I got some cuban crack for you here, it is 90% sugar in liquid form, 9% coffee, 1% water, want some?

Rey's Pizza down the road sells it 24/7 I just learned about this place.

No speaky enlinsh dis stor!

but hey, it is a nice strong coffee, but a bit to sweet for me. Cafe Con leche is made too, it is almost the same proportion but maybe 85% sugar and the remaining being milk.

I brought back several kilos of North Sumatran coffe from North Sumatra and have been brewing it in the office. It is a big hit.

I've seen the Cuban ground coffee that is more green than brown in the package...had it once, got so wired that my face looked like I'd had work done.

I've heard Sumatra makes good stuff. I'm an estate Hawaiian or a Jamaican Blue Mountain guy for the most part when I'm not sucking down large quantities of Wawa or Dunkin.

I like the scat coffee ( actually just kidding, it has a weird wang to it when I smelled it I was scared!)

Alex isn't gonna get old for the forum at large anytime soon...and then CO will blame us when there's next to no real info in her database.

I can see Smisek now: "Would someone tell the FlyerTalk nutcases to stop asking Alex if it's single? She finally learned what that is and now her and the EUA system have a date Friday night."

I would find it funny if Alex responded with "Is not possible."

Noth Sumatran coffee is some of the best coffee I have ever had. It blows away all the Hawaiian coffee I have tried. I wish I could duplicate the method they use in Indonesian coffee shops at my home or in my office - they grind the beans, then take ladels of near-boiling water and strain the water through the grounds, a very small amount at a time. The end result is coffee with a light body, similar in texture to black tea, but with all the bold and complex flavor of a dark roast brewed in a french press, or even using an espresso brewing method. One could drink 10 cups of it because of the light body, but the caffeine and general boldness would be overwhelming. I suppose I should try this brewing method at home; the hardware would not be difficult to purchase or make.

A date would be good for Mr. EUA, he seems a little tense.

Alex: That is a ridiculous question
Jenn: False, Black Bear
Alex: That's debatable

I tried to teach her...

You Asked: Did you know that a black bear is the best kind of bear?
Alex: I'm not sure how to answer that. I understand simple questions best, can you try asking that in a different way?

I think we got something like that from Fairway the other day. They roast the coffee in the store. We were getting some other coffee and then I saw a barrell of the most amazingly oily beans I've ever seen and I knew the resultant coffee would be great ... it is ... and I am not a c:eek:ffee person!

I made the mistake of wandering out of the box.
