What's your favourite hot beverage and how do you take it?

I am one that grinds my organic beans each morning and I take it black. I don't do Tims and if I need a coffee while driving I big a mug full from home. Occasionally I will have a black coffee from A & W if I forgot or have a sudden need :) No fancy coffees at Starbucks, sugar and coffee is disgusting to me. But boy I love a good cup of tea too. Black. Occasionally with some local unpasteurized honey, but usually just black.

large triple triple with milk. ;-) from anywhere but prefer homebrewed, n nothing fancy. I have a camo thermos I bring with me. ever used a camp perculator? I swear those things make the best coffee, camp coffee is way better than home coffee and its way more efficient. were bringing that perc home to use on the wood stove. :-)

:coffeeee:

Gimme a fine ground African coffee: Ethiopian wild beans are the best (beans are misshapen: may include rocks and sticks); or Kenyan or from Zimbabwe; but the real stuff is hard to find (we had an earlier post on food fraud); so most of the time its a blend from the grocery store. If you go by Kingston stop in at Cookes store and get a pound of Chez Piggy. With three cream and 1/8 spoon of sugar or a spot of maple syrup (takes the bitterness off). If on the road McD's beats Tim's anyday.

Or better yet, give me a "jumpstart" or "redeye", double espresso topped with regular coffee.

I have a Bialetti that makes great "outdoors" coffee. That always makes it better.

A long time ago i read a piece where the house of commons had a proposed bill tabled..it was in the sixties, early on, and the gist of it was that a law was to be enacted to limit the price of a pound of coffee to a max of 2 dollars. Now I found that incredible in its pomposity and of course a certain colonial mindset where the masses of the world should slave away for starvation wages to enrich the elite...as a young man still somewhat wet behind the ears, even I was agog at the sheer arrogance of that thinking....it has stuck with me all these years...and to this day i relish a cup of coffee and appreciate it for the pleasure it is... The price is inconsequential, although i am not a starbucks fan at all...and its the coffee, not the price...when i come across a crappy cup of coffee it saddens me a little thinking of the waste...by the way, i like it with a shot of cream, weaning myself off the sugar slowly...black?... Uh, no....
