Mine is Turkish coffee with brownie cheese cake!

How the Bedouins make it:

-dark as the night
-strong as a man, and
-bitter as life

I like my coffee like I like my women...

In big cups and hot on my tongue!

Whufffff!

(Cheers Flasheart!)

So true of the sand pit!

Freshly ground "Gloria Jean's" vanilla blend

Best coffee in town is Barista.

Try their Jamaican or Cuban blends. A doppio espresso with a little shot of hot milk is best!

Jamaican Blue Mountain, the absolute best.

Totally agree with you. Where are you getting it from? I love my cawfee.

I don't know if you can get it here although I need to find out. I got mine from Jamaica couple of years ago whilst visiting.

Carluccio's Chicchi Di Caffe' Milano
An espresso roast, Arabica coffee beans, simply delicious and available in Dubai.

You got it the wrong way round Arnie, or was it a Freudian slip it should have been;

"Hello nursie, am I happy to see you or is this a canoe in my pocket?"

I have never seen the real thing here. Although its more than double the price of all other coffee, it is well worth it. (Salivating!!!!!)

Kopi Luwak is the Worlds most expensive coffee, but it tastes like shit.

I have a small packet of that sitting on my desk!

The beans have to be 'passed' by the local civet before they can be 'harvested' and then roasted. Sounds like a shit job to me! Not plucked up the courage to try it yet!

I have seen Jamaican Blue Mountain grounds in Waitrose...take out a mortgage to buy it though!

Personally, I mix Danessi and Tchibo caffe crema beans and grind them fresh. Its quite drinkable and reasonably priced.

Well at around £150.00 per lb, and considering, unlike a good wine, it is deteriorating with age, I would get it brewed up one morning and enjoy it while it’s still drinkable, maybe even invite a few friends over to join you … Friend

My fave daily drink is Tim Horton's from Canada. Fortunately, friends and family visit often and bring it back for me. I also like the Jacobs brand from the supermarket. Can't stand Starbucks. As I used to visit Jamaica quite a bit, I could hardly wait to try the Blue Mountain coffee. I honestly can say I did not see what all the fuss was about. I tried many brands and there was little consistency. A few were quite nice, but not worth the price; a few were bitter and downright poop.
