@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.

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 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.

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.

And some is GREAT! :beer:

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...

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. . . :-)

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
