@Mr. Desmond can you really taste all of those things in coffee?  i can taste many of them in wine, but not in coffee.


I gave a laundry list of flavors I've seen on the various coffees I drink... these are not flavored coffees.

If we're discussing brewed coffee, yesterday, it was pecan and milk chocolate flavors.

On Sunday, blue and blackberry...

Typically, I will have two flavors that predominate ... maybe 3 if I'm paying attention.

But you've got to have good coffee beans that are roasted correctly -- typically, the lighter the roast, the more complex. Grind when you are ready to brew and brew at around 200 degrees - 1g of coffee for every 16.6g of water, give or take a few tenths.... lol

The Starbucks stuff and most coffee houses are crap brews that will do when desperate.

Since I have cut down on wine, beer, spirits, coffee is my daily "thing."

Buy my coffee at  http://www.georgehowellcoffee.com , and they ship it... if you are in Massachusetts, then you are more fortunate...

If you brew espresso, you get different flavors... depending on the country of origin and the bean... and the terroir.

Yes, I thought the same thing. But better coffee is similar to wine. Let it cool a bit and you get flavors. This is not Starbucks or franchise coffee... that does in a pinch. It's something you won't

Now, I feel so inadequate with the "Saeco" machine in our office. Well, we do have some nice lightly roasted coffee beans from around the world.

If it's espresso, typically you see a medium to dark roast bean..

It's something you won't believe until you've tasted better roasted and brewed coffee made with fresh, quality beans. It's tough to find. And the coffee is roasted the same day or the day before it is shipped. The roaster has got to know what he is doing...

I think Starbucks ruined everyone ... people think coffee must be over-roasted and strong.

I am one of those guys who drank wine since 14, worked in wine stores, did a lot of tasting, and searched for flavors ... over 40 yrs of wine tasting ... and then put on the brakes :surrender: ... and took that nuanced palate ;-) to coffee ... :-$ and making a good brew to enjoy in the morning.

I don't know.  I've had Kona coffee in Kona, and even at a coffee plantation.  It was delicious, but it tasted like, well, coffee.

Of course, I drink Dunkin' Donuts coffee that comes from a bag of grounds I buy at Ralph's so I'm not exactly what one might refer to as a coffee connese , conosewe , conisie , ugh, a guy who is particular about his coffee.

All golf clubs are not created equal; neither is coffee...

And it's all okay.... ;-)

Bailey's or Kahlua in my coffee makes for a great morning on weekends. :beer:

I'll mix a little coco on occasion during the week, but would seriously doubt ever trying butter.

Ugh. :bugout:

I drink my coffee black, but was intrigued by this thread. Thought the butter would be nasty, tried it and it wasn't bad. That being said, I'll continue drinking my coffee straight up.

You guys are making me want to try some coffee. :beer:

The last (and only) cup of coffee I had was in the mid-80s on a night when the temperature was about -20 and we were working about 300 ft. in the air. A guy had a thermos and asked me if I wanted a cup and I said hell yeah if it's hot.

About a month ago I started putting unsalted butter plus coconut oil in my coffee.  It is fantastic.  I often skip breakfast and just have the coffee.  I used to do heavy whipping cream, which I still do when short on time.

I've started drinking this on occasion. It's called a bullet proof coffee. It's actually pretty good. But, my father in law roasts his own beans and makes incredible espresso with an industrial machine.

I buy beans, grind them myself and use an Aeropress to make the coffee. I'm not a big drinker, but I do enjoy quality. The stuff you get from machines, Starbucks and other big brand places are terrible in my opinion. Smaller places and baristas can make great coffee. I don't even drink the machine coffee we got at work. It's all about the flavors and experience for me, not the caffeine. I try a lot of new types of coffee to experience different flavors and grade them myself for future reference.

Great coffee, even espresso, need not be complicated, nor difficult.  It does require a little time, effort, and the right equipment.   Like most things in life, you tend to get out of it what you put into it.

Yes, I started doing this after reading up on the bulletproof coffee concept.  It works incredibly well for focusing on work tasks, etc.  Not so much for golf, as it makes my mind run a hundred miles per hour... which leads to another thought, I am going to start a golf/caffeine thread.

Looks similar to my espresso setup -- I have a Rancilio Rocky Grinder and Rancilio Sylvia...

and the drip grind is the older model of this Technivorm...

If it's espresso, typically you see a medium to dark roast bean..


We changed to "Black Cat" beans from Brazil. They are a "sweet" blend. http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/content/black-cat-project

Just goes to show how observant I am, I thought we were still using the light roasted Italian blend (which I forgot the name).

In any case, I am enjoying the taste of a cup as I write this post. . . :-)

      So Does Anyone Know Who This Pat Simmons Is?

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      after some years experimenting around, I've settled on a mixed bag of mostly Pat Simmons vintage Tiger Sharks (the ones with the blue enamal on back of the clubheads): 3 thru 9 iron, + 3 wedges (PW, sand, chipper). Those super heavy clubheads really help me get my swing down and thru the ball. Also I carry an old Taylor 18-degree rescue club, 17-degree and 14 degree ImagineGolf metalwoods, and the famous Pat Simmons "alien" 1-iron. Finally a real brick-on-a-stick, the big-headed Bettinardi Ben Hogan model putter which is excellent for taking the break out of short putts and getting the ball hole high on long ones. Wait....is that 15 clubs? Oh well....

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By Haxo Angmark ·

      this topic brought to mind one my favorite golf-spectator memories. Back when, living in Santa Barbara CA, parked in my yellow cab just behind the 10th tee  (c. 380 yard par 4) at SB Muni golf course while eating lunch. A twosome comes by, and first up is this fat little mexican guy who takes a kinda squirelly practice swing, then addresses the ball and bashes a long, high, perfectly straight drive up to w/in about 5 yards of the green. Other guy is dressed to the 9's, pulls out what looks like a $300 driver....and hits a maybe 150-yard pop fly. Slams clubhead to the ground and yells, "it's fat! It's fat! Everything is fat today!!"  And that's how I learned what a "fat" shot is.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By billchao ·

      It may not be surprising that in the previous 7,064 posts, this particular point has been discussed. To which I will counter: If we're talking about results, why only the majors? Unless you know something that I don't, neither of us are in any position to judge whether Woods or Nicklaus lived their overall life better, not that such a thing is even objectively measurable, nor is it relevant to the discussion.
