A good, strong, French Roast or a light cup of Blue Mountain...

A friend recently brought me back blue mountain coffee from Jamaica. I was not at all impressed. I had it in Jamaica years ago, and don't remember it being so great there either.

I find that by far the best coffee (not counting the elephant dung coffee which I haven't tried), is the Sumatra sold under the Peets or Starbucks brands that I buy in the supermarket. Made with a French press, of course.

Probably the way it is, eh?

When/if immortality is achieved, it won’t be a heart surgeon or famous novelist.

It’ll be “Democrat fund raiser”!

I add red wine consumption just to be extra sure.

I’m leaving the office to go home and brew a cup....

And I thought I was cynical. :-)

>> As soon as I finish this pot, then, I’ll be immortal.

Don’t count on it; pot is known for inducing feelings of unjustified well being. You’ll be back to feeling half-dead when you come down.

(I didn’t realize you were one-a them libertarians, Randall... I’m kinda surprises at you...)

“I add red wine consumption just to be extra sure.”

Then I wash it down with brandy...

I peg the cynic meter.

It’s the elixir of getting things done at my house.

It’s probably bad news for your adrenals long term though.

Did this study control for age?

Skydiving also greatly reduces the risk of dying due to diseases associated with old age. A study would definitely show that people who skydive at least three times a month display almost no signs of senile dementia, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, multiple organ failure, etc.

The familiar "Post hoc ergo propter ergo" fallacy.

...of COFFEE.

Walmart ‘Great Value’ brand 100% Colombian is damn good coffee. Far better than most brands.

Makes me not want to listen to anything anymore.

Just like Rush said, a trauma society. DON’T EAT EGGS!!! Oh, wait, eggs are good. DON’T DRINK COFFEE!!! Oh, wait...

Why bother listening to any of it if it’s going to change in ten years. Saves you from feeling guilt of everything you do or don’t do.

If I don’t have my cofee there is a serious risk of second hand death.

I am going to live forever!

In some cases, it guarantees an undeath...

A good, strong, French Roast or a light cup of Blue Mountain

You have expensive tastes.

For me, it depends on mood or accompanying food.

For a general go to, I like a medium roast Kenya AA. In a pinch, a high quality Colombian will be just fine. For something stronger, to go with, say a slice of pie, I wouldn't mind a good Sumatra or Papua New Guinea. I only had aging Jamaica Blue, and it was very good, but not worth the extra money. Kona is good too, but I only recommend it to those unduly concerned about getting coffee from unsanitary conditions.

Is someone ready to receive the knowledge?

[Maceman]

Feh. Once you try the Sumatra, you never go back.
