I spilled coffee on the sheets Part Deux  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691) 4 years ago

I spilled coffee on the sheets (it's KK's fault). It was really good coffee too. 8 o'clock Columbian whole bean ground fresh.

What kind of coffee do you prefer? Do you grind your own? I use a burr grinder and a Bunn coffee maker; I think the combination makes all the difference in the flavor.

What say you Mylot?

I love the aroma of freshly ground coffee beans!wub Alas, I have no grinder.sad And I can't afford the more exotic blends, so I drink Folgers.happy


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

8 o'clock is actually really affordable and tastes just as good as the expensive stuff, which is why I buy it.

Careful: once you go to fresh ground you can never go back...I can't drink Folgers; I've tried. It's just to0 bitter and acidic for me. And I drank it for years before my MIL gave us a coffee grinder. Then it was all over.

Living in the espresso capital of the world really spoils a person. LOL

Hello sndcain36

I am not a coffee drinker, but my best friend cannot get enough of the brew. She enjoys when I grind it for her. She can't seem to get enough.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

God bless you for taking the trouble for your friend even though you aren't a coffee drinker...I can't get enough of it either...although I will be having stomach surgery in a few weeks and no more for me...:(


myLot reputation of 93/100. Transdisc (18434)  4 years ago

I'm sorry to hear about the upcoming surgery and hope that all goes well and that you have a speedy recovery.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

Thank you sweetie...but I'm actually looking forward to the surgery. I've had alot of problems the last year and this will make all the difference in my quality of life.

But thank you for your wishes for a speedy recovery; I will let everyone know how it goes...

Hugs!

winkI love Folger's Black Silk. For the sheets, I think I'd use the store's generic brand.
Sorry! I couldn't resist!


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I haven't tried that...is it a French Roast?


myLot reputation of 95/100. cobrateacher (4909)   ranked 424 out of 32,957 in life  4 years ago

It's a little darker and a lot smoother than French Roast. Yummmmm...

What kind of coffee do you prefer?

I prefer starbucks but if I have to make it myself I grab so gourmet stuff from the grocery store and use their grinder. The smell of fresh ground coffe is so yum.

Do you grind your own?

Unfortunately I don't have a grinder. My mom does and when I visit she makes the coffee in a french press. That does make a very big difference in the taste at least to me.


I use a burr grinder and a Bunn coffee maker; I think the combination makes all the difference in the flavor. What say you Mylot?

Sorry never heard of a burr grinder and and a Bunn coffee maker so I couldn't even begin to compare it.
But one thing is for sure I have to go make a pot of coffee now because I'm thirsty for it now.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

Haha...the power of suggestion never fails...;)

Bunn is the industry standard for drip coffee makers; it brews a pot in three minutes and because it doesn't oxygenate or boil the water there is less bitterness.

http://www.bunnomatic.com/

It's a similar principal to the french press...:)

A burr grinder is a specific kind of grinder that uniformly grinds the beans for maximum, consistent flavor. http://coffeetea.about.co...

Happy coffee drinking! :)


myLot reputation of 95/100. bellaofchaos (3112)   ranked 626 out of 32,957 in life  4 years ago

Thanks for the links it seems that I shall need to get a burr grinder if I start to grind my coffee I really hate having a burned taste if you ask me and I like the coffee pot too. Now I have to go on a spending spree for coffee. He he he..


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

I've managed to convert another one..lol

Bunn should pay me for all my free advertizing...;)


myLot reputation of 95/100. bellaofchaos (3112)   ranked 626 out of 32,957 in life  4 years ago

Yeah they should have a rewards program set up for you LOL :).. I'll let you know when I get mine and then tell you how much I like it. Thanks and have a nice one.

Ahh, this answers my question from part 1. I like 8 O'clock coffee, especially French Roast or Columbian. I have a Mr. Coffee maker, but it's fancy. You'd like it because it is STAINLESS STEEL.
It has a button you can push to make it brew "strong" or "regular". I choose strong. I like my coffee the way I like my men; hot, tan, kind of sweet, and STRONG.
Chock full o' nuts makes pretty good coffee too, I like the NY Roast.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

OOOLALALA---I luvs me stainless!

My mother used to say "I like my coffee like I like my men---naked" until one say she said it and I answered "black?"

She got this weird look on her face...lol Nothing like finding out your mom's a racist...hehe...

I have an old plastic coffee maker that I got at a yard sale. It takes about a half an hour to make one stinking cup of coffee. I have to get up a half an hour early just to turn it on.
I buy the cheapest coffee I can find, it all tastes like sludge by the time it gets through Mr. Coffee.
For Christmas this year would you send me a KK for me to duck tape the center of my bed from and I can spill my coffee on?
And a new coffee maker?


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

ROFL you got it...

Note to self: send KK to Whatshername with a new coffeepot and some coffee.

Long before the spilled coffee on the sheets incident, I sort of had my own way of making coffee. It was Folgers, but I also added Nestle's Quik chocolate to a cup.

Being that I am still trying to learn how to operate the coffee maker (The instructor's presence DOES tend to be very distracting.), I still do that every once in a while. This sometimes also comes in handy for when someone unexpectedly shows up knocking on the door, & the door gets opened to let 'em in.


myLot reputation of 48/100. sndcain36 (2691)  4 years ago

mmmmmm Nestle's Quik and coffee...a white trash mocha....lol

And let's go over this one more time: you put a filter in the filter basket, you put the coffee in the filter, you put the water in the top, make sure the pot is on the burner, then slide the filter basket in the the slot, then close the top and turn it on.

Hey! Where'd you go? Get back here and quit watching sports!


myLot reputation of 83/100. KrazyKlingon (3288)   ranked 3,461 out of 32,957 in life  4 years ago

I'm still here. Right now, my problem is getting the proportions of the coffee & the water correct. Following the instructions on the coffee package, remember I messed up the two times I tried. One time, the coffee tasted more like plain water, & the other time, it sure was overpowering & kept us both wide awake all through that night. I agree wholeheartedly with what you said. We both suffered that bout of insomnia nice & comfy & snuggled up close with each other. We were just lucky that the next day, we didn't have to wake up early for anything.

I have a reputation as a coffee snob. I drink the gevalia flavored coffees. I have a coffee make with one of those gold filters. When I used the paper filters I got crunchy coffee. I like fiber but not in my coffee. I definitely don't grind my own.

I also drink Dunkin donuts fv.
