I am not that picky....Starbucks or any other coffee shop will do, as long as it's hot! My fav drink of choice is an Amaretto Capuccino, with skim milk (damn cholesterol). If no amaretto is available then I have them mix almond with cherry (which is amaretto, lol) and if that isn't available I will go with French Vanilla. I always get the small size because I don't like it when it gets cool and I don't drink it all that fast.

French vanilla? I have been living in a tropical country all these years without knowing it?

Freshly ground whole bean, french roast or Columbia. Made in a coffee-press, (water temperature between 195 - 205 degrees Fahrenheit, brew time 2-4 minutes, I prefer 4 minutes) and filtered a second time with bleach-free coffee filters.
I Drink it hot or on ice with a shot or two of "cream", not milk... but cream and lightly sweetened.
After doing it this way for nearly 20 or so years, I can't drink it any other way.
Everything else just doesn't make the grade.

@Erisian,

Starbucks or any other "coffee house" (I use the term "coffee house" loosely) has nothing on me. :hehe

I even make coffee ice cubes for my iced coffee.
I like to use those small ice-cube trays (see attached image) that make about 90 little ice-cubes per tray.
And always use filtered or bottled water for making my coffee.

Coffee icecubes??? I've done some strange things in my life including putting coffee in a soda stream but I haven't tried coffee ice cubes yet.

@Erisian,

You must try it when making iced-coffee... (I only brew the coffee 2 minuets when making coffee ice-cubes) there's no loss or coffee flavor by using/adding regular ice-cubes.

Anyone ever have a "Manhattan Special"? (see attachment)

Erisian · **Posted:** Tue Sep 25, 2012 7:33 pm **(#51)**

Wow - they're bottling it now. I could have made a fortune all those years ago! :hehe

Once when I was little we made "milk pops"...It didn't taste much like milk but I liked them anyway.
Coffee ice-cubes is actually a good idea. lol

What's a "milk pop"?

2-ton · **Posted:** Tue Sep 25, 2012 9:16 pm **(#55)**

I am guessing they froze milk in a popsicle tray, or in an ice tray and stuck toothpicks in them to use as the sticks. we used to make ice cube popsicles with koolaid, pop, or fruit juice.

What 2-ton said. lol
I was like 5 or 6, my mother was testing things out with me. xD

@Mokonafan,

I like milk, but I don't think a milk-pop would be something I'd want to make more then once. It doesn't sound very appetizing, when you compare it to kool-aid, or something along those lines.
I digress... wasn't this suppose to be about coffee? :hehe

2-ton · **Posted:** Tue Sep 25, 2012 10:12 pm **(#58)**

coffee ice cubes, that's what it was that got us off topic, lol

Mokonafan · **Posted:** Tue Sep 25, 2012 10:40 pm **(#59)**

It didn't taste like milk really, but I liked it. xD
We didn't make again though.

Yeah about coffee...
Ignore me! xD

I had the best coffee I can remember ever having at a wedding reception on saturday. I should have asked what brand the caterer used.
