What do you order at the coffee house?
 

Are you an espresso counter latte-mocha kind of person? Or brewed coffee?

I invariably go for brewed coffee except around Christmas when I am inexplicably drawn to nutmeg-y, sugar-y mocha concoctions.

mocha type

lattes.
Or cafe au lait

oh i hate that sugary shit. i'd rather be honest with myself and eat cookies, rather than have a pastry incorporated into the cup.

when i was a coffee drinker i was a double espresso kind of guy, and when i smoked it was a double americano w/ half the water (last longer, for a couple of smokes). sometimes i'd add a little half and half but rarely sugar.

I normally hate it, too. But like I say, for some reason I don't understand, I crave it around the winter holidays. I drink it like crazy for about three weeks, then stop.

I think it goes back to that bully in 2nd grade who told me about Santa Claus.

double espresso.

oh. see, when november comes & the weather starts getting chilly, i begin to crave BACON. other times of the year i have little use for it. :confused:

Like the people in line sometimes who've never been to a coffee place before... "I'll take a regular coffee." "Uh, sir, we have 10 choices of brewed coffee, ranging from dark to light, and we have an espresso bar where--" "No, no, just regular coffee, please."

Cafe Legere

i hate it when there is too many options, i just want regular normal coffee with no fuss or logo on the foam.

White widow.

i have a problem with the way "regular" coffee is brewed in america. it's watery & lacks taste.

HOWEVER i'll drink a "regular" coffee if it's a dark & smoky brew, like a french roast.

yes. i do love dark roasts. light roasts have too much acidity & demand spoonfuls of sugar, and what's the fun of that syrupy goo?

even the coffee in the airport is good in france. and you can smoke right out in the open in the airport.

The French live right.

I'm going for my coffee fix now. I may or may not be back, depending on how rough the homeless bunch is today out on the ped mall.

i'd like to live there someday. my french is decent enough to get by without being gawked at.

Don't worry, all the ones worth talking to speak English anyway.

Orange Juice.

That's good. I tried my French out on a Parisian store clerk (and not the friendliest looking woman, either) to ask for the time, and got the nastiest look you can imagine.

j'adore pookie

jus d'orange

Bien!

un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, huit, neuf, dix!

Bof..

un milliard!

Ce qui?

I don't go to coffee shops really.

I'm a hardcore coffee fiend and that means I need mass quantities. beyond that, I'm way too cheap to spend $3 for something that I can normally just swivel around in my chair for (at work the pot is right behind me).

I will only drink it black, and actually I prefer it to be a little cold so that I can SLAM it down.

my level of tiredness in the morning is measured by how far I can drive before I start dreaming about my first cup.

lately, I've been trying to not drink so much in the afternoon because by the time I'm off work I'm totally supersonic.

a billion!

(i'm not actually making conversation, i'm just saying random shit.)

Wow, nice day out there on the mall. I went to the Java House outlet in the Prairie Lights Book Store, a 3 block walk north down Dubuque St., under a clear blue sky, temp in the low 80s, humidity low, people looking fairly happy and normal eating lunch on the ped mall. Even saw a young kid leaving the record store with a new LP under his arm--this is a good omen, I think to myself.

At the coffee shop I order an Indian Monsooned somethingorother, a dark and rich coffee. Also an oatmeal raisin cookie. I browse the magazine racks, as I usuallly do, and buy nothing.

Man, it's nice down here today. I'm going to miss this place.

Black coffee, no sugar. AMT are my favourite coffee people - good price, great quality, fairtrade, nice staff.

green tea frappucino

I hate coffee houses and coffee gives me a sore throat

tea.

coffee shops are far too expensive for my taste. but if i must, a hot chai.

One new Sonic Youth compliation please. heh heh

usually i like to get a black dark roast coffee, preferably south american.

Avoir faim de Saturnin.

Same here thank you.
I can afford going to coffee houses very rarely though, but on those rare occasions I tend to choose something special.

I work at one so don't pay for anything but just drink lots of coffee. I can whip up a mean cappuccino though. And this french teacher tells me I make the best frozen vanilla chai in town. It's a craft, people.
