Too funny.
It is sunny and 70 in Dallas today, and I'm looking at a red Starbucks cup on my desk as I type.
Probably one of the underlying reasons of the American Civil War-Southerners bragging about the weather.

Sunny and 58 today, so time for a cigar. Later in the week, mid-60's and sunny.
I love winter and wearing sweaters.

Had a depth charge at a coffee shop. It almost stopped my heart.
Please expand...?
I've usually seen a cup of drip coffee with an espresso shot added referred to as a depth charge.
I think it's called a "red eye" up here.
Nescafe instant.
I don't really call it coffee, but sometimes I do love that malty hot drink.

Caribou's eponymous house blend, ground and brewed at home.
Starbucks french roast ground and brewed at home.
Wife was in SanFran and brought back a bag of Blue Bottle beans. I think the magic of that coffee is the preparation they do there, as it was only so-so ground and brewed at home.

You must drink one heck of a lot of coffee.

no, 1 travel mug a day .. but it's gotta be good coffee. and none of that flavored stuff.
i get misty-eyed when i see a jar of maxwell house.
I'm a caffeine addict so I'll bite. I drink Cafe Britt Dark Roast. The beans are freshly ground in a Nespresso Conical burr grinder each morning. MMM good!
I've drank a lot of coffee over the years and this is my favorite. My wife and I get it sent directly from the company in Costa Rica. The coffee is so good I can continue enjoying it even when the cup is cold. I pick up some killer flavors including a cinnamon component that I love.

I had this as well today here at my hotel, but not as good as normal.
Kona, Blue Horse. Easily my favorite coffee, can't get enough.
Time to re-load so just picked up Kenya AA
After wasting some time trying to find them in Starbucks outlets, I finally ordered some of the Starbucks reserve coffees online. These are small-production and sometimes rare beans. They arrived Friday. I bought
- Nicaragua Maracaturra
- Ethiopia Sidamo Sun-dried
- Sumatra Rasuna Sun-dried
I ground some of the Nicaraguan this morning, and it is aromatic-- almost floral-- and delicious. Friends, if the other coffees are as good or better than this one, then I would highly recommend you giving some of them a try. I will report on the others as I open them over the next few weeks.

Enjoining coffee ( #3) recently from one of my very favorite coffee barista in the world, Caffe Terzi, Bologna.
A co-worker of my wife just came back from Vietnam and gave her a bag of "weasel coffee" which is produced by the palm civet eating and excreting the beans. She gave it to me (non coffee drinker) and I have not yet tried. Has anyone else tasted this?

I've had the Indonesian version, Kopi Luwak. Interesting as an oddity, but not really great coffee.

Ground some Ethiopian Sidamo this morning for the first time. Very aromatic with almost a dried tobacco note on the nose, and in the mouth a lot of dark chocolate and slightly peppery on the finish. Fabulous coffee, even better than the Nicaraguan. I think these first two are definitely worth the price.
Currently working on a bag of Columbian blend. Half is a full city roasted Huila and half is a dark roasted Popayan. Simply delicious.

Maui Red Catuai.
Starbucks Italian roast, ground fresh at home. It's pushing the limits of how dark/full I like my coffee. I'm wishing I had a few Italian bakery cookies to go along with it!
Starbucks Venti Italian roast and a cigar this beautiful morning in the courtyard before the landscape crew gets here and makes all that noise.
