I love Irish cream in my coffee. I've not seen that brand. I usually get St. Brenden's around Christmas, and give a couple bottles out for gifts. Right now I've been using Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice creamer.
Wait, what? Pumpkin Spice Bailey’s is a thing? How am I just learning this now?We use Brendan’s as well; poor man’s Bailey’s. Pumpkin Spice Bailey’s is good as well......
When I was in Kenya, I liked Kenyan coffee. When I was in Turkey, well, you get the idea. I like coffee well enough that I'll probably drink whatever is locally available, and I usually like it because it's better than no coffee, at the least.
Bwaaaaa-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! :lamo :lamo :lamo
But seriously, I've had both Kenyan and Turkish coffee in liberal amounts and Kenyan coffee, as I remember it, is served like any normal drip coffee is served, (or in a press? I've seen Kenyans use a press on several occasions) but Turkish is made in a very primitive and basic style.
You could run Turkish coffee BEANS through a standard grind and a drip process, I suppose, but it will not BE "Turkish Coffee" the way Turks know the drink!
Turkish coffee is a finely ground powder, almost DUST to be accurate.
I tried an experiment once where I ground very dark roasted Italian espresso beans to a powder and made it Turkish STYLE, and it was very interesting.
I was alternately praised and cursed by my Armenian and Turkish friends.
I am so excited that I can participate in this thread. I was diagnosed with afib about 5 years ago. I was told, "No caffeine!" so for the last 5 years, I've been completely caffeine free.
One particularly miserable day, I decided I wanted a cup of coffee. A real cup, and not that nasty decaf **** that passes for coffee. I looked up the caffeine content and was very surprised at how low a cup of coffee is. I then looked up how much I am allowed without it affecting my afib, and I can realistically have 2 to 3 cups per day. I don't drink much, but glory glory, to know that I could even have one really good cup of coffee a day was like Christmas coming early.
To find out that I could actually have ice-cold regular Dr. Pepper in a can? Like two Christmases in the same year.
So what was the restriction on caffeine intake? Were they afraid you might start gulping down NO-DOZ tablets by the gross?
My mother had AFIB for thirty years and she had her regular morning coffee and sometimes even a demitasse of espresso in the evening, like any good Italian lady should.
I like to pride myself on having tried a jillion different types of coffee but one thing I've never ever tried, despite having been all over Louisiana, and NOLA in particular, is coffee with CHICORY.
I heard chicory is a kind of weed or herb, but I've never had coffee with chicory in it and I have no idea what it tastes like or what purpose it serves. I've never even asked about it before.
Honestly? I do not know. They just told me no caffeine. Period. They were the doctor, so I trusted what they said. But about 2 or 3 months ago, I was jonesing for a good cup of coffee so badly that I was ready to just do it.
Yeah my doc said no coffee for 6 months after my surgery. And in my research most docs that perform this have no issue with it. So I tried a cup, and it didn't cause me issues, and I've been back on a cup a day.
Can anybody guess my favorite coffee? Huh, can ya? :mrgreen:
Plebian, basic, but for me, nothing has beat it yet.....
I love it, but it's a unique taste.
Thanks but that doesn't tell me much.
What DOES this "unique taste" TASTE LIKE?
What does chicory taste like? Is it sweet? Is it extra bitter? Is it sour? Is it herbal? Is it spicy?
It's sweet.
