Coffee
« on: December 31, 2009, 11:52:06 AM »
So... we're all big strapping man's men that drink our camping coffee, Turkish style, and chew the grounds stoically. =D

That being said... what's your favorite stuff to put in coffee?

This week, I've been on a condensed milk kick.  Got turned onto it by a vietnamese girlfriend back in college and I probably crack a can of condensed milk once a year.  I usually get through about half the can before I get tired of it, though.  It's really sweet.

My mom makes some REALLY great kahlua.  She gives a bottle to everyone "of age" each year for Christmas.

I tend to not do the whiskey thing.  I drink coffee in the morning and I don't like the idea of breaking open "real" alcohol that early.  Kahlua is one thing... whiskey another.

What about the rest of APS?  Any neat coffee additives?

Okay, I'll be non-manly. I use non-fat half & half and Stevia. I just got a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas and have actually shelved the French Press. They make a K-cup by Coffee people called "Donut Shop", and that plus my additives is just like having Dunkin' Donuts coffee (which we don't have here) in the morning.

Got a Keurig a few months ago.   I like the Donut Shop coffee also.   The Timothy's Italian Blend and the Van Houtte Columbian are my current favorites however.

My normal additive is half&half, but I have been known to throw a splash of Bailey's Irish Cream in on occasion. =D

First off I start off with fresh ground, then I "ruin it" ,according to some, with coffee mate.
I've been hooked on their Creme Brulee flavor for some time.. although the new chocolate toffee is really good.
Especially when I blend the CB and CT together.  I prefer my first cup sweeter than the following two.
I'm also a fan of just straight half and half with a tad bit of sugar. 
My manliness shines when I munch on straight beans, especially when they are coated with chocolate :)
The only coffee I ENJOY black is fresh roasted fresh ground.

I've been experimenting and though I don't want to have to admit it because of the marketing gimmick, "Newman's Own" Extra Bold is also a REALLY great cup of coffee.

Also Coffee People's Jet Fuel if you want a quick pick-me-up. :)

Usually black.  Sometimes (33%) with a dollop of heavy cream.  I'll have to try the condensed milk.
If it's the nasti stuff from the devils-lung coffee pot at work, I might pour in some granulated sugar.

IMO, a good cup of coffee needs nothing.

Whole milk, from a little up to cafe au lait (1/2 milk).  The stronger the coffee, the more milk I can tolerate.

Guilty of Coffeemate here.  Usually French Vanilla.  I prefer a little sugar, but somehow I'm too lazy to add sugar.  I mean, it requires the use of a spoon.

Wow, I sound really lazy.  

Someday when I have more time, I'll start making vanilla sugar to add to my coffee with half and half.  

Occasionally cafe au lait, but only when I want to have some real food (to the extent milk qualifies as real food) with my coffee.  Cafe au lait with beignet on my upcoming New Orleans trip.

I drink my coffee black.  The wife fills her cup 90% with International Delight french vanilla creamer, and adds a few drops of coffee for color.  :laugh:

But I actually do take my drip or press coffee black.  I have been enjoying some eggnog lattes for the past month while the eggnog is out.

I like cheap diner coffee, black... maybe a smidge of sugar if I'm feeling wild.

I've got some egg nog left over from Christmas.  I wonder how that would taste added to coffee?


Oops, that's what I get for not reading all the posts.  I missed your's about the eggnog, MillCreek.

At home, I take my coffee black.

At work, I'll cut the nasty icky starbucks bitterness with some sucrose and a dash of sodium chloride.

When camping, the coffee is dosed with a healthy shot of Barenjager or Navan liqueur.
