I'm drinking coffee right now and I bet quite a few of you reading this are also sipping the beloved brew.

PING!

There will be another interesting 10 Things edition next week so let me know if you want on the PING List.

I LOVE it but stopping it 20 yrs ago cured my persistent heartburn. If I take omeprazole I can drink it, but likely not good long term for the bones.

Enjoy, coffee fans!

This is the best gift my wife ever gave me - a German-made stainless steel coffee press:

The Turks used Coffee as a drug to hype up the troops before a battle like the Viet Cong used marijuana before battle.

I love coffee. I probably drink too much though.

Nancy Astor: “Winston, if I were your wife I would put poison in your coffee.”

Winston Churchill: “Nancy, if I were your husband I would drink it.”

Yup!

French Roast.

I had seen something many years back about coffee, the fact that it originated in the Ethiopian area. They said that at that time (and maybe still) it was a crime punishable by death to try to or actually smuggle out any live, unroasted coffee beans.

They have most of the only wild varieties of coffee on the planet and don’t want to let them out.

I’ve always loved the smell of coffee, but as for drinking it... I cannot get past the bitterness, no matter how much cream or sugar I add. Even in coffee ice cream, I react poorly to it.

Oddly enough, however, I like Kahlua. I’m thinking the alcohol neutralizes or offsets whatever’s causing the bitterness I hate so much,

The first national meeting of the KKK was held at the Maxwell House Hotel. No word how much coffee was had.

8. Percolation of coffee is probably the worst way to brew it.

I like my French Press. Or is that "Freedom Press?"

I just finished mine and won’t have another cup until after work. The stuff here stinks. If there’s a coffee ping list, I want on it! Please!

I, too, was sneaking my mom’s coffee when I was little. Once, I tried sneaking some of my grandpap’s coffee, only to find he dropped a whiskey-glass - the entire glass plus whiskey! - into his coffee cup! It was awful but didn’t put me off the coffee! Mr sneakers and I have no less than five coffee makers in our house - including a Coleman camp coffee maker to assure access to good brew should the power go out and our latest addition to our collection - a French Press.

If I no get coffee in the morning, you no wanna be around me...........lol!

It's lunchtime. The home roasted Tres Rios Costa Rican Magnolia coffee is long gone.

But I am drinking a beloved brew with my pinto beans for lunch. It just ain't coffee. ;)

Actually, the coffee in Cuba - for the Cubans - is not coffee at all but chickory mixed with other ingredients, the noxious flavor disguised by large amounts of sugar.

Beethoven adored coffee. He insisted on always making it himself. Each cup had to have 60 beans. He liked it strong.
