern Spain on hol on Thurs, it just won't be fresh enough a week later, so I just have to keep on at it...

I'm in the black coffee club as well, though I will occasionally get a latte or a cappuccino (the one I have in front of me is a bit less photogenic, in a paper cup) and skim milk *is* best for that-- makes the best foam. Otherwise, strong black coffee + skim milk = hot greeny-brown stuff. And I can't can't can't abide sugar in coffee or tea.
Peet's coffee is my fave.

And did you manage to drink more than one bottle without wanting to beat anybody up?PlaythingOrPet wrote:I'm in the middle of a cold bottle of Stella Artois.
I am currently drinking coffee from our work's Flavia machine. It's OK.
White and sweet. Just like my women.

I've spent a week on this:
Well not on it, cos I was driving a hired car, but having enough on outings annd then eating loads and getting all safe and sober before driving again. Cider is the standard drink in Asturias, north-west Spain. grapes don't grow well there. It's lovely stuff, and correctly poured from a metre or so from the glass. They thow away the remnants of the last glass and pour it on the floor a lot, though I got pretty shit-hot with my technique after a week and wasted almost none on my last night.
The height gives some extra life and bubble to it. It goes well with food, is a bit like real English cider, very pure and natural. Costs about 3 euros for a 75cl bottle!
