Lady Alyx Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 mmmmm donuts... ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Red Cat Jenny Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Nothing makes the car smell as good as when you bring home a bag of freshly ground coffee.. Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Dorian Lasseter Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Hmm.... fresh coffee smell.... that beats new car smell any day... less toxic too.. I think.... Truly, D.

Red-Handed Jill Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Occasionally, I'll take some fresh beans, tie them in cheesecloth and put them under the seat of my car. As the car warms up, the wonderful odor of coffee surrounds me.
Lady Alyx Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Jill, they should make a car airfreshener with fresh coffee ground smell eh? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Red-Handed Jill Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Yeah, but they always seem to mess up the scents. Seriously - try the coffee beans in the cheesecloth trick. Or even scatter a few under your seat.
Lady Alyx Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Ever have those chocolates with the coffee beans? Chocolate covered espresso beans I think they are called. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Dorian Lasseter Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Jill, they should make a car airfreshener with fresh coffee ground smell eh? Yankee Candle CO. makes several... and they do smell correctly... can't find them on the website, but in the stores... Truly, D.

Red-Handed Jill Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Ever have those chocolates with the coffee beans?Chocolate covered espresso beans I think they are called. Yep! They are addictive - but I have to be careful or there's no sleep for me... There are also chocolates that have the coffee incorporated into them and are shaped like slightly larger coffee beans; they're called Mocha Beans. They are SO good. I used to have a source to get them wholesale but sadly, no longer.
Patrick Hand Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Seriously - try the coffee beans in the cheesecloth trick. Or even scatter a few under your seat. I knew someone that liked the smell of French Frys (or should I call them Freedom Frys..... drat that Political name calling stuff) Anyway..... I don't think that is why there were "loose" French/Freedom Frys under thier car seat tho.....................................

Lady Alyx Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Question..."Why do french fries always find their way under the car seat?" Coffee scented candles....wow that will make me want to have cake or pie with it....! I passed by some great smelling candles in the gourmet grocery store....but I could not figure out which one grabbed my attention so...I kinda boiled it down to one I think is Ginger and White Green Tea. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx

blackjohn Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 One time in a lack of sleep induced haze I walked to the corner $tarbuck$ and ordered a six shot espresso. There was this dude behind me, and as I'm standing there waiting for my drink he says to me, "excuse me sir, did I hear you order a six shoot espresso." I nodded and smiled. His stunned reply, "wow." When I have the money, I'm more often than not a venti no whip extra hot mocha kinda guy. These days I've been french-pressing my own in my cube early in the morning. For about the last week or so I've picked up this odd habit of making a cup of cocoa keeping the bitter dregs of the coffee. Puzzling. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
Lady Alyx Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 what is a 6 shot espresso? ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx

Capt. Sterling Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 what is a 6 shot espresso? something that should keep the average joe awake "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/

CrazyCholeBlack Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Reading that Wiki link reminded me of my mother who has her own coffee drink. Being the person that she is, she can't just get a drink, it has to be special & not just normal special; Really Special. She gets a "HEAVY BREVE" A breve with steamed heavy cream (none of that wimpy low fat half & half or *gasp* regular milk!) The funny thing is that they've put it on the menu at *both* her local Starbucks. yet I'm the one in the family who never sleeps?

Silent Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 It all depends really, if I'm at work and need to wake up I go for coffee. If I'm in the mood to relax I'll sit down, watch the news or whatever and sip on some tea.
Patrick Hand Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 After reading the Wiki link, I got wondering..... A room-mate bought an espresso machine at a yard sale.... but she couldn't get it to work.... She filled the water chamber all the way up, and it overflowed the cup.... I told her how to do it, but she just gave-up.... and gave it to me.... So when I brew my morning cup of coffee, I run it through the espresso machine..... Now where it starts to get scarry...... after reading the article, I decided to see what happens is I ground the coffee to powder..... then packed it into a coffee puck in the metal bowl.... added sugar, and "let-her-rip....." I've run powdered coffee through the thing before..... but if You "Pack-it" , it comes out even better..... Well now to go play with a Tempral-field flux-compassidor and some rubber bands.........
Lady Alyx Posted March 1, 2007 Posted March 1, 2007 Do you think the list of variations is enough...geeezus..(re wiki link)... Cafe Mocha at starbucks for me...just simple. ~~~~Sailing Westward Bound~~~~ Lady Alyx
Patrick Hand Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Well....... the Tempral-field flux-compassidor and some rubber bands didn't work as I had hoped..... So I'll just stick to something safe...... Like playing with other ways to make coffee....... In the Muzzleloading Forum there was a thread about making camp coffee.... someone posted about putting an egg (broken ?) in the pot with the water and coffee grounds...... Don't think I wanna try that one.........
