Are you spending your waking hours writing a program which will write all other programs that you will ever need to write? If so, you would not only be extremely lazy, but extremely smart too! :-D

They are number 2 on my list. I don't, however, like or appreciate their flimsy attempt to be 'hip' like Starbucks by having cappucinos, mochas, etc. D&D sucks in that department, but they rock in the Plain Coffee dept. :D josh

Cool! I'm always impressed by people who create and support freeware. Kudos :rose:

If you're a coffee drinker, where do you get the best cup of coffee? Do you make it? A particular cafe, diner, coffeehouse?
I drink Folger's Premium Roast at home. On the road, Starbuck's (with a Strawberries and Creme Frappucino if the weather is hot).

I don't like brewed coffee, but I love iced coffee. Yum. I once was in line at a shop behind a girl that ordered something like a "short decaf non-fat no-foam latte". I was tempted to ask her "what's the point? why not just drink a cup of milk?" ;)

Because they don't serve milk at coffeehouses! :laugh:

I used to go to a local drive-thru beverage hut called the Liquid Highway in Greenville, SC. They have some of the best coffee I've ever had, but I'm not sure what kind it is. I usually just buy Eight o'Clock coffee at home these days; cheap and tastes decent. There's a local roaster, Little River Roasters, in town whose coffee I drink at the cafe sometimes. Not too shabby, but I don't go out of my way for it, not like Liquid Highway's mojo. BW

And they kick Krispy Kreme's ass in the douhgnut making dept. as well. BW

1. The Brown Cow, Hampton St, Hampton in Melbourne, Australia. 2. A little cafe (forget it's name) just near the intersection of St Kilda road and Punt Rd. Again, Melbourne Australia. All others are mere shadows, mere imitations. Mere reminders that what you are drinking is not coffee but a pale insipid pretence. cheers, Chris Maunder

Unfortunately I'm going to have to defend her on this one, point by point. 1. Short. I remember having a conversation with the server at Starbucks regarding how their "small" coffees are actually their "tall" coffees. I just want a quick cuppa, so it seems a normal (to me) sized coffee is actually a short. Why not just use the old fashioned small, medium and large? 2. Decaf. Acceptable after your 3rd cup of the day or after 6pm. Before that, as you say, hy bother. 3. Non fat. When the choice is that 15% fat cream or non fat I know which one my arteries are asking me for. Maybe she's lactose intolerant. OK, a weak defense... 4. No foam latte. In Australia these are called "flat whites" and are what a Real Coffee should be. cheers, Chris Maunder

Wow. You must have had a religious experience at The Brown Cow! Are you sure they don't add any "extra special" ingredients? :suss: :josh: My WPF Blog[^]

I know I'm going to be abused for this, but my favorite cup of coffee is Maxwell House instant coffee. It's not that I don't appreciate freshly ground and brewed coffee, it's just that I'm too darn lazy to make it. OK, bring it on. :) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com
LOL it's not just me then! (except in my case it's Kenco Really Smooth. I find most ground coffees too harsh). :rolleyes: Anna :rose: Currently working mostly on: Visual Lint :cool: Anna's Place | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Glad you asked :) At Home: Senseo + Douwe Egberts In Austin, TX: Mozart's Elsewhere: Starbucks (Cafe Mocha) The next time you get bogged down by details, don't scramble for a way to figure out how to get every single one of them down pat. For a good example of this warning, look at a particularly tightly wound coworker or friend: The stress in their life is mostly self-inflicted, and the extra efforts they put out are rarely rewarded. Skip the martyr act and keep things simple. If small problems pop up, they pop up -- and they make life a lot more interesting.

You should give Flightpath or Halcyon a try. Not quite the same ambiance, but great coffee.

Without a doubt good light roast Sumatra coffee in a french press.
