"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I keep wondering if cold brew will be easier on my stomach. I haven't been able to drink coffee since I had my gallbladder surgery.

I love coffee, but the acid and caffeine really get to my stomach. Is cold brew better/worse for those of us who have "sensitive stomachs"?

Cold brew is supposed to be less acidic.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have a rumble jar but it is still in the packaging. I hardly make my own coffee lately, I pretty much only drink it at the office and I figure I might as well drink the stuff they provide.

Give me that french dessert with espresso poured over vanilla all day though.

Affogato? I though that was Italian. It's freaking delicious wherever it comes from. But coffee ice cream is also delicious. As are chocolate covered espresso beans. And just the other day I was finishing off the half cup of coffee leftover from the morning that had been sitting on my desk for several hours and it was particularly delicious, also. So, you know, coffee=yum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Cold brew definitely tastes less acidic or bitter or something, which is why I like it less! (Which is weird, given that I put milk and sugar in.)

WTF Is Up With People Drinking Iced Coffee In Freezing Weather?

The person with the Dunks in the snow with no gloves is definitely from MA or RI.

Now I want a coffee frappe.

Jess, how much coffee does the rumble jar net you? It's a 32 ounce jar obviously but do you dilute it? (We have a ten-cup machine - which I think is 60 ounces not 80 thought - and drink the whole pot every morning, so I'm wondering what would work for us.)

So, the mandatory fun is a little too free form to hold my attention for 2.5 hours. My lunch was good, but the people who got gyros thought their servings were half what they should be. They let us know before hand that the only provided drinks would be water and Gatorade so I went to buy a coke from the machine and the machine is out of order! Bah.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Someday I will be a real grownup and be able to drink coffee. Supertasting is supposed to fade as you grow older (taste buds die off, seriously) but it sure hasn't happened to me yet.

Hey. New board.

Yes affogato wrong country. Sorry Italy.

I think cold brew is easier on my stomach because of the acid, but the caffeine is higher. Depends I guess.
