So there you are. You are up earlier than you wanted to be and it is time to drop the wife off at the airport, yet there you are wrapped in both down comforters with a dachshund in your arms.
She knows there must be some new tact. "I made coffee," she coos. You lift your head and swivel your hips to move from parallel to perpendicular.
As she hands the cup to you in the kitchen your olfactory glands are not fully fired up, but something is amiss. You take the first pull and instead of letting out an "ahhh" you frown and look in the cup and up at her.
Hazelnut.
Is this product coffee? Should there have been a heads up? Was this simply the kind of Faustian bargain inevitable to the kind of person that negotiates the timeliness of their consciousness with their spouse in the morning?

In order to make flavored coffee, the roaster has to burn the crap out of the beans in order to get the coffee flavor out. Think of it as a very well done burger. Then they add chemicals to it (some of which are found in anti-freeze) in order to sweeten it and give it flavor.
No. I don't touch the stuff.

My dog would drink the crap out of antifreeze if I would let him. Maybe Tortuga should just give the hazelnut coffee to his dachsund.
-
There was a Hazelnut Coup d'etat at the MeatSauce home recently. Horrifying morning.
-
Yeah, not a fan of the flavored coffee. It tastes like watered down coffee but smells pretty good.
-
The only flavored coffee I drink is the Hazelnut at Panera Bread. It's pretty delish.
-
Mrs. SF adds fat free vanilla creamer to her coffee. I hate even the smell of it. Hazelnut is worse. You should have smelled it way before it hit your mouth. Mrs. Tortuga should pay dearly for this act of bait and switch though.
-
She's gone for work for a week and a half. Parting shot.

She has obviously been planning this attack for a while. I would prepare for divorce papers to be delivered any day now. You should jump in front of this and divorce her first.

I like those Starbuck's Frappuccino's.

God, Tortuga is like copious amounts of a fine wine. Gets better with age, gets me wasted, makes me live in the past and think wistfully of old times, etc.

I know, but IDGAF. I have other redeeming qualities that more than cancel out my shitty taste in coffee/frappu/latte/caffiene fix.

Can someone investigate Emo EMAW? Pretty sure he's a squawk.
Sorry EE, but liking Starbuck's is unforgivable.

I'm not a coffee drinker. I don't like Starbucks, if I go there I usually get a hot chocolate. I much prefer Panera where I also get a hot chocolate. But like if we're road tripping or something and we're up early I'll do the frappucino thing. It makes a nice dueuce too, so that's a plus.

Agreed on the smells great/tastes bad comment.

what about smokes?

I will never understand how you people can sip piping hot coffee. Its like your tongue and upper lip have been burnt so many times that they have perma-blisters on them. You people make me sick to my stomach.

I let it cool off a tad.

Hazelnut and French Vanilla are always the last two varieties to go out of stock in the office. Was embarrassed when I had a guy in for an interview, offered him coffee, then was like "Welp, you're getting vanilla. Sorry about that, dude."
But at least I gave him a heads up.

Don't worry about it. Frappuccino's are fantastic. I like the strawberry one myself.

This could be turned into an excellent weed out technique for future employee considerations. Dude takes the vanilla coffee without objection you have yourself an easy way to take him out of the running.

I always go for mocha. I wrote a letter to them in protest when they got rid of the mint chocolate one. Now they have that around Christmas and I always get a few packs.
-
eff that, if that dude drinks the vanillas without hesitation, you hire the crap out of him. Jut think about all the crap you'll be able to make him do in the future.

Can't, I let mine site forever before drinking it. Mrs. SF is usually almost done with hers before I start. She calls me a pussy, but I don't care, it is hot. :dunno:
-
Coffee is great, drink it all day. If I had a wife that brought me hazelnut bullshit, she would not be my wife much longer.
Starbucks frappachinos are fantastic, but are more like milkshakes than any coffee product. The vanilla and strawberry cremes are delish.
-
excuse me sir, may i please have a vanilla and strawberry creme frappachinos? :lol:

I had one of those McDonald's mocha frappe's this weekend. Was amazing.

Update: now that she's gone I just go to Starbucks/The Chef everyday.

Have tried Panera? I think they are #winning as far as breakfast goes.

Really? Going to need some menu items. Also, it is asking a lot for me to drive over there when I am in walking distance of Chef and Hyvee (mitigation of at least 80% of the baguette/cheese/cold cuts argument)
-
Don't know about their breakfast, but the Bacon Turkey Bravo is the best "fast food" sandwich available.

I've never gotten pasted a bagel with egg and bacon. But, ya I see your point if it isn't as convenient. Where I am they are equally convenient and the wait isn't as long at Panera (but I do have to get out of my vehicle).
-
my mother in law had three coffee choices when we visited last christmas:
hazlenut, vanilla, and some sort of vomit-inducing peppermint. terrible.
-
I like iced coffee. Too many places are using water-ice instead of coffee-ice as ice though. :frown:

Can confirm. I always get the baguette with my sando. Sometimes I mix it up and get the "You pick two"

thx tortuga. i ordered this once last winter at a panera in indianapolis. the manager's eye's popped out of his head and he exclaimed "why haven't i thought of doing that!?!" needless to say the people in line behind me knew what they were dealing with after that one!!

I was at the Royals game the other night and was getting a bad headache because I hadn't had my coffee all day. I don't know if Kauffman has coffee anywhere, but if they do it's probably horrible. We decided to leave and search out a good coffee joint using the "Places" app on my phone. Came across this place in Raytown,
http://www.benettiscoffee.com/
Was really good so i decided to buy a few bags of their roasted beans and they were solid too. Would definitely recommend to anybody in KC.
btw, if your at home and drink anything but freshly ground coffee that's been roasted within the last week or two, you're drinking shitty coffee whether it's flavored or not.

does anyone know where to buy (cheap) carbon gas? i'd like to add some to my beverages, but i don't know if i need pressure.

two ways to increase solubility of gas in fluids
1)lower the temperature
2)increase the atmospheric pressure.

thanks for the tip, but why do you have one?

Love panera breakfast. I split a Mediterranean panini and spinach and artichoke souffle with my wife. Like the chipotle chicken or tomato and mozzarella for lunch.

the gf wanted one and i like bar gadgets. it's good for making soda water for drinks, etc and it's fun.

I did have some Benetti's Moka Java beans today, but other than that I only say Java when referring to the programming language. Leaving the game wasn't one of my finer moments since I felt like a drug addict, but as a K-Stater leaving behind the expensive seats wasn't a big deal. :kstategrad:

you make your own tonic? where do you get your quinine from? i'm assuming you either have a cinchona tree in your back yard or perhaps you've undertaken synthetic production?
-
I get it from a little bottle of tonic concentrate. Add some water and and CO2 and boom! Tonic. Did you really think I don't know what tonic water is?
-
no, i wondered where you got quinine from.
