Weak Coffee or No Coffee?

albionmoonlight · 03-21-2008, 08:59 AM

A particulary weak cup in the office this morning got me thinking about this poll.

Logan · 03-21-2008, 09:07 AM

No doubt. The coffee sucks in the office I spend most of my time. I'd rather make tea or go out for good coffee.

Coffee Warlord · 03-21-2008, 09:08 AM

I cannot be defeated!

Kodos · 03-21-2008, 09:13 AM

I voted no coffee at all, since I hate coffee and its awful stench.

Celeval · 03-21-2008, 09:22 AM

If you add enough cream and sugar, weak coffee is bearable.

Sorry, misspoke.

Fucking alien.

st.cronin · 03-21-2008, 09:33 AM

All coffee is weak. But, it will do.

korme · 03-21-2008, 11:30 AM

I think I'm been thinking about trying to drink coffee. When I slam red bulls I'm much more alive in the morning and I think that helps friendliness as well... but coffee tastes like the bottom of a trash can to me. Should I dump buckets of cream in it?

rkmsuf · 03-21-2008, 11:32 AM

I've never had a Red Bull.

Ever.

Cringer · 03-21-2008, 11:32 AM

Shorty, stick to black, like your men.

Jas_lov · 03-21-2008, 11:33 AM

Weak coffee is definitely better than no coffee at all. I usually drink it without any sugar or cream.

rkmsuf · 03-21-2008, 11:36 AM

I've never had a black man.

Ever.

A fucking plus

terpkristin · 03-21-2008, 06:31 PM

I'm going to vote weak coffee here, though with the caveat that it must actually taste like coffee. The swill they have at my office looks a little bit like coffee and smells a bit like it, but is weak beyond belief and tastes like dirty dishwater, so I refuse to drink it. I come into the office with a 24 oz thermal mug of coffee brewed at home and then switch to tea and water.

Izulde · 03-21-2008, 06:42 PM

No coffee over weak coffee. There's nothing worse than weak coffee. Tastes like boiled water with brown food coloring.

jeff061 · 03-21-2008, 06:57 PM

Tastes like crap. But the fix is needed nonetheless.

cartman · 03-21-2008, 07:05 PM

+1.

There's a Kenco coffee factory in Banbury, en route between me and my folks/hometown. I am the only non-coffee drinker in my family, and I am the only one who can smell the foul odour as I drive past. Truly nasty.

I am 34 years old and have had 4 sips of coffee in my life: I have been physically sick instantaneously two of these times.

I can taste if a cup of tea has been stirred with a spoon that has previously been used to stir a cup of coffee.

The only answer to this queston for me is no coffee!

Buccaneer · 03-21-2008, 07:47 PM

I am the only American left that has never, ever drank coffee.

Buccaneer · 03-21-2008, 07:48 PM

Good thing I qualified that with "American" since Jari is in the same boat, except that I actually like the smell of some brewed coffee.

Step aside, you got some company. Which is funny considering my occupation.

korme · 03-21-2008, 08:02 PM

I actually think Bucc is way off. I don't know any friend of mine that drinks coffee, ever. Maybe a girl every once and a while, or maybe it is just a post-college thing to pick up a consistency with.

MJ4H · 03-21-2008, 08:25 PM

I've never had coffee in my entire life. Can't stand the smell so I won't go near it.

Buccaneer · 03-21-2008, 08:28 PM

Heh, guess I was way off. Everyone I know at work drinks coffee, but we're mostly IT baby boomers.

cartman · 03-21-2008, 08:33 PM

I probably drink more coffee than JiMGa. Since I don't smoke, I just drink more coffee.

sabotai · 03-21-2008, 08:45 PM

I don't drink much coffee anymore, but there were times when I was drinking quite a bit a day. And I love walking by the coffee section of the supermarket.

sterlingice · 03-21-2008, 09:07 PM

Never really liked the smell so I've never picked it up. Well, that's not really accurate- it smells good but it doesn't smell like something I'd want to drink

SI

Oh, it's ON now

I'm pretty sure I've consumed more than Cora the old Maxwell House commercial lady. (a reference which most surely makes me feel awfully old)

I've got a self-grinding espresso/coffee machine from DeLonghi, and I go through 2 pounds of beans every week to 10 days.

According to some strenuous research a pound of beans makes roughly 3.2 gallons of coffee, so call it 6.5 gallons for you.

Lemme see here, that's 832 ounces or 83.2 ounces per day on the low end, 119 ounces on the high end.

I think my pot is 72 ounces (12 cups X tinyass 6 oz cups). I drink the better part of 3 pots per day typically, so roughly 200 ounces per day here, call it 180 since there's occasionally pour outs of dead stuff.

cartman · 03-21-2008, 11:45 PM

Probably a bit less in volume for me then, because I usually start out the morning with three or four shots of espresso to get going.

Kodos · 03-22-2008, 01:17 PM

I had one spoonful once because my girlfriend talked me into it. That will be the last coffee that ever passes my lips.

DaddyTorgo · 03-22-2008, 01:23 PM

i'm pretty sure that in my starbucks-working days I consumed more coffee than anybody on the board.

i've cut wayyyyyyy back now...to just 20 oz or so a day (40ish on the weekends).

edit: and by coffee in my starbucks-working days I should say caffeine, because I never had time to sit and actually drink brewed coffee, so it was shots of espresso solely.

now that I no longer work for the man i've switched to the brewed coffee and i'm down to 20-40oz a day

st.cronin · 03-22-2008, 01:31 PM

I like to just munch on espresso beans, as a snack.
