I can take or leave coffee. It's useful as an early-morning caffeine delivery system, but I prefer soft drinks.
When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

I drink iced coffee for something like half the year, because I've become one of those people who overheat easily.
We have an Areo Press, which pretty much makes a double shot of espresso. That + cream + ice = elixir of life.

Also, last weekend I tried the most ridiculously pretentious iced coffee drink ever, and it was annoyingly tasty. "Espresso, smoked grapefruit rosemary syrup, coconut water, sparkling water, lime. Cold. *alterations politely declined*"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh, did not sleep well last night. I woke up at 3:30 when Gary got up to use the bathroom, and kept waking up the rest of the night.
I wish I liked coffee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like I did a test one time that suggested I was a supertaster, but I also love bitter things. Eh.

Yikes, a co-worker just got BAD news about her mom, and is racing across state to pick up her sister and go to the hospital. If anyone has spare health~ma laying around please send it her way.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Health wishes to your co-worker's mom, Matt.
I drink regular drip coffee...made with shade-grown, fair trade, home-ground beans, either in the electric drip machine or a Melitta filter. I used to drink it sugar, no milk, but I have an unfortunate habit of taking a sip or two, setting it down, and when I pick it up again it's gone gold. So, especially in summer, I'll refrigerate it and drink it very cold--but cold sugared coffee needs milk so half-n-half it is. I've often stuck it in the freezer just until it's formed enough crystals to be slushy and drink it that way. Of course that always risks neglecting to remove it until it's a frozen block of tantalizing coffee ice. If I remember to stick a straw in it before it goes in the freezer I do get to sip it as it melts.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I keep wondering if cold brew will be easier on my stomach.
You can also try adding just a pinch of baking soda to the pot to cut the acidity.

Coffee popsicles are delicious IME, Beverly.If you have any interest in exploring that option.
Co-worker~ma, Matt.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I stand in non-coffee alliance with t and Dana. Bitter and unappealing, hot or cold.
