Right, here is how I make my "perfect coffee".

Ingredients:

2 Teaspoons of good quality instant coffee granules
3-4 Teaspoons of sugar
Just under a quarter of a cup of milk

Method:

Add the coffee and sugar to a mug, pour on the milk and stir a little (reason for adding the milk first is so that you don't burn the coffee granules by adding boiling water first), add the boiled water and give it a good stir, about 8-10 seconds should suffice.

Then, sit back, and enjoy!

I use that "recipe" of making coffee every morning, and it wakes me up a treat.

I use Folgers grounds,three big spoons in a filter and run it through the Mr.Coffee.No milk for me.All the patients at the Hospital I worked made instant coffee,got where I could'nt stand even smelling it let alone drink it...russ

Instant coffee is better than nothing.I like to brew my coffee and I don't put milk in it ether.
Jmurray!
What do you mix your scotch with ? Coke?

No body mixes coke with Scotch, only ice. For coffee how about Kopi Luwak, best in the world.

Ever had any of it? That is the stuff that is made from coffee beans that have been eaten by the Asian palm civet cat, they digest the fleshy pulp, and they poop out the hard stuff they cannot digest. The price is about $100 to $600 PER POUND OF COFFEE BEANS. One very rare type in Vietnam can cost as much as $3000 per pound.

If you have indeed tried it, Ric, that makes you the cat's a-- :laughing::laughing:

Chock full o'nuts is that heavenly coffee,
Heavenly coffee, heavenly coffee.
Chock full o'nuts is that heavenly coffee,
Better coffee Rockefellers´ money can't buy.


Okay, so I went to Wikipedia to make sure I had the lyrics right, and found these original ones. Apparently "the company had to alter the lyrics from "Rockefellers´ money" to "a millionaire´s money" after being sued by New York governor Nelson Rockefeller, who owned coffee interests in Latin America".

Not true!
I seldom drink hard liquor, but when i do, I drink it straight. There are many of us who will mix a fine cognac with coke or drink scotch with milk, or soft drinks. My question was directed to the Scotsman who prefers instant coffee to fresh brewed. I have to admit I have not tried his recipe and until I do I will reserve judgement.
As far as pre-digested coffee beans are concerned my thoughts are the same, however I would add that I'm not interested in paying 30$ a cup for coffee I can't afford to drink, and if indeed it is as good as they claim, I would have to ponder why I would want to drink something that would make every cup of coffee from that point on inferior.
I look for arabica and I will pay about 10-11 dollars for it, a little less than a pound as I recall. I drink it, I like it, why screw around with cat poop?

WELL STATED !!!! I truthfully think the people who brag about paying big bucks about drinking cat poop coffee think they impress others. Well, they do...they impress me as being stupid morons. BTW, when you p--- coffee out, who can tell the difference if you paid $30 a cup or 30 cents.....:laughing::laughing:

Starbucks....OVERPRICED, OVERHYPED, OVER RATED. Cry sakes, people carry on about expensive coffee like they are expecting to get an orgasm from it.....well when you p--- it out who can tell the difference whether it was $30 a cup or 30 cents...:confused2:

Had one today. They raised price 5 cents to$1.78. I usually brew folgers at home but when we're out swing thru tims.

And out of curiosity who here knows Tim Hortons? It originated in Ontario and is spreading like wildfire over the years. The furthest south I've seen them is Columbus Ohio. And furthest east is Syracuse.

For me, nuke a cup of water in the microwave for one minute, add a heaping spoonful of Tasters Choice instant, splash in some real half and half, stir well. If coffee takes longer to make than it does to p--- it out or costs more than 35 cents a cup you are getting your fix wrong. JMurray, MILK, SUGAR ?? You are supposed to put those on corn flakes or shredded wheat, not in coffee.

You are too young for coffee!!! :biggrin:

The Keurig machine has me spoiled -- Variety and a FRESH cup every time. works out to about $.50 a cup.

We don't go for the flavored coffees, but like the light to medium roasts better most of the time. A good Dark roast that isn't bitter sometimes.

I like a good glass of Scotch now and then but never mix it. I do however mix Bourbon and other forms of whiskey with coke. I think you'll find that the true Scotch drinker will always drink his scotch straight up never mixed, never with water or over ice.

As far as Civet digested coffee beans (Kopi Luwak) are concerned, I might be tempted to pay 30 dollars for a cup one time just to say I tried the coffee but I don't believe I'd make it a regular part of my diet.

Does anybody wonder how the coffee was discovered, were two guys walking along and one of them pointed to a pile of fresh poop, saying: "Look at those coffee beans there, let's grind them up and find out what they taste like....." :laughing::laughing:

If that is true, I presume alcohol was invented at that time... :laughing:

The origin of Kopi Luwak is closely connected with the history of coffee production in certain country's. The Native farmers and plantation were workers prohibited to pick coffee fruits for their own use.
The natives learned that (The Civet) consumed the coffee fruits, yet they left the coffee seeds undigested in their droppings. The natives collected the Luwak's dropping coffee seeds, cleaned, roasted and ground it to make there coffee beverage.

And that is how it should be..... When someone has gone to the trouble to distill single malt mash and age for 12 years or more in charred oak barrels, seems kind of foolish to mix it, even with ice. Sort of like ordering expensive mineral water with ice.

If the superior flavor is attributed to fermentation that occurs in the cats digestive system, seems to me it wouldn't be hard to duplicate the process in a more controlled and accessible environment. Tea leaves, hot peppers (Tabasco brand) and kimchi, are fermented to add or infuse flavor.
Seems like that might be the next big thing....fermented coffee. There would have to be a more marketable name imparted to the process. "Luwakified coffee" or "kopi coffee" How about "all natural organic mountain grown feline coffee"
There ya go Rick, get some beans and get to fermenting, you could start the next Starbucks, Call it Ricky-B's heavenly coffee.

Is my neighbors. We usually let the dogs out at the same time in the morning and I go out of my way to walk over and exchange good morning pleasentries with him and he usually offers me a cup of coffee. His dog sometimes wanders over and dumps in my yard so I don't mind his offer.

That's a money making idea! I package it and sell it as a gourmet product. Maybe sell it oversees in Asia, right next to ground up rinoccerous horns for male apendage enlargement.:laughing:

I don't really pay attention to sarcasm because it's a troll thing and it's best that people just ignore those things as it just the trolls way of getting attention.
There is a link that they mite like though but if your not a troll or one of his followers I wouldn't open this link because it could be harmful to trolls.

Tried cowboy coffee?

Put a pot of water on the campfire and bring to a boil
Add 2 lb of ground coffee of your choice.
let it boil for 1/2 hr
throw a horse shoe in the pot,if it floats the coffee is ready.
If it sinks,add more coffee and boil a bit longer.
