i used milk and sugar when i first started out. once i ran out of sugar at work, i was too lazy to restock and got used to milk only.

surprised at all the black drinkers

I started drinking coffee when I started eating pho, so late teens. There was nothing like an ice coffee and a smoke, after a nice bowl of pho.

I drink so much coffee, upwards of 4 cups a day, and sometimes more. It keeps my hands busy while working. Having free coffee flowing at work doesn't help either.

J-Chow 01-13-2015 06:19 PM

Started drinking coffee ever since I worked at the airport.

Medium double double.

Or Iced Americano double shot.

Fuck you tim hortons and starbucks. :)

Now, whenever I drink coffee, I have to shit.

Tru story. :lawl:

meowjinboo 01-13-2015 06:32 PM

Ice coffee with 1 squirt of sugar (and i swear to god if they put anymore i'll freak) and half and half.

I love the taste.

Mining 01-13-2015 06:39 PM

If I drink coffee it is usually black with 1 sugar

hud 91gt 01-13-2015 06:47 PM

Black, although sometimes I don't mind a little cream but usually too lazy. Love my coffee. Oh ya


Nespresso at home because it's convenient and I'm not home too much so it's not too expensive. I might even be risky enough to say I like going out for a coffee more then I like going for a beer, and I REALLy like beer.

Jayboogz 01-13-2015 06:56 PM

when i got time at home i make dat vietnamese drip coffee with a little condensed milk.
when im in a rush at home i got that aeropress for quick cup.
my family runs through about 2-3Lb of dark roast from continental coffee on commercial lol

Also,


I don't know what it is about this combo but whenever I eat pho and have an iced coffee I'm hacking a lung up walking outa place, seems like that combo for some reason loosens up the shit in my chest lol, literally every time

ive always wanted to try that viet style coffee...

as for me i used to be at least 2 med double doubles from timmies a day, when it was warm out it was ice coffee.. then i looked at how much i was spending and have drastically reduced to maybe once a week

now i just make coffee at home in the morning before work and use 1 table spoon of flavored cream.. *soundy*

i noticed since i make coffee at home i dont like the taste of timmies as much anymore though.. but thats good for my bank account! MOAR CAR PARTS!

:fuckyea:


but srs, someone wanna give me more into on this viet coffee phenomenon

Minus the coffee he uses, here's the gist of it:

How to Brew Vietnamese Iced Coffee - I Need Coffee

SkinnyPupp 01-13-2015 07:28 PM

For viet coffee you need a dark roast with robusta beans. Yeah I know, coffee snobs won't touch that shit. But that's how it is - super strong, bitter coffee offset by super sweet creamy condensed milk. It's not meant to be a fancy coffee - it's basically a dessert.

smarv 01-13-2015 07:52 PM

12oz double Americano with little bit of milk and brown sugar every morning.

multicartual 01-13-2015 08:42 PM

A Tim Horton's double double is like a vampire drinking holy water for hipsters


Americano with a few splashes of organic milk from non-chain uppity hipster cafes ONLY!

SkinnyPupp 01-13-2015 08:43 PM

What is a double double anyway? I keep seeing people say that... is that 2 cream 2 sugar?

For the best coffee flavour make sure your local cafe has a minimum number of edison bulbs and your barista has at least two visible tattoos

Alby 01-13-2015 08:49 PM

always a medium double double if i decide to get coffee

Special K 01-13-2015 08:56 PM

Coffee at Tims or Starbucks is such a money waster.


It would work for alertness in the first 1-2 hours and then I would get a HUGE headache on the 4th hour.

Great68 01-13-2015 10:15 PM

Fresh Ground Brew

Black on weekdays

A little bit of honey on weekends

Baileys on holidays

matrixfwd 01-13-2015 10:26 PM

I use a french press. Makes great strong coffee.

sdubfid 01-13-2015 10:26 PM

never tried coffee and its too late to start now

CCA-Dave 01-13-2015 10:28 PM

At home or the office, it's either French Press or Espresso. Usually with cream, and in winters with a just a touch of maple syrup. Anywhere but Tim Hortons, and it's usually just cream or a touch of sugar or honey. If it's timmies, and I drink too much timmies in the garage/shop, it's a double double.

Another vote for baileys on holidays...or some work days. My boss is pretty cool :P

Yes, 2 cream and 2 sugar. Its ratio'd out so that a small double double tastes exactly the same as an extra-large. It's just the total volume of beverage that changes.

Many consider it to be gross and unhealthy due to all the cream and sugar involved (admittedly, it is a lot of sugar in a large). But consider this: In Ontario the Triple-Triple is very common and in some areas (Hamilton area mostly) the 4x4 is well-known and popular! Gross!

I see.. double double sounds like it would barely taste like coffee anymore.. but a 4x4? :heckno:

Plus there's no way they are using real cream... It'll probably be a vegetable grease based non-dairy creamer :heckno:

Cream wouldn't be unhealthy, just high in calories. But that shit is certainly bad for you :heckno:

I very rarely drink coffee. I drink it max 3 times a year, double double. I drink a ton of water just like you Murdoc :woot2:
