Well yeah - you want crappy, calorie filled coffee, got to a coffee shop that has more than 2 locations.

Some of those were surprising though.

Want the best coffee? My two favorite brewing methods are Chemex, and Toddy. Toddy is a cold press, and has 70% less acid, but is very "leaded".
I prefer various South American and Ethiopian roasts - usually more "medium" and full of flavor, rather than so acrid - I brew them dark though (strong).

Now that I read all of that, I can't say my coffee's all that healthy... it is free of additive calories though - no syrup, no sugar.

Those aren't coffees; they're desserts. Of course they're unhealthy.

Yup. Those things are for people that don' like coffee, but are embarrassed to admit it.

I definitely don't get blended drinks with a mountain of whipped cream and syrups. They look like they have 1,000 calories and 100 grams of sugar -- and it turns out they do!

On the rare occasion when I want a blended drink, the only one I'll get is a Starbucks chocolate Vivanno, which includes a whole banana and whey protein, and I add a shot of espresso.

The most, and I mean most, that I might go in calling it coffee is a Latte, and that's pushing it. Mocha's are just right out the window, as is anything involving ice, unless it's there to just cool down the coffee.

Oh, I'll confess to having the occasional mocha, but in no way do I consider it a coffee.

Ayup.

Coffee tastes like **** but there's another reason why people drink it is an acquired taste.

A couple of weeks ago I started drinking coffee again after a long break, and noticed I started getting acid reflux, also after a long break. That's the final nail in the coffin for me for that particular drink.

A shame really - I quite like it in the cold weather.

When I'm making a coffee run, I'll ask if anybody else wants some. If they respond with something like "A grande extra foam low cal latte with ameretto seasoning and extra whipped cream" I'll reply "I repeat, I'm going for coffee, would anybody else want one?"

It's coffee the way I make it.

Most mochas taste like chocolate milk to me.

My homemade Cafe' Mocha is 95% coffee. Dark, strong, fresh ground, french pressed coffee.

I use 100% cocoa in skim milk and of course pure cain sugar.

I have to admit that since moving to an area with a Starbucks on nearly every corner, I've become very fond of their caramel macchiato frappuccino as a treat. However, I really am a hardcore coffee girl--black, straight, and strong.

Maybe add some milk or cream, or cold-brew it (then heat it up) to get the acidity down?

Yeah. My acid reflux has gotten better since I quit smoking, and they are telling me coffee's the next step. I was hoping to avoid giving up 2 vices, but it is what it is.

John, what kind of coffee? There is a whole lot of difference between the acid content of different brands. Starbucks beans, for instance, are very low acid. Regular store and office coffee is very high in it. I can't drink the regular stuff at all.

LsD: I'm telling you - toddy coffee. 70% less acid - took care of my stomach issues with coffee immediately. If I drink toddy, not so much as a grumble, if I drink my normal chemex brew I feel it immediately.

Toddy is high octane too - as it's a concentrate. You can mix it as strong or as weak as you want - as hot, or as cold. But no tummy-acid problems.

Mik: Starbucks beans are just roasted WAY too much - the bean opens very little during brewing due to over-roasting.
It's the brewing though that releases acidity from the beans. Any hot-brew coffee will have a decent amount of acid in it.

Starbucks always tastes scorched, to me. It leaves a nasty aftertaste, too. Yuck. I despise Starbucks. The best commercial coffee I've had, is a toss-up between Tim Horton's and Dunkin' Donuts.

At home and at work, I have Bunn coffee makers. Sometimes, three minutes to brew is just too long...

I like my women the way I like my coffee: Ground up and in the freezer. :devilgrin:
