as I type. By roasting my own and buying from the importer I get $20/lb single origin beans for $5-10/lb. I use pour over, French Press, Chemex, stovetop espresso, cold brew, and Aeropress. No machines.

Just seeing this thread, and your posts have me thinking about making a coffee. I like to cook mine in a small pot Turkish style. Finely ground with ground cardamom pods.

any type of coffee beans work and any consistency, however. I love chicory, and Winn-Dixie carries their brand of New Orleans roast with chicory root. Very inexpensive and delicious. Thank you for an awesome thread!

raising my mug to yours.

I did cold brew for the first time this summer. I need a bigger rig for it next year. I just used my French press this year, but it’s a little small.

There's a Coffee War going on right now up here!
McDonald's vs Tim Horton's, and my money's on the former.

The Canadien Grammar Police will be paying you a visit, you keep that up, eh ... ;-}

I like Wendy's end run on the law ... love that maple leaf subbing in for the real thing!

(Somewhere in Canadas northern reaches, there's a landfill full of apostrophes)

Oh. Coffee. I keep a bag of 8 O'Clock original beans handy for emergencies, but am fortunate to be just up the road from one of the best coffee mills around. Burn their own beans they do. They have the usual blends, but also some killer unique brews - they even have a coffee based BBQ seasoning that tastes a lot better than it sounds.

Currently on hand here ...

- Guatemala La Esperanza
- Panama Jaguar Boquete
- Black & Tan
- New Orleans Blend (w/chicory)
- Michigan Cherry

I have a Mr.Coffee drip maker and a Keurig machine.

On those mornings where I have to be somewhere, its the Keurig for a quick cup.

Mornings where I DON'T have to be anywhere, I brew not quite a full pot which gives me a leisurely 3 to 4 cups over a few hours.

Coffee is Maxwell house, or Folgers, whatever's on sale.

Flavored cane syrup for sweetness and flavor, half and half for lightening.

I always wash out the pot with hot water, detergent and baking soda for neutralization of coffee acids.

Coffee is one of the morning's great pleasures.

Mr Coffee drip maker? Sacrilege to do that to perfectly good beans! Somebody ban this cretin from the thread!! <G>

PS ... anybody put salt in their coffee? Just a bit in the pot does wonders for some blends. I'm also a certifiable slurper - A good slurp and a swish aerates the coffee and really hits the tastebuds with all the coffee has to offer. The regular crew at the coffee shop has a dedicated "no slurping" section, as it seems to annoy some people. Try it - you'll like it.

Quadman's post may be correct as written. Unless you just want to move the apostrophes!

Given that their name is "Wendy's" how do you make it possessive?
Talking about the company, not the girl.

That is hilarious. I can't stand slurping sounds, even when they're my own.

More like REmove said apostrophe's ... na'sty little thing's anyway's.

Why is Tim Hortons not Tim Horton's?

(Speaking of hilarious - love the way the apostrophe doesn't show because it's a restricted character in links. Seems to me that started out as a Linux thing. )

Barney's got rid of its apostrophe too. The question before us, though, is: how do you now make it possessive? It's now "Barneys" just like "Tim Hortons". We know the apostrophe should follow the 's' now, but should there be an additional 's' after the apostrophe? Technically, a name may be construed as singular despite ending in an 's'. Ergo: is it Tim Hortons' coffee or Tim Hortons's coffee?

For extra fun, try and explain Lands' End.

Apologies to the coffee lovers in this thread. Skiz and I should probably get a room.

For me it's their Port Side Blend Whole Bean. Good stuff.

Sorry ... I don't swing that way ... ;-}

And it's more of a French influence, so English rules don't apply. French language has no apostrophe or equivalent character, and designates possessive ... well ... as French are allowed to do, using possessive adjectives and the like prior to a proper name.

PS ... just for you. Put this on a loop for a while and maybe you'll get to like it. <G>

Oh. These guys are probably lucky they're not in Canada ...

Hey Anus ... what's the special today?
Yesterday's meatloaf ... coming right out!

Oh. Topic = coffee. I hear Anu's has some pretty good traditional Indian "filter coffee". Pass it on.

Eh.... this thread is in OT rather than Food & Drinks so I guess everything's allowed.

BTW, you may be amused to know I too deride the plague of apostrophe's.

I tell people: "When in Doubt, Leave it Out."

Apostrophe ending usually indicated collective possessive, as belonging to all lands collective.
Apostrophe before, I don't know anymore, thought it was possessive and s without, collective.

I keep a Sterling cycle caloric demo engine sitting on my drip coffee maker to silently churn during the brewing for my amusement.
