My boss and her husband are from Germany, and they make espresso the way they drink it there. They brew it really strong, then each cup gets about 1/3 espresso and 2/3 organic milk. In the winter the milk is warmed, in the summer you drink it milk-cold. The stuff will dissolve your tongue, but one cup will keep you going for hours!

I love those espressos. Apparently, I go crazy in Europe and become a coffee drinker.

I like my coffee black. Freshly ground is best. I like to get beans from a local roaster. Like NC runner said, it can change your life. Cheap, mass produced coffee tastes like someone ran water through potting soil to me. If it came out of a large plastic container, I just step away.

I heard yesterday morning that the Salted Caramel is gone because they are soon to bring the heavenly Pumpkin Spice.

I drank my Cameron's Toasted Southern Pecan coffee this morning with like no french vanilla cream, and it tasted pretty good. I really need to get more of my foam cups, I've tried to buy thermos cups but always forget to take them back home Undecided

This. And usually no cream or sugar.

Although I also like coffee Smile

Hot can be black or one cream one sugar, iced has gotta be double-double.

Indeed. I roast (and grind) my own beans and brew using a vacuum pot or a traditional espresso machine. Nothing quite like freshly roasted/ground coffee in the morning.
