One whole coffee

1.75 coffee

Mocha!

If you have any interesting conspiracy theories I’d love to hear about them! Hehe I’m to comfy to move from my Pillow Pile.

Coffee Fans!

Give me your wisdom cause I know nothing about coffee. 

What are the ‘classic’ coffee drinks?

Like if someone had to pick two or three drinks to be the picture of coffee in the dictionary... it’d be those.

Question for my American followers:

When you order coffee at a location that puts the milk/sugar/etc in for you, how do you order it? Do you use "double double" in the States?

Brainworks XLI - Coffee Question

I've always liked the smell of coffee, but I've never acquired a taste for coffee or any of its related beverages.

My wife doesn't care for the smell of coffee, but has recently become enamored of her daily cup or two to drink.

Do any of you find that you, too, prefer one (smell or taste) to the exclusion of the other, or do you find both senses satisfied by coffee?

Whenever I go out to buy coffee beans, I tend to buy ones that look like they have more of an oil coating. I've assumed they had extra flavor to them or something. Am I right? Are beans better oily? What does that speak about the flavor profile of the bean? Also, I assume this is an informative blog about coffee and questions relating to it but lately all I've seen are photos featuring coffee and tea?

It is an informative blog about coffee and questions are always welcome. I just have been distracted with work and Star Wars The Old Republic. :)But as for the oily nature of the beans it does somewhat speak to their flavor, but not in the way that you may think. It seems to have more to do with roast than with actual flavor; roasts fall into three categories which are light, medium, and dark. If you ever go to your local coffee shop and their espresso machine has a clear holding tank for the beans you may notice that they appear extremely oily. Espresso is classified as a dark roast, and so the lighter you go the less oily they become (and decaf tends to have no sheen at all). It's just naturally exuded the longer they roast which is also the reason why that lighter roast coffees also have a higher caffeine content (by a little at any rate) as less time in the oven means less burning off. 

In theory then your darker roast coffees will have a bolder, richer, full-bodied flavor which means they will have that highly oily sheen, BUT it's not a direct relationship. In fact, some medium and bold coffees often toe the lines of their distinction causing me to like some dark roasts over medium roast (medium tending to be my favorite). If there is anything I can further clarify feel free to ask. :)
