What coffee are you drinking just now?

[UnderOpenSky]

I tried to have iced coffee a couple of times last year and hated it every time. Just doesn’t taste right

I can see it as a marmite thing. I've only ever had the premade milky stuff, which is ok,but frankly I'd rather drink an energy drink.

This was a different beast. I think I'll have to try another one at some point to decide. Apparently it's called Freddo like the chocolate. Google says it should have a dash of milk and normally sugar, but this was definitely just fresh strong coffee, rapidly chilled with a lot of ice.

It took me a while to like iced coffee, but I do now.

i nearly always regret ordering iced coffee the few times I do - when it’s really hot - but definitely needs milk and sugar for it to stand a chance imho.

Couldn't really make this up ...

I was down to my last few days of beans - hopefully new supply will arrive in time...

So Monday morning I carefully weigh 22g of beans into the grinder.

It takes me a minute to hand grind the beans while I was doing stuff online - wasn't aware of any change ...
When I tipped the ground coffee into the aeropress it seemed somewhat stuck in there ...
When I pressed the plunger, I couldn't get it more than half way ...

Initially I assumed I'd somehow left yesterday's grounds in there - but that's almost impossible - so I reckon I'd already weighed beans into the grinder yesterday and made my coffee with 44g of beans - SIX espressos.

It tasted wrong, but initially not super-strong ...
Thankfully I haven't drunk all of it, but if I was half asleep earlier, I'm somewhat unpleasantly wired now ...
I'll put the rest of the mug in the fridge just in case...

BP 126 / 73 pulse 73 so the caffeine doesn't seem to be doing damage



Edit :- With only 35g of beans left and a dilemma for the next couple of days, that issue has been averted thanks to my new beans being delivered by hand the same day I ordered them

These are the moment. You can't go wrong with Jolly Bean and Joel the owner/roaster is always doing great 'recession proof' coffees. These are amazing

The pregnancy which resulted in my younger daughter made itself known to us in Bewleys on Grafton Street.

Mrs LR thought the coffee tasted weird, so she went and got a pregnancy test from Boots opposite and did the test in Bewleys toilets, then relayed the news to me at the table.

For years daughter two told people - teachers, all sorts - she’d been conceived in the toilets of Bewleys. She was embarrassed to finally discover what conceived meant.

I always wondered why her teachers looked at us funny at Parent-Teachers’ evenings.

Do you know, that's where I got my coffee from. It tasted fine but I'd get some odd looks perhaps if I bought a plt in the boots, still there

I needn't have skimped this morning.
I ordered the beans at 08.05 and they arrived at 09.30 !!
I can't promise the same service to anyone else. I suspect the proprietors pass near my house on the way to and from the shop.

I'm still drinking the same 50/50 blend of El Salvador red bourbon and "natural" Brazilian.

Nescafé original with boiled UHT milk and two sugar cubes

That should horrify the coffee connoisseurs out there

I got into café frappé when I was on holiday in Greece. Instant coffee whizzed up with ice and milk. Bloody lovely on a hot day.
