Coffee Rant.

[Cardinal Fang]

Sorry but I need to get this off my chest.

Is it too much to ask to have a good cup of coffee in the morning? Seriously! I get in the office and there is a fresh pot of coffee ready for the taking. I’m stunned! Usually there’s only half the carafe when I arrive. But this time the Gods saw fit to let me have the first cup.

I pour…

I add sugar (not that Nutra-sh*t crap you young people use)

I add some milk. Yes that’s right Milk! When you get to my age you have to look out for your bones so bite me.

I stir it ever so softly and then take a sip.

It tasted like Broli pissed in my coffee. Having not acquired the taste of “Broli pissed in coffee” I can tell you I was not happy. The last five years in my office we have had the worst coffee known to man. I just don’t understand. We’ve paid good money for coffee makers and in the end all we get is variations of dark coloured water that tastes like flem. WE CAN PUT A MAN ON THE GOD DAMN FARKING MOON but apparently good coffee in my office is the illusive Holy Grail. I’ve been so desperate some days that I’ve even taken to getting a cup of Starbucks coffee

*Collective Gasp*

Yes that right. I’m so desperate for coffee I’m willing to pay what amounts to my left testicle for a cup of “I have no farking idea what but they call it coffee.” Normally, I’d just spit the coffee out in to the sink but that wouldn’t be fair to the sink. So instead I have to sit here, endure my clients with this cup of sh*t.

To the coffee Gods out there. YOU ALL SUCK!

Peppermint with Chammomile for me.

[bubba1983]

earl grey ftw!

tea drinkers unite to jack this thread!!!

[Wild Weasel]

I count myself among the crack junkies. :)

So here's what you do... go out and get yourself one of these.

That's what I've got. Works magic.

Now pick up a can of Tim Horton's coffee grinds. They sell them at Tim's and they sell them at grocery stores.

There's a little scoop that comes with the coffee maker. Use one level scoop per cup of water. Perfect coffee every time!

[BLKOUT]

Coffee has some sort of additive in it to get you hooked!

My name is Neil and I am a coffee addict.

[Chiburashka]

They don't have good earl grey at Second Cup, that's why I settle for the Mint/Chammomile combo. At home I have the best earl grey, Wisotsky.

[Wild Weasel]

Oh.. and use cream rather than milk. Just as good for your bones and tastes better. :)

[Wild Weasel]

Yeah. It's called "caffeine". :)

[bubba1983]

but not for the waistline *giggles*

[Kevin@nextmod]

Tea with cream and sugar or plain?
I like mine nice and plain.
One cup in the car while driving to school is da sh*t!

[bubba1983]

2 sugar 1 milk mmmm

[Wild Weasel]

heh. I've got a whole coffee station here at my desk as well and haven't touched it in years since they opened a Tim's in the basement of my building.

Man... I bet opening the coffee tin would be a REALLY BAD idea... :(

Yea plain ftw

[SpeedBaby]

the poor quality coffe at the affice was exactly the reason why i gave up the whole coffee drinking idea entirely. Now I only drink tea and only earl grey.

And if in the afternoon i still can't keep my eyes open, then there's always RedRave - the best tasting energy drink ever.

[3GFX]

Coffee Blows!

[Cardinal Fang]

You tea drinkers are all ghey. Grow a set of balls or do what Whos Urr Dad does and rent them from his wife and get some coffee.

:-)

[PhantomPurple_07]

my coworkers look at me weird when i'm going for my 4th espresso of the day (read before noon). and no i'm not going to starbucks, although we have one right down the road. We have two espresso machines in the office, going from the old office at adidas to this new office had one amazing benefit and that was the coffee.

but i'm not saying i'm addicted, i can give it up when ever i want. I just choose not to

[SpeedBaby]

but i'm not saying i'm addicted, i can give it up when ever i want. I just choose not to

Sounds VERY convincing! :D

[Whos ur dadd]

Cardinal ***, here I was going to support you, but then you pull shiet like that.

But I'd rather support the coffee movement than to let them numb nutted panty-hose wearing tea lovers jack this thread.

If you want quality coffee, stop whining and buy yourself a cup from Timmies or Starbux you cheap a$$. Quality and office coffee don't mix.

[PhantomPurple_07]

Sounds VERY convincing! :D

ya thats what i have to keep telling myself as i have blinding headaches on the weekend b/c of my temporary coffee detox. not fun!!

[Broli]

this is a great thread!

tea is good when you don't feel like having a coffee, when your sick, when you had a night that was rough on your throat (LOL, shut up), but mostly tea is good when your testicles have shrivelled and fallen off!

drink a mans drink . . . the latte

:P

[3GFX]

drink a mans drink . . .


Steamer.


















What?

[Broli]

Steamer.


















What?


OMG, have you had a vanilla hazelnut steamer from artisanso

heavenly . . .

lol

ok, when did this thread turn?

[Cardinal Fang]

*Points to Broli and 3GFX*

Ban these farking Designer Guys!

[Broli]

hmmm, seems like we are the ones with the ban button .. .

*spills latte on ban button, attempts to ban cardi*

damnit, i broke the ban button!

majic is gonna be pissed, he loves that thing!

lol

[bubba1983]

nothin impresses the ladys more than a man who drinks the tea!!!

:)

it shows your um...sophisticated, n stuff....

[Broli]

sure sure, shows them you are a uptight brit!

lol

truth be told, i like tea in the winter and coffee in the summer (more)

both are great when u really want them

[PhantomPurple_07]

you know the more complicated your starbucks is directly linked to how much of an a**hole you are...thats not me saying it, its George Carlin.

Thats why I always get an extra hot, no-fat, no foam chai latte...not too complicated but just enough to reflect who i am :devil

[Broli]

try to add in a half sweet - doughboy suggested it to me, and i do it everytime now!

lol

that's so proper british snobbery...

my irish half is sick in the stomach...

[Broli]

isnt that a coffee mug not a teacup and saucer?

[/chuckie]

(lol, chuks is always the observant one!)

[bubba1983]

pssst, i wear contacts, not glasses anymore, hahahahh

i rep the stainless steel, all you haters out there!!

[3GFX]

So do you still lift your pinky when your drinking out of your 'stainless' cup?

[PhantomPurple_07]

totally off topic, but 3G i just noticed in your banner that you're slovenian...well i'm not slovenian but serbian, i know its not the same. more like distant cousins (or so my grandfather would say)

[3GFX]

It was all the same at one point ;)

I was born here, but both my parents are from neighboring vilages in Slovenija.

Actually we can keep this thread on topc because we former Yugoslovians don't drink tea and coffee, its better to have a shot of Slivovica in the morning ;)

[PhantomPurple_07]

ya i was born here to, 2nd gen Cdn actually...plus most of my family has left...way too much war went on.

man i really to get back to work

[Wild Weasel]

man i really to get back to work

heh. I'm having a slow day today. Can you tell??

I should go get a coffee and hang out in front of my building watching them roll in cars for the autoshow.

Coming back from lunch, I watched them scrape the front lip of the GT3 while taking it out of the truck. :)

[3GFX]

Lmao that sucks. Why bother going to the show when you can just watch :p

I remember being there for importfest when they were packing up, its cool to here some of the cars run.

[Wild Weasel]

It's funny to watch a car jockey stalling a Porsche. :)

I'll be going to the show some evening next week, though I'm not sure how much new there will be. I went to the Detroit show last month for the first time in years. Watching the cars roll in has become a bit of annual tradition here for me. :)

[PhantomPurple_07]

ya i'm having a slow day too, but i still feel i should be pretending to do work. but thats hard to do when everyone in my office is at a trade show in montreal while i'm stuck here in markham

[stas]

stop dissing coffee!!!

a good cup of coffee Melitta european blend cofee (which you buy at Dominion, put into a coffee machine, add water, wait) and a good cigarette makes the day good, especially if you enjoy the combo on a balcony and its nice out.

p.s. yes it is addictive but it is also an acquired taste
p.p.s. going to timmies, starbucks, seconds cup, etc is money wasted unless you are meeting with friends there. coffee in those places is worse then Broli' piss when he has a hangover.
p.p.p.s. i'm a tea drinker too, and tea here is shit as well.

can someone explain to me why do coffee shops serve coffee or tea, boiling hot, it gets to the point of coffee tasting like something was burned in the coffee machine.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

you know the more complicated your starbucks is directly linked to how much of an a**hole you are...thats not me saying it, its George Carlin.



Triple Grande, Non-Fat, No Foam, 4 Pump Cinnamon Latte...

Havent had one in about 3 years... now, I only do Tims.

[PhantomPurple_07]

ya thats reasonable....not too complicated.


and the hotter the coffee the better, almost to the point of burning my toungue

[stas]

how is the hotter the better? you can't even enjoy it, its simply discuisting, even when it cools down. i understand it being good when they serve it in the same way as they surve coffee in europe. for example when you order turkish coffee (thats the style and type of coffee for those that dont kmow), they also give u a small cup of water so that you sip the water to cool down ur throat and toungue.

Extra large double double?

I know Joe is a tea drinker. Triple Triple Tea, TTT

[JMAK74]

Agreed.
Peppermint with Chammomile for me.

You're a girl right... or is this what you drink when you can't fall asleep?

Don't get me completely wrong - tea is nice - preferrably steeped to the point that it's dark as coffee.

I need my coffee - and like someone else said, yeah when if comes to coffee drinkers, it's like we're crack addicts...

JMAK

maaaaaaaybe

[PhantomPurple_07]

well as long as your consistent
need to keep the stiff upper lip at all times

Tims Steeped Tea for me, coffee is for the times I really need a caffeine boost, but Tea is my preference for sure!

[EvilEric]

I can't believe someone said to go try Timmi's or Starbucks for "quality" coffee. I think they both water it down pretty good. Definately not quality stuff.

[Wild Weasel]

I really like Tim's coffee. Maybe it's just the comfort of familiarity, but I very much enjoy it.

[Hazy]

Tim Horton's coffee is so good.

[JMAK74]

Probably Franchised store and they're trying to cut corners to save.

tim's steeped tea makes my poop runny....
