How do you like your coffee?

[Anonymous]

In a bucket.



Nah, I have a café au lait in the morning, long black after a ride during the day and maybe a espesso in the evening.

Have to agree that the Old School stovetops are the best as well.

weve had two bought for us, trouble is we have a gas stove.. lol

Actually when doing lots of training, I have no desire to finish a ride with empty calories.

Empty calories? How can you slander coffee in that way???!!

Seriously - did you know that coffee actually helps you absorb carbs post workout? I've got a friend who's a top sports nutritionist and an athlete herself and she advocates a coffee with post ride meals on that very basis. Needless to say, I'm not arguing with her!!!

So, who's gonna call coffee empty calories now, ay??!!!!

Oh, and as for my favourite - either wickedly strong from my stove top Bialetti (got to be stainless steel - the aluminium ones don't get the right heat transfer and taint the water) or a flat white - which is a Kiwi and Aussie improvement on the latte ...

with enough sugar and milk you can get a complete meal

I like my coffee like I like my women: strong, black and bitter

I voted "other" because my favorite kinds of coffee are Turkish and Balinese. But my morning cup is espresso made with a Bialetti.

my father first gave me espresso when i was 4 , i remember asking for it , he gave me about a thimble full , but that was it , ...........i guess its a cultural thing with me ......he also always bought fresh bread every day , so coffee and bread for breakfast was the thing growing up as a child............

we have 4 or 5 espresso makers at the house , the big dog is the italian breville , its very pretty , haha , we also have stove top , 2 i believe , and a press

nothing beats a nice hot double espresso or a nice macchiato ......
visitors to the house are always offered a coffee...........funny but you cant be at my mothers house for 5 minutes without being offered a coffee

 

[Leshoops]

Black, strong and in a very big cup!

When I lived in Miami I picked up the Cuban coffee habit. I now use Bustello in my electric espresso machine. I still remember the time I was making espresso on the electric stove top with my old 2 cup Bialetti. I somehow neglected to put water in it. Daggone, fused that sucker together!
I like a pre ride espresso. May as well get the heart rate going early.

I just got one of these for at work. It's a Caldo Caffe "Gusto". It's basically a cross between a stove top espresso maker and a cordless electric jug.

We like it the same way except the bitter. A Seattle winter can do that to women without our help. We are talking about coffee, right?

I'm old-fashioned -- I prefer a plain black coffee.

Susan

Same here. Most people I know prefer that or with a little sugar.

I'm lucky enough to have a good relationship with a local bar/restaurant that has kept me in free lattes (and adequate quantities of free beer and wine) for the last 5 years.

At home I make coffee in my baby. My baby is one of these... http://www.therocket.co.nz/. I love my baby more than anything in the world.

Thanks for sharing, that's an awesome looking machine.

Are they available outside of New Zealand? Not that I have $3000 to blow on another espresso machine, but I can live in hope.

 

[Tugboat]

Yep... Aussie distributor is http://www.espressocompany.com.au/ and it should cost you closer to $2k than $3k if that makes you feel any better!

(I paid just under $2.5k in Kiwi pesos).

No sugar for me, thanks... I'm sweet enough

I like two shots of espresso with a bit of cold milk in a lowball glass. Specially made for me up at my local coffee joint...it's creamy and smooth.
If you want it can have a few pieces of ice thrown in.....

sit back and sip...


when in Europe will do a morning cap or an espresso ...

 

[RedheadDane]

Pffff! I don't know what all those fancy terms means!

I drink coffee with milk, plain and simple. If I don't have any milk I'll take it black...

And of course, the stronger the better!

Ditto, but milk only occasionally.

This is like asking me what my favourite meal is!


All of them, mainly esppreso, macchiato and cappucino but I'm happy with a Latte and a cafe au lait.

 

[LaFlorecita]

My mom won a 749 euro coffee machine with "Milk Whirl System", "Aroma Whirl System Plus" and "Single Portion Cleaning" I like my coffee sweet and with a lot of milk or whipped cream

 

[Netserk]

I don't drink coffee, but I do like chocolate with coffee (inside, not as a drink). This I like

Likewise BroDeal I also like it in ice cream.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Coffee with milk and some sugar and then 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream

Edit: of course make sure the coffee is rather cold, and maybe put the ice cream in first otherwise it splashes

 

[SafeBet]

I don't dig coffee. It gives me shivers at night

 

[hiero2]

Well, in keeping with what I'm interested in.... beer (is there anything else?).

New Belgium Brewery in Fort Collins, Co., makes a beer with coffee. It's called Giddy Up. Oh yeah... if you can find it, buy it.

I love coffee. All types. But coffe in beer? Priceless.

I like a dark roast, black, no sugar, no cream. Starbuck's "Americano" is good by me, so I plugged the "espresso American" option. Espresso is fine, too. When I'm in Guatemala, I do it hyper-sugared, a la "local".

But speaking of beer, Dogfish brewery makes a chicory stout that is absolutely fantastic. Having spent some time in Louisiana, I associate chicory with coffee, although I recognize some purists might not.

 

[mewmewmew13]

yum hiero!

I love stout..have had great java stouts, espresso stouts...
porter with espresso flavor...

they are all good
