So I just had Kopi Luwak coffee.Some weird Indonesian weasel-ish creature eats coffee cherries, craps out the beans, then some poor person picks em' out the poo. After that, stupid people buy it for $150 a pound and I drank some. Shit was actually good.

I thought you said they take the beans out?
I'd try that, definitely.
I was going to start a coffee thread, I've been drinking Seattle's Best Cinnabon, it's been good to me these last couple weeks.
Who's drinking what?
I've had it before....it's, well, alright.
soy chai 4 lyfe.
oh and con leche's.
I've been pounding 3 of these a day...
"Iced Coffee" (Americano) with a little...
...and a splash of cream
I keep things simple!
hahaha me too. it's been months since our last one.
I'm on 1-2 double espressos a day and 2-3 cups regular filter coffee.
never no sugar or cream.
I've always had one excuse or another for my high caffeine intake, but now that I'm out of school for good and settling into a new job I think it may be time to finally address my addiction.
My wife gets pissed when I ruin all her Pyrex from the crack I cook up at the crib.
My old college roommate tried to kick nicotine and caffeine at pretty much the same time. He had an easier time quitting nicotine and definitely went through some ugly caffeine withdrawl.

The Clover is supposed to make the best fucking drip coffee on the planet (and for 11K, you better hope it does). I had it make a cup of $5.50 drip, using these $150/lb Panamanian beans (no monkey poop that I know of)...and the result was:
Profoundly...
...underwhelming.
This was a seriously mediocre cup of coffee - watery, fruity to the point of being sour, AND slightly bitter. It's about as bad a cup as I've had at STARBUCKS. Yikes.
Not sure if it was the bean...the barista...the Clover but whatever the case, that was pretty disappointing. If it had merely been a "good" cup of coffee, I would have been fine with that. But this was an undeniably bad cup of coffee. I guess I'll give this another shot with a different bean another time but still...
you guys need some fiends that'll bring you those shits on the weekly. crackheads coming to the door at all hours with fresh pyrex should please the wife.
if you sneak the pyrex out after she leaves for work in the morning and return it when she's sleeping later that night she'll never know.
learn from my mistakes and be sure to wash all the cracky stuff out before putting it back on the shelf
The other day I was so distracted by talking, I tipped the cup and spilled some of it on my pants. A really nice pair of wide leg light gray pants. I swore, the staff behind the counter heard me and then it all turned into ER. They were pointing furiously at their bathroom (I still managed to go into the supply room first) and then there was this mad dash to get me paper towels. I finally emerged with two huge wet spots on the front of my pants and the place, of course, was now PACKED. I only spilled a small amount, but they made me a whole new americano and kept asking me if I was OK and everyone in line was staring and it was all very embarrassing. My co-workers just stood by silently and tired to act like nothing was happening. I think I would have reacted the same way.
PS. My pants are fine!
Is there a better sugar alternative I don't know about? I've heard Splenda is the better choice, but I must be wrong?
Learn me.
whats wrong with just dealing with the real stuff?
BROWN SUGAR.
BLACK COFFEE.
Call me
YUCK!
I get that Turbinado Raw Cane stuff from Trader Joes, it's similar or the same thing as Sugar In The Raw. Tastes way better than the white stuff. I cant fuck with Splenda personally, it has a chemical taste to me.
I've never used regular brown sugar in coffee, you really do that Spanky? I never thought of that.
it's a cat...
well... at least cat-like...
Most definitely.
Lemur, cat, weasel, whatever the fuck, I drank poo coffee.
Hey, if it was good enough for Agent Dale Cooper, it should be good enough for you....people.
Coffee/caffeine is about the one vice I *have* avoided. Now somebody pass me my "gear".
saying. now I just need some pie.
i wanna try it! i bet it tastes great. i always talk about it at the botanical gardens. i'm a guide there and always tell the Kopi Kuwak story to visitors when we pass by the coffee trees.
