And I thought splurging on Trader Joe's Organic Sumatra was expensive. Best coffee ever IMO. $18 for 12oz! I died inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally drink Folgers or Maxwell House depending on which is on sale. Big pot, ready when I wake up. The good stuff I save for myself when I'm sitting alone, reading or feeling blue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking it over, I was astonished, and a little horrified, by my own tenacity and energetic enthusiasm for argument. God, it must have been exhausting. I don't have the energy for that sort of thing anymore. Or, perhaps, the self-assured confidence that I'm always "right." 2009 There was this too with comments running from 2009 until 2014: http://alphavilleherald.com/2009/05/is-your-second-life-woman-a-real-life-man.html There's a reason I never go back and read years old posts I made.

You need to buy a Concordia Xpress - it's only £30,000 and will make you the best coffee you've ever had. And best to order Kopi Luwak beans...you should never skimp on good coffee ☕ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayt3rChip Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 There was a time when I decided that I wanted to be a coffee drinker. Don't ask me why ... So I bought a nespresso machine and *coughs* over 100 capsules... ( someone who never drank coffee mind you) The only way I could drink it was with a ton of syrup, creamer and whatever else. But after I started getting these awful stomach aches. By cup 15 I realised it was the coffee. So now I'm back to tea drinking exclusively. Favourites being : Jasmine and Green Tea, Peppermint and Green Apple. Peeve : my own compulsiveness 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they need to be hand-picked from the seabed during monsoon season... Actually, I just spend £2.50 on these 😉 I prefer tea anyway... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which reminds me.. Peeve: When a product you love is not loved enough to the point the producer no longer wants to produce it.. Peeve 2.0 : When a product you love starts to be loved by absolutely everyone and their mama and your special exclusive product becomes everyones special not very exclusive product 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found that to be amusing. Might be total fluff. Peeve: Milk in tea. Man, I tried to like it, tried it a bunch of times, but I just don't get it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
