The Indiana Jones of Coffee

[Shadow]

I like foo-foo flavors in my coffee, too




I really enjoy costco whole-bean. We have a burr-grinder and grind fresh before every brew. Makes a good cup

We have pinon coffee here...ever tried that? It's very good. Have a place I visit just to send NM coffee to friends and relatives around the holidays.

I really used to love to drink my coffee. Now Im sworn off coffee because of the caffeine. Of course I could drink decaffeinated but I decided to go with healthier fruit juices as a substitute. Back in the day I was wired like a big dog in wintertime when I drank 10 to 12 cups of very strong coffee a day!
I've only had two cups of coffee in the last 15 months.

I used to drink a lot of Iced tea...then I started working and since I don't drink coffee I got hooked on cokes. I need to cut back and drink more water.

You're letting you're inner hippy show on that one Shadow

I'll tell you my theory. The price of coffee isn't high per se. It just feels like it because of all the douche bags that line up at Starbucks to get a $5 cup of "foo foo" coffee. My wife is one of them. I actually had to put a budget restriction on her coffee spending! Meanwhile, I pay 50 cents for a large cup of coffee from the food truck that pulls up at my job and it tastes just fine in all it's roachy goodness.

Yeah...and now we have all the other foo foo coffee joints popping up all over the place...Satelite....Joe's Coffee..etc...

But...last time I tried to buy DD's coffee at the grocery store it was almost $12.00 a bag. I decided the brats could do without

Ah...the roach coach. I miss those...was very good for quickie breakfast burritos when I was preggers.

Good 'ole Juan Valdez.... I wonder if he is still alive and kicking?

One of them might be....but the original died in 1993. Here are some facts about Juan Valdez...seems he's had about 5 lives...

Juan Valdez was initially portrayed by José F. Duval in both print advertisements and on television until 1969. José Duval died in 1993 at the age of 72.^[4]
Juan Valdez had been embodied by Carlos Sánchez since 1969 and voiced by Norman Rose. In 2006, Sánchez announced his retirement,^[5] and Carlos Castañeda, a grower from the town of Andes, Antioquia, was selected^[6] by the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia as the new face of Juan Valdez.^[7]

Someone say coffee? Sure, I can use a cup! But pretty much only regular 'ol Green Mountain if away from home, and "Donut House" K cups for my Keurig machine. I'm telling you, they put crack in that stuff. I started drinking it about a year ago or so and haven't stopped since. Literally, been up for a year enjoying this yummy coffee! Gonna go refill now...

Juan Valdez aint got nothing in the xx beer guy-- Sasquatch took his picture Ive heard plus, he ran against the pamplona bulls, not with them. That's badass!

Cokes are far worse to drink that coffee! Far more bad ingredients ! Proceed with due caution my friend...-Tyr

Well....they are the same in one respect. They both get you addicted to caffeine...and then trying to give it up has some seriously crappy side effects. In my case... horrible migraines.

But, I agree...coke/sodas are evil. Now... I just need to work them out of my daily routine.

Try substituting a fruit drink, one with little or no added sugar. I buy cranberry juice and apple juice myself.
Orange juice for breakfast with a slice of raisan bread. Usually fish or chicken for lunch and supper. Chicken , I buy boneless, skinless and either have it baked or stir fried using olive oil. That way I can have my healthy veggies too.
Cokes = bad= 1.the caffeine, 2. the sweetners, 3. the artificial coloring, 4.the carbonation.
Coffee=bad= the caffeine. One or even two cups of coffee a day not so bad but more is a different story.
Avoid both and lose weight too is a win/win.-
Of course even if you dont need to lose any weight its still a win/win IMHO.-Tyr

Ewww....just say no to the orange juice.

I tend to eat a lot of stir fry when I am in diet mode...so that works for me. Wonder what other juice is availble. They have a million and one kinds these days...should be easy enough to find something good I would think. Other than water (which I need to drink more of too.)

I'm disappointed. I thought this thread was about Juan Valdez...

For a moment it had my interest, I love my coffee. Then it got all green and abs. I was out.
