What do you order at the coffee house?

Are you an espresso counter latte-mocha kind of person? Or brewed coffee?

I invariably go for brewed coffee except around Christmas when I am inexplicably drawn to nutmeg-y, sugar-y mocha concoctions.

oh i hate that sugary shit. i'd rather be honest with myself and eat cookies, rather than have a pastry incorporated into the cup.

when i was a coffee drinker i was a double espresso kind of guy, and when i smoked it was a double americano w/ half the water (last longer, for a couple of smokes). sometimes i'd add a little half and half but rarely sugar.

I normally hate it, too. But like I say, for some reason I don't understand, I crave it around the winter holidays. I drink it like crazy for about three weeks, then stop.

I think it goes back to that bully in 2nd grade who told me about Santa Claus.

oh. see, when november comes & the weather starts getting chilly, i begin to crave BACON. other times of the year i have little use for it.

Like the people in line sometimes who've never been to a coffee place before... "I'll take a regular coffee." "Uh, sir, we have 10 choices of brewed coffee, ranging from dark to light, and we have an espresso bar where--" "No, no, just regular coffee, please."

A Thousand Threads · 07.12.2007, 10:07 AM

Cafe Legere

jon boy · 07.12.2007, 10:08 AM

i have a problem with the way "regular" coffee is brewed in america. it's watery & lacks taste.

HOWEVER i'll drink a "regular" coffee if it's a dark & smoky brew, like a french roast.

yes. i do love dark roasts. light roasts have too much acidity & demand spoonfuls of sugar, and what's the fun of that syrupy goo?

Cantankerous · 07.12.2007, 10:17 AM

even the coffee in the airport is good in france. and you can smoke right out in the open in the airport.

gmku · 07.12.2007, 10:40 AM

The French live right.

gmku · 07.12.2007, 10:41 AM

I'm going for my coffee fix now. I may or may not be back, depending on how rough the homeless bunch is today out on the ped mall.

Don't worry, all the ones worth talking to speak English anyway.

Orange Juice.

gmku · 07.12.2007, 10:56 AM

That's good. I tried my French out on a Parisian store clerk (and not the friendliest looking woman, either) to ask for the time, and got the nastiest look you can imagine.
