90 miles?!?!
They really space them Stabucks kinda far out in the boondocks eh? ;)
Starbucks just invaded New Tampa. They don't have their own cut in the
median, so there will be a lot of U-turns from the next light. Things
should get interesting soon.

You think there's that many people wanting really really BAD coffee? Yeah,

That was the spookiest part about the deep south when I was there for
a track event. Every ten feet was another church. I mean there were
more churches than people, which strikes me as kinda odd.

You've started making these up yourself, haven't you? Admit it. The truth will
set you free, y'know.
The truth is that her sig is cute, but applicable only to those whose rides
are too miserable to use.
True. The last thing that would keep me off my bike would be a "watering
hole."
Unless, like you said...miserable. And I have never referred
to myself as a biker although I've been a steady motorcycle rider for over 30
years now.

I believe Starbucks is the absolute worst coffee I've EVER had!
Sorry I got's to call "BULLSHIRT" on that whilst the average "spoogebucks"
starts off with realativly good beans, They then allow some cretin who couldn't
spell "Maragogype" much less be able to make a decent pot of coffee with it!
Just a bunch of corporate flaks that couldn't make weak tea. Their coffee is so
weak I can see the bottom of the cup...my tea is stronger than starsucks
coffee. Over priced...dude crack is cheaper.

Man I shudder to think at what you conisder strong coffee.
Here in NY they actually get it pretty good. Ok so it's not a liquid
orgasm or anything but it's decent coffee for what it is. If they
brewed it any stronger I'd be typing like Adny right now.
That's why we call it Fourbucks coffee.
Worth it compared to the generic swill available.

Not me, after I learned not to eat their waffles I found the rest of their

BTW, if you're travelling, grab a waffle from them and carry it in your
saddle bag. You can use it to patch tires because it's tougher than the
stuff they make tires out of! If they ever went into the tire business
they'd have the longest mileage winner...... <G>

Regional differences. I had breakfast in a diner in Poughkeepsie, NY once,
the waitress asked how I liked my coffee and I said black. She started to
set down a coffee with cream and said, "Oh, you wanted it black" and took
it away. She came back with a cup of black coffee and told me she had to
draw three cups of coffee before she could get one black. The coffee urn
was next to the creamer and she said she filled the cup, moved it under the
creamer and hit the lever to dispense the cream all automatically! She
said in her 20+ year working at that diner she'd never served black coffee
before? I learned in Poughkeepsie coffee with cream is called "coffee
regular" and that's what most people there prefer.
That was back in 1964, I wonder if it's changed by now?
Same here in Austin. And at the airport in Phoenix. And in San
Antonio, at least the one off Broadway. It's the one place I can be
assured of half-way decent coffee.
BUT, it is absolutely not the best coffee in town, it's overpriced, and
positively devoid of character.

Maybe it's the cook. I get a big stack of them with ham and eggs.

Phoenix, AZ. We've got a bunch of Waffle Houses here and I've been to
several of them. The waffles are tough but the ham and eggs are fine, I
just get them with toast and hashbrowns.
Around here, Circle K convenience stores brew some of the best coffee in
town. Of course, most local restaurants serve swill. This ain't Seattle.

Well since you asked so nicely...I usually purchase a dark roast bean then run
it through a burr grinder set for turkish grind! 12cup pot and 7-8scoops
(freebies from gevalia) Mornings usually takes a 4shot esspresso with some
whole milk foam for giggles. just enough sugar (white death) to taste. That's
all, secret to good coffee is the same one as good beer clean equipment.
Dred they are consistent I just am underwhelmed by them. That's all, I like
mine STRONG like my wimmin!
I hope you brew that with caffeinated water!!
Used to use it to make my morning espresso...then would pour the whole
mess back through fresh grounds and brew it again...

yes it is a southern thing. It is not unsweetend iced tea, it is unsweet
tea. or sweet tea.
waffle house coffee is good. And yes i do have taste buds. I was raised on
drunkin gonuts coffee. Jamaican blue mountain is highly over rated. and
over priced. kenya AA rules, but for nice sipping I go Costa rican. I CAN
tell the difference. I don't do wine, and I don't do beer anymore. But I
will drink the hell out of a pot of coffee. (which I brew one cup at a time
so that it doesn't get burnt). Caraffes are nice, but still give the coffee
a stale flavor.

Ah man I'd kill for a burr grinder. My grinder takes two minutes to get the
coffee fine enough to pass through the filter. a little powder on the bottom
makes for a better cuppa.

Do you freeze your beans or not??
UGH, why would someone take the caffeine out of coffe? that's just wrong.
worse than NA beer, or sex with a condom. Yeah you could do it, but why?
Arabica is good as long as it is roasted well. I have a hookup at drunkin'

Life is good. I couldn't afford my habit otherwise.

If I had to pay for each individual cup I would have gone
broke years ago. My wife says I should just have it drip fed to me.
Trouble is, I don't want to mount the drip bag on a pole on the
back of my bike and that tube would get tangled. Maybe I need
a caffiene patch like those nicotine patches.
Where's the fun in that? Where's the flavor?

Ya'll boys is plumb forgot when it comes to Waffle House, the main draw is
'cheap', followed closely by GRITS!
Foreign tourists traveling on the cheap invariably go to WH but read only
the word on the menu to put themselves into gales of laughter and/or
revulsion. I suspect not one in fifty knows what grits are, or how they
taste.....
Am I wrong?

no you are not sir. The only 'merican way to eat grits is with lot's

I have at least a half pot of coffee before I go to work, another 2-3 cups
by lunch (I get to work at 10 am and go to lunch at noon). At least 2 more
cups before I head home, sometimes 4 or 5 cups. I get home, the wife fixes
a pot of coffee for me (I'm the only one who drinks it in the evening).
At work we have those flavia machines (1 cup at a time), nastiest coffee I
have ever had. At home, it's Folgers. Most resteraunts I know make their
coffee too weak. If the waitress says she's going to fix a new pot, I
usually tell them to give me the coffee out of the old pot, I don't want
fresh weak stuff.

Blue mountain over rated. Now Costa Rican beans, mmm s'good. or some real

You do know the five grades of coffee right?
in decending grade they are:
Coffee
Java
Joe
Jamoke
Carbon Remover.
I've sampled all Five grades, there are occasions when grade five is

You've no taste at all, Charles. Every one knows the best coffee in the
entire world is the wonderful stuff brewed at Camp Pendleton by the gormet
USMC chefs! It tastes GREAT and it's good for cleaning rifles and
stripping paint as well, now try that with your Costa Rican sewer sludge!
Yeah, but do you prefer your grits plain, with a little butter, with
butter and grape jelly, or with white gravy. I even eaten them with the
cheese sauce. I love them EVERY way! I guess I'm just a redneck gal.

I've been in a Starbucks but never had their coffee. Probably the fact that

I've been tempted but haven't fallen yet. Denny's is the worst IMO. I've
had to send food back more times than I care to count because one item was
hot but the rest was cold. I'd rather find a good greasy spoon and fall
back to IHOP.

That one court case where Denny's was sued for discrimination always amused me.
Those people weren't being given poor service because of their race. They were
given poor service because they went to Denny's. If you want Denny's type food
and good service, then you go to Shoney's, its pretty simple really ;)
spam...@telocity.com is a real email address
but it won't be read
replace spamtrap with conswirloo and you might get somewhere
And in the recent The Wind? Windy? the chopper rag, there's a page on the same
thing happening to a group of bikers. They went to a different Denny's and got
better service.

My experiences at Denny's (as always, YMMV):
1. Service, good to excellent with one exception.
2. Coffee, always good. Not great but good.
3. Food, so-so to ok with two exceptions
Exceptions,
1. They opened a place very near me. Service absoutely SUCKED, Food was
inedible and it folded up quickly. Wonder why? It quickly got a
reputation all over Phoenix.
2. Food, the grand slam breakfast is better than ok, I'd rate it as good
and give it an extra point for price.
Other than that one place I've always had good service at Denny's, anywhere
I've eaten at one. That's not many outside of the Phoenix area, when
travelling we alway try to find non-chain places unless we just need a rest
stop, then the senior coffee and clean restrooms at McDonald's are
irresistable.
Me and you both. I get "gritted" one morning per week as my reward for
having a poptart and diet coke the other six work days. Nothing like it.
Egg on the plate first, covered in grits, slab 'O' butter on top and a
couple slices of pig flesh. Mmm, mmm, good!

Nope, that's a New York thing.
Although sometimes you get someone just off the boat,
and you ask for a regular coffee, or coffee regular,
and they'll ask "milk?", and then "sugar?".
It's expedience, and you'll be surprised how annoying it is to an
impatient New Yorker to be hassled with those questions,
in the morning before coffee, myself included. ;)
WTF are "creamers"? You mean those little cups of "half & half". WTF is
that? Half milk, half cream? Milk has cream IN it. Are they half
skimmed-milk, half pure cream? Highly doubtful. Pound the table/counter
and demand CREAM for your coffee! Fuck, Coffee Mate is better than that
"creamer" gorm. I get sick and goddamed tired of cheap substitutes.
Tomorrow we'll discuss bad coffee....
Sex, drugs and R&R ??
Just keep the rubber down and paint up, is what I aim for. HAGO!!
Hoyt your never really addicted until your will to drink Maxwell's (blech) or
instant...the later being the mark of a true addict. I would never stoop that
low(now where is that grounding rod?)

I heard a very interesting comment from my doctor the other day, I was
complaining about being overweight and having trouble loosing pounds, he
said I wasn't overweight. He told me, "We go on a height and weight chart
and you're not overweight at all, you're just WAY too short!"
Half-and-half is half whole milk, half heavy cream. At least the stuff
I make...
I never realized I was a drunk until I went from Bass ale to Miller high
life.

Just a good strong cuppa for me.

Coffee is meant to be drunk without pussy juice in it... You wanna mocha
milkshake go to McDonalds...

But I'm not overweight, just too short! Major problem with the Adkins Diet
( voice of experience speaking!) is that you lose weight very nicely but
gain it back plus a few more pounds incredibly fast after ending the diet.

Why end the diet?
That's the problem, people like to *go* on a diet, rather than *have* a
healthy diet.
The Adkins diet is not a diet you can stay on for long, the McDonalds
police will come to your house and demand you start eating there again,
also the Krispy Kreme folks will be after you.....
You seem to be fixated on weight. Why not give it a rest and pick on some
other kind of bigotry. I suppose you are perfect in every way?
Hal
Figgered. Thanks.
heck when I lived in Texas I was waiting to wake up one morning and finding
that they (Starsucks, I mean Starbucks) had set up in my living room. Hell
there everywhere else...I have $5 whole dollars that says when we get to Mars.
Starbucks will already have a store there WITH a drive through window.
Lol--reminds me of when they discovered signs of life in that Martian
rock. One of the late-night talk show hosts made a joke that if they
do discover life on Mars, it will mean one more place for AOL to send
disks to.

I think he eats only at home. His wife is a saint....
Sweet Wife got me a Cuisinart coffee pot that grinds beans, then brews them
in a supposedly scientific way. Coffeeologists found that nearly all good
flavor is extracted well before all water is processed. Worse, it's the
last water that extracts bitterness, so my pot siphons off a percentage
straight *around* the brewing, then halts the process before bitterness
begins. My skepticism almost had me returning the gift, but experience has
made me a believer. It works.
Fuckin A, but don't grits just 'fit' with fried eggs?
This is absolutely true. Other than the fact that I'm stingy and want
the whole damn pot, you're better off removing the pot before all the
water is through it. Some coffeemakers are designed to let you do this.
that's why I just put a lot of coffee in the filter. Cuisuinart you say?
hmmm.

Well, I don't have a wife and ain't gettin' one soon, so I have to buy
my own toys. What's the model # of your coffee maker? I may take a
look-see.

Because it kicks ass! :-)
One triple espresso from Starbucks and it's ALL GOOD...for days.

Gee, that wont do at all! I refuse to be shorted a shot of espresso! I have a
4shot dry latte' with my breakfast of oatmeal and grapefruit. A two shot
straight with lunch and another one before dinnnnnneeeerrrrrrrr.... never gives
me trouble atall!
Until they check your blood cholesterol, that is. Gave up the triple shot
mochas in the morning, and I could eat red meat again.
Mike that's not a worry for me. In my family it's either colon cancer or
alzheimers both of which wait until the early to mid 70's heart problems are
the exception. so when I am 75 my ass will fall out but I will forget it
happened! sure will make riding the bike hard. ;^) come to think about it I
haven't given up any of the socalled "BAD" eating habits and my cholesteral is
middle of the road and my HDL LDL ratio still favors HDL...I smoke to! works
for me. YMMV
I paid it heed for all of three weeks; I'm really guessing at the effect of
coffee. Things were normal at the next checkup despite my addiction to
heavily marbled ribeyes.
My father wore a cholostomy bag for the last twenty years of his life. I
didn't think I could find humor in it, but thanks for the smile. :)
Seems to me yiu shuld MAXIMISE your cholesterol.
NOBODY gets to avoid dying. And their are statistically 4 main ways to
do it. Stroke, Heart attack, Cancer, or Alzheimers.
Now which is the best way to go? Seems to me its wise to load teh dice
beforehand.
