For Coffee Lovers

The Coffee Lover's Prayer



Caffeine is my shepherd; I shall not doze.



It maketh me to wake in green pastures:



It leadeth me beyond the sleeping masses.



It restoreth my buzz:

It leadeth me in the paths of consciousness for its name's sake.



Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of addiction,

I will fear no Equal

For thou art with me;

thy cream and thy sugar,

they comfort me.



Thou preparest a carafe before me in the

presence of Thyne Starbucks;

Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over.



Surely richness and taste shall follow me

all the days of my life;

and I will dwell in the House of Mocha

forever.

 

[Richard L]

Amen!



...Rich

 

[Doug Roland]

AMEN!

 

[Kevin Lang]

Not too sure that I'd want to be stuck in Mocha forever.



Yemen doesn't sound like the kinda of place I'd ever even want to set foot in, you know what I mean? :grin:

 

[Robert Thomas]

Throw out the cream and sugar.:throwup: Forget Starbucks.:cheeky: Forget dwelling.:sad:



Then you have a double, AMEN :supercool:

 

[Richard L]

KL,

The "Mocha" mentioned is not a place on a map, it's a state of mind...:grin:

If you are not a coffee lover, you will never understand the emotional attachement.:grin:

I like my coffee black, bold and a little bitter, like my women.



Occasionally, I'll throw in a splash of Coffeemate (my wife loves the stuff) and a couple pinches of Splenda.

I have always said, "I like my coffee like my women....Sweet, Hot and Blonde":grin:

I like my coffee black, bold

Same here. I grind my own. 5 parts Arabaca beans to 2 parts espresso beans. It bites...

 

[Richard L]

Eddie,

I like my coffee strong and rich flavored without bitterness or bite. So, I only use Dark roasted Arabaca beans, either French roast, Italian Espresso, or Dark roast Kona coffee ($35 lb...Ouch$$$) ....When I use pre-ground coffee, I only use Italian Espresso ground. For a change of pace, I occasionally use some Organic grown Ruta Maya, whole bean, Expresso coffee from Mexico which is imported and Dark Espresso roasted right here in Texas.



Other flavors I like occasionally are Mexican coffee with a touch of cinnamon and chocolate. A local supermarket (HEB) sells that here under their brand of "Old San Antonio". They also make an excellent Texas Pecan coffee. :grin:
