You should have. I'm always willing to try something new.

We're lucky on the West Coast of Canada, we have a pipe line for South American coffee beans.

I wonder if there's a branch in that pipeline, Odin, to the coast of Oregon? I LOVE those Colombian beans. Seems like coffee is more a northern drink and tea more southern. Many of the street corners here have coffee kiosks.



You must be from the North West if you: You can taste the difference between Starbucks, Dutch Brothers, Seattle's Best, Peets, and Veneto's.

Shame its not a literal pipeline for coffee. Coffee on tap would be a great idea!

I am a coffee drinker. Don't brew my own, I find it is too strong. Used to drink Moccona but wont now until they make it Fairtrade.
I like Arabica coffee, white (Milk) without sugar.
Love iced coffee. We have one in South Australia that is popular. Farmers Union.
I have tea in my house - I rarely touch it - it is there for visitors. Funny thing is I was brought up on tea and coffee - (we were not allowed coffee though until at least 14). Even if I run out of coffee now before I shop for more I drink water instead. Probably the main time I drink it.
Haven't tried Starbucks yet either.

Love the coffee iceblocks idea. Will have to try it this summer.

I'm thinking a little more about Fairtrade too these days.

You're not supposed to rub it into your skin silly!

Speaking of coffee, I got a new coffee grinder

I drink coffee every morning. One thermos full. I drink the keurig k-cups. They come in all varieties but I like the Hawaiian coffee flavor the best. I also like Emeril's coffee.

I like K cups, but I just make a pot in the morning to last the day. I drink too much so the K cup coffee is way too expensive even on sale. I also like to make my own mixes, like half decaf and have vanilla,etc. I am not supposed to have caffeine, so I have cut back on it.

If you have a Bed, Bath, & Beyond store near you, you can purchase them with coupons and get them for $5 off or 20% off.

I work in a store, and even with coupons and my store discount, they cost a lot. I do have a one-cup machine and will make a cup once in a while, but for the most part, I use the cheaper ground coffee in a tin, sometimes I get a bag of flavored coffee that you grind yourself. I am not fussy, I pretty much like all coffee.

Beauty Merrak. Those things are useful for spices as well.

O my Merrak, that is a beauty. You must have been doing some antique shopping. Looks to be in very good shape. and so is the beautiful stand it is sitting on.

Indeed I have! I lived in Brooklyn for a number of years.
That stuff is SWEET!!!!

It's good but one shouldn't drink too much of it too often.

Hey Cecilia! Brooklyn's in the house.
I love that drink and it is very sweet. Manhattan Special is very rare here in AZ. When I do find it I always buy a few. The water in NY seems to make a very good cup of coffee.
I do miss NYC.
