Cheezuz, this stuff smells like the cat box.

Having both a catbox and camomile available I can state unequivocably that you, darling Sensei, are out of your freakin mind.

Good morning.

I have a fresh pot of Caffe' D'Arte Meaning of Life on tap (my favorite brew).

Juke is playing at http://eklund.merseine.nu:8000

Does that mean black coffee? If it does, hook me up.

There was a saying about Seattle coffee that I remember seeing a long time ago. It went something like "Black as sin, strong as death" Or something to that effect. I'm sure our Seattle friends will set me straight. Anyway, that would be it.

Thanks dude, going to be another long day. Beers in the PM.

I'll have a coffee, too....

Reminds me of that old chestnut: I like my coffee like I like my women...

.... bitter, cold, and murky...

thanks for making me go out and look up "old chestnut". I sorta knew what it meant, but now I understand better.

Damn, sorry to hear that GE. Watch the caffeine after noon, that might help. Here's a big cuppa for now.

Do you know the saying I mentioned earlier?

BlueBirdPoof · Post by **BlueBirdPoof** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:46 am

Hm. I like my lattes like I like my blondes: hot, expensive, with lots of air on top. . .

Gimme a bar coffee--or I'll spam you with 100 packets of "instant cappucino."

me too.

I've never heard the saying Sputnik, though I HAVE only been here a little over a year.

As far as watching caffeine after noon... 1) caffeine really doesn't affect me that way, I could drink it right before bed if I wanted to and 2) I haven't had any coffee yet this week... so... yeah. I think I was just too jacked up about a few things... rehearsal, I was overly tired, work stuff, personal stuff... my brain just couldn't let things go. It happens every once in a while. I'm sure i'll get a fine round of sleep tonight...

Morning friends, I'd like some coffee please, Hot Black Coffee

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:51 am

OK BlueBird, here's a plain ole coffee for you. I think it's been sitting a while.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:53 am

Zule! I thought you were laying off this place?

Here's a cuppa hot black for you.

Rian, want some?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:55 am

Java with some scotch for Sam.

GE, gotcha. Maybe some nice music to lull you to sleep?

*Poof! The fishy sets about fiddling with the kettle and the french press.*

Hey, you asked for bar coffee. French press sure ain't bar coffee.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:00 am

No I sure should give the place a break but I gotta get my fix.

I hate to bring this up in here but,....
Has anyone heard anything about the Borg2 meeting last night?

BlueBirdPoof · Post by **BlueBirdPoof** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 9:01 am

No what about the Borg2 meeting last night?

Sorry Sputnik, I suppose that was a bit disengenious of me. *soft chirp*

I just read on 3playa last night they were going to have one at chickens bar and they had a conference call set up, I have no idea what came of it.

Just wondering if they were getting there shit together.

the thing is, Sput, we take our coffee many different ways - and can be truly anal about all of them.

the real coffee snobs in our midst have certain mini-roasters they prefer (like vivace). There are certain places that are good to go for drip, maybe others for americanos, or mochas, or whatever, depending your taste. seattle coffee slaves tend to hate bad coffee, but late-night-diner-coffee IS in it's own category. and we can order coffee more slickly and confusingly than anyone else in the world.

for all of that, i have a big soft spot for the trucker coffee at the Cannonball truck stop in cannon falls, MN...

there are also the Starbucks automatons. starbucks isn't even good coffee. they burn their beans. NASTY!!!

If Literalism=fundamentalism Rian may have just started a new religious movement. E-Playa virtual barfly fundamentalism.

Rian, I am a coffee snob, I admit it. If I lived in Seattle I would be moreso. I've drank Caffe' D'Arte for about 10 years now. When the shop that carried it here went under I mail ordered for a while until a new place opened. Now I have two that I can get it at, a plus for me since one is close to work and the other close to home. My personal favs are the alderwood roasted variety of espresso, Fabriano.
