I don't drink coffee, so all my life I've missed out on the coffee boom. Back in the sixties they had a coffeehouse here and there in my hometown, but they all went under.

Then it seems about thirty years ago various types of coffee besides regular coffee became super-popular with the masses (lattes, cappucino, espresso, etc). Coffee houses and drive-in coffee businesses eventually opened up.

I want to know...what is it with all the interest in drinking special sorts of coffee?

They got some double crunchy carmel thing that jacks Me up Big Time!

I could not order it to save my life so the grandson orders and I buy.

I might just call that kid tomorrow and show him how to have some fun with libtards.

Seems like it tracks right along with the same time frame wherein all the myriad kinds of beers and exotic microbrews and so forth all exploded into fashion....maybe all just part of the fracturing of society with the endless choices and lack of unifying cohesiveness; no longer do we have just a handful of TV channels and programs, we have literally far too many programming choices to even know where to begin to select....sheesh

Good morning sir! I never drank coffee until I got out of college and moved to South Florida. Could not stand the stuff. Then I met a load of South Americans, Brasilians and Colombians and over the years I got hooked. It seemed that visiting some of our new friends they always wanted to share a cup of their favorite coffee they brought with them or found locally in a foreign goods store. That got me started...

This was not cover the stuff with syrup and goo to hide the flavor of the beans Starbucks crap. It was this grew on a mountain near my house, this is from my grandmothers plantation, this is from a region that specializes in this type of bean coffee. The varieties were endless and the flavors were nothing short of amazing.

Later, I started to roast for a hobby. To this day it’s like making homemade candy that’s far more flavorful and rewarding than any generic chain could hope to approach.

I could go on about the fun times with the people, my wife and friends “down South” but suffice to say the pleasure that the coffee on its own has provided has contributed greatly to the overall quality of my life. Small things, I suppose but tremendous pleasure.

Cheers...
