From local coffee shop. Got to get back up in the mountains. It's in the 70's along the Pacific coast but in the east valleys it's been over 100 for last 3 days, today should be a bit cooler. By the way much friendlier forum today, thanks Matrix.

I have two cups of coffee per week:

Saturday after breakfast.

Sunday after breakfast.

I said AFTER breakfast, because I never drink it while eating...that causes it to cool off too quickly.

My wife makes my coffee...it's Folgers plain coffee.

I have never been inside a Starbucks and have no reason to.

I agree 'Starbucks' coffee is an acquired taste but you only go there to rub elbows with the in crowd & in my case to use the free wifi. I personally don't like it, too bitter. I prefer either French Press or what we used to call sheepherders coffee, on this forum it's been called camp or cowboy coffee. Easy to make around a fire pit or elsewhere that doesn't have a plug available. Never could get the timing down on a percolator.

Sheepherder Coffee by Sam Hamill

Sheepherder Coffee
I used to like sheepherder coffee,
a cup of grounds in my old enameled pot,
then three cups of water and a fire,


and when it's hot, boiling into froth,
a half cup of cold water
to bring the grounds to the bottom.


It was strong and bitter and good
as I squatted on the riverbank,
under the great redwoods, all those years ago.


Some days, it was nearly all I got.
I was happy with my dog,
and cases of books in my funky truck.


But when I think of that posture now,
I can't help but think
of Palestinians huddled in their ruins,


the Afghan shepherd with his bleating goats,
the widow weeping, sending off her sons,
the Tibetan monk who can't go home.


There are fewer names for coffee
than for love. Squatting, they drink,
thinking, waiting for whatever comes.

I may have become accustomed to the taste, or could be I do use a little cream, but I don't find it bitter at all. Strong yes but coffee's got to be strong for flavor.

One of my favorite & awe inspiring drives is through the 'Avenue of the Giants' in N Calif. Nothing matches the reverence I feel when looking at those magnificent trees. If there is a heaven let it be like that.

I think the poet was using the word "bitter", in a good way.:)
