Title: WAKE UP
Post by: Ron LaClair on January 09, 2021, 01:13:17 PM: When you first get up, put some flavor in your cup.

I like coffee black and I like it strong
I might live without it but not for long
put cream in my coffee and sugar for her
You're going to need a fork to stir

Post by: Sam McMichael on January 09, 2021, 02:47:17 PM: Strong black coffee is the only way for me to properly start the day. I knew I had my brew just right when my retired Marine boss highly complimented the way I make it.

Post by: katman on January 09, 2021, 05:50:56 PM: Strong and black is a proper cup of coffee, imo.
Just received my backwoods grind beans and looking forward to a fresh ground cup in the am. That's a good looking coffee mug Ron.

Post by: Ron LaClair on January 09, 2021, 06:20:38 PM: My next order will be beans when I find my coffee grinder

I have an antique grinder just like the one Kevin Costner used in Dance's with Wolves

Post by: BigErn on January 10, 2021, 07:21:32 PM: Black and strong.Got to have that coffee to make it through the day!
Title: Re: WAKE UP
Post by: nineworlds9 on January 11, 2021, 07:47:58 AM: I need it to have caffeine in it, preferably strong enough that I might question if it was made from Columbian coca leaves :bigsmyl:. I'll do it black if its strong enough or Im in the field, I hate watery black coffee. Otherwise among civilization I like at least cream in it to mellow the acidity. I also generally drink it over ice. If Im drinking hot coffee most other folks around me have already frozen to death :laughing:
Title: Re: WAKE UP
Post by: 1Arrow1Kill on January 11, 2021, 08:27:44 AM: For years I always told folks when they would ask if I needed cream/sugar; "Nope, my Daddy always told me 'Drink it black or drink it somewhere else'."

About age 55 I was having breakfast with my Father who was around 80 and the waitress asked if I needed cream or sugar. I said, "Nope, my Daddy here always always told me to drink it black or drink it somewhere else." My Dad looked at me and said, "I never even heard that before."

Told my wife the story and she stated, "See, I told you, you always make stuff up."

Anyways, I drink coffee BLACK . . . regardless of what my Dad and Wife say . . .

Title: Re: WAKE UP
Post by: Sam McMichael on January 11, 2021, 07:48:49 PM: Cream and sugar are for people who don't really like the taste of coffee.
Title: Re: WAKE UP
Post by: degabe on January 11, 2021, 08:25:08 PM: I only want coffee in my coffee. The stuff we drank in the Navy was stiff enough to stand a spoon in.

Just add a tiny pinch of salt to your cup and it'll knock the acidity right out. Smooooth black now.

Ron, so when you walked into the General Store in the 1800’s to buy your coffee grinder, how much did it cost? Or did you just trade some gold or firs?? 😉

Post by: Ron LaClair on January 17, 2021, 01:40:36 PM: It cost me 1 beaver pelt for the grinder and 3# of coffee beans,

Title: Re: WAKE UP
Post by: reddogge on January 24, 2021, 10:30:04 PM: I drink mine black. I still remember in the mid 60s I had a sales job that required me to go to mom and pop grocery stores and also chains. One was the A&P and they still had a couple of the old-time stores with wooden floors in the area. The coffee grinder was upfront at the checkouts and you'd smell that fresh ground coffee the second you'd step into the store. I can still smell it.
