Coffee

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.

I think you've narrowed down the Canadian Police to just Quebec, with "Canadien"...as only guys would be included with your French spelling, eh? :D

And maybe to put the apostrophe to rest...maybe the first store was named after the Tim Horton who played in the NHL, and called "Tim Horton's" after him. Then, each store thereafter was just named with just the "s". This would indicate another in the chain. The apostrophe might cause confusion? Dunno?

These are my day to day beans

I recently brought back some beans from the Bahamas that were just downright amazing, the beans were so much greasier and aromatic than what I"m used to. Soon as I opened a bag, the smell filled the room. They didn't have any branding, just mylar vac sealed bags, with some stickers that look like they came out an inkjet printer stuck on them.
 
Hey!

Always wondered where one can get that terrific exotic coffee that Nicholson bragged about in his role in the movie, "The Bucket List"? :D

Remember that?

I gave up caffeine a couple years ago but still need coffee. I enjoy DECAF MAJOR DICKASON'S BLEND brewed with a Bialetti Musa.

There's a Coffee War going on right now up here!
McDonald's vs Tim Horton's, and my money's on the former.
At Mac's right now, $1.00 any size, a free refill if over 65, and a freebie after seven cups.
The Brazilian owned Timmy's is hurtin'

When I can find a Tim Hortons, I go there. For my money it's better than Starmuck's. Ten years ago and then some, they opened a dozen here in NYC and The Lovely Blanche was head over heels. For some reason or other, they did no print, radio or TV advertising and now there's only one left. For home, it's Death Wish Wholw Bean ground in a 100 year old Arcade Crystal #3 wall-mounted grinder. The flavor is very close to a Jamaican Blue Mountain, but it's got a lot more caffeine.

@Grenadeslio Are we talking about coffee in general in this thread, or brands (& types of coffee), specifically?

Espresso addict here... I've had my share of espresso makers over the last 10 years or so, to the point where I can't imagine a morning without coffee! :) And yes, I do have pictures to share, I just want to make sure that we're on the same side.

I'm a fool for espresso myself... if your interested, I will share my favorite!

OP- Would you be surprised to know that there is a coffee tasting wheel out there, like the ones they use for wine? Though the world of wine is wide and varied, I personally feel like there is a greater breadth and subtlety available the educated coffee pallet. If you live near most major (and some minor) cities, you can find a roaster... some will do tasting/cupping events. Many will even just let you pop in on an individual basis to check it out. I love it... :)

I hear you on the demise of Tim's in NYC, but they're alive and doing well in the Buffalo area.

As a counterpart, Target did the very same in Canada for all the same reasons above and more..so they pulled out en masse.

Daughter sent me a bag of "Kicking Horse" coffee and won me over. It's a real waker upper!

Coffee was started out in a garage by a couple in Invermere British Columbia in 1963. Since then, it's caught on with many who enjoy a real cuppa coffee across Canada. Some call it "Kick Ass" coffee, due to a story that took place way back in 1858.

The story goes like this:
Seems that one of the early explorers, while doing work on the railway being built in the Rocky Mountains, was kicked in the head by a horse. They thought he was dead! But someone tried to pour some down the unconscious gullet, and it revived him. So started the legend of "Kicking Horse" coffee, that is even available online now. And it is damned good, eh?
