The Coffee Shop Too!

[maryanimal]

I miss coming in the coffee shop to the smell of fresh coffee brewing, pastries baking, and slinging corned beef hash 'n eggs with a side of bacon, and good conversation!

Welcome to The Coffee Shop Too! It's different than the other coffee shop, but just as friendly!


ETA: free coffee and pastries for the grand opening!

[junglesmacks]

Oooo.... So everybody got a bite of donut! Cool!

What happened to that other coffee shop? Not built to code?

Something like that.

[Nipple]

Look... if you're not going to finish that...

[Ugly Dougly]

Okay, then let's bring it to a vote.

Drip or espresso? What say you?

[theCryptofishist]

French press. And I hate the f-word.

[Savannah]

I'm with you. The best coffee I ever had was espresso from a french press. I am normally a person who takes her coffee practically blonde, so to have a cup of espresso plain (and like it) was remarkable.

So, I asked for a french press for my birthday. I'm a weird new-gift-hoarder who doesn't use her gifts right away, admiring them instead for a time, and waiting for some act of God before I use it, but . . . I'm weirdly excited about it in a procrastinate-y way.

[trilobyte]

I like mocha, possibly with an extra shot or three of espresso.

Oo, that is also acceptable.

[maryanimal]

when I was a kid my mom and grandma use to have this glass coffee percolator that they would make espresso on the stove with. it smelled so good! my mom would make hers with a squeeze of lemon some lemon rind and it's a bit of sugar in a small teacup. when she got towards the bottom of the cup she would let me drink the rest because it had a lemon rind maybe a sees from the lemon, in a little bit of sugar and it was so good. I would love to find 1 of those glass percolators again so I can make some espresso and fix it just the way my mom did.

[BBadger]

I use an Aeropress with a metal filter. So it's somewhat like an espresso extraction, and somewhat like a French press. Nice and smooth and good. I also find clean up easier compared to French presses.

[Simon of the Playa]

i drink instant coffee with tap water out of a tin cup, because thats how i roll.



seriously.



im not kidding.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

he's not lying.....with like 4 scoops of sugar too...maybe 5

[^Rhino!]

DID ANYBODY SAY COFFEE??????????OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question to the larger group here. Does anyone ever think he is kidding when he makes these pronouncements? I mean after the first few times when the conceptual Simon is still percolating in your brain.

No.
