Whats your cup in the morning?

JoergJaeger · March 24, 2011, 12:46am

Haha, this is a funny but still interesting question i like to ask.
People have habits and are sometimes bound to rules no one understands.
Take me, as an example.
I start my day with a nice cup of hot english breakfast tea (*). Nothing beats that.
Only if i visit my parents, i have a cup of coffee for the start.

If you like, maybe you include what kind of brew you have.

mine is from Trader Joe.

I start my day with coffee. I am kind of a nut about coffee and buy whole bean which I then grid each day as I prepare my timer coffee maker. On the weekends, I make it fresh from the start, but during week, I get up at 5:00 am to go to work and I use a timer to make the coffee at 5:30 am. I buy whole been coffee from lots of places. I do like Starbucks a lot, but I also visit the local shops like “Its a Grind” or the “Beanery” for instance. I like Hazelnut coffee a lot and Kona if I can afford it. Otherwise, I just go for alleged bold blends of one type or another. I also drink a lot of iced tea in the summer, but only coffee in the morning. I can drink it black or with cream. Depending on how bad or old it might be, my cream ratio can go up. lol!

Thank You,

Six months ago I had no dependencies (in terms of addictive substances) and I thought that was boring, so I consciously decided to take up drinking coffee, and now I am happily addicted to it. So every morning I really, really like to have a coffee as the dawn rolls in. It’s great to really like that event.

for me it´s coffee in the morning. But I do not have a special brand. Right now it is Hillson from Fresh & Easy and mostly I have Yuban from Costco.

It is also a slight addiction somehow. When I do not get coffee in the morning, or it is decaffinated then I will be in a really bad mood over the whole day

Cocoa drink for me (I detest coffe). It’s best if You just melt a bar of chocolate with milk but I usually don’t have time to do that in the morning so I rely on an instant coca drink called Puchatek (I very much doubt it’s available outside Poland )

Best regards,
Greg

‘Clipper’ White Tea with Vanilla

stamostolias · March 24, 2011, 8:20am

Good morning to all. I start my day drinking sage with tea and honey and eating a small bar of chocolate(chocolate is good for brain). Unfortunatelly I can not drink coffee because creates a bit shakiness to me. The greek breakfast based on honey and sage.

I usually wget a kaffeine postfix to prevent me from going to sleep. Ar, I might kill somebody if not fully sane. It’s true, I am a bit of an addict, but I never od. I also make some food for the cat or she won’t be nice to me or let me touch her. Then I zip to the ooffice where I tidy my file. At free times during the day however I prefer to git a batch of tee or I will go off the rails. I know this is a lame story, I wish it wasn’t but to sum up, my habits are not uniq but probably comm to many people. Please don’t bash me if you don’t identify with this. Gotta split, man.

@ken_yap: Maybe you need to reduce the number of ‘sessions’…

stamostolias · March 24, 2011, 9:46am

Ahhh! I forgot it and Heavy metal of cource.;)

which is so political incorrect that i cannot post it)

JoergJaeger · March 24, 2011, 9:11pm

i think that proves that Ken is kinda fsck uptime…

but to the question at hand, morning cup:

always coffee, almost always a double ristretto americano (espresso
with hot water instead of frothed milk) but the coffee itself changes
about every four to six days or so…

i buy green beans, roast enough for something less than a week, and
then grind what i need for one double just before brewing…

sometimes for variety i will use a “french press”, or maybe a “greek
coffee”…

more: http://texan.dk/coffee where the links “Coffees I’ve Tried” and
“Roasting History” might be interesting…or links to the equipment i
use…

sometimes in the afternoon i’ll have a cappuccino, latte, macchiato or
… . .

i am addicted (my last addiction), but normally have only two doubles
a day…occasionally i might also have a tea (regular or herb) in the
afternoon…

Greek yogurt is very good. I like it and gives you power and wellness. Have you greek yogurt there? You know that ancient Greek men were eating honey instead of chocolate.

yes, several different brands…all very good, but still i think it is
better in Greece…

yes, i knew that because chocolate was first available in central
america and wasn’t known at all in europa until after all the ancient
Greek men were pushing up daisies…
