what are you drinking right now?

[steve(thelil)]

Just switched from increasingly muddy pot of Melita Columbian Supreme coffee to Twinning's Earl Gray Tea. Last night was a margarita on the rocks and a diet coke (with peal and eat shrimp and a small order of buffalo wings at a beach bar - perfect meal!) followed by 2 Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPAs when I got home. Life is good.

I think it's great Jerry. Definitely worth a try in my opinion.

Delicious, potent morning coffee. I use a Scandinavian method, taught to me by a woman who lived for some years in Finland. Simple to make, it leaves you ready to ride a reindeer. I'll pass it along if anyone wishes.

We don't have reindeer in Chicago but I could probably use the energy I have got to go mow the lawn. I am having my second round of bustelo. This time I am drinking it iced.

I'd like to see this too. But, when my wife and I noticed we were talking a bit faster and sometimes speaking over each other in the morning, we switched to half caff. :-)

"K" cup Tully's French Roast decaf.

A few years ago, I decided that K Cups were just undrinkable swill. Maybe my standards have slipped, but this is okay.

Even Gevalia comes in K-cups now! I don't use K-cups, but I do love Gevalia.

You need a fine mesh strainer (fine enough to not let coffee grounds through), a metal one-cup measure, and a good-sized mug. Put the amount of ground coffee you think you might like into the cup measure (I go for two scoops), cover with water (not too much) and bring the coffee-water mixture almost to a boil on a burner; it should be bubbling but of course not over-flowing. Pour the coffee-near boiling water mixture through the strainer (you might want to stir the mixture as it's about to boil), which you've placed over the mug. Then pour cold milk through the grounds that remain in the strainer and into the mug, filling it. Then put the mug into the microwave and heat it; in my microwave about 1:40 does the trick. The result is rocket fuel. BTW, it helps to prevent spills and dribbles if you pour both the coffee-near boiling water mixture and the cold milk into the mug from a certain height above the rim of the mug, a few inches maybe, so that the stream of liquid is narrow. If this sounds complicated, the whole process takes just a few minutes once you get used to it. I do it each morning before I've had my coffee of course, and about the only other thing I can do then without coffee is stand upright.

You could heat the milk before pouring it into the mug through the grounds that are in the strainer, but I decided that's too much work for me, and it doesn't yield different results, I felt, than if you run things through the microwave. Of course, if you don't like a coffee-milk mixture, no matter how potent the results are, this whole method is beside the point.

Tried my first Barking Squirrel last night. It's a smooth amber lager, more nutty malt than hop presence. it has more bark than bite.
