OK, for you folks that don't know, it's National Coffee Day.
Which means FREE coffee and FREE donut at Krispy Kreme.
FREE coffee and FREE donut at Dunkin Donuts.
Of course, one per person, but hey, perhaps it will get your day going. Or ending.
Donuts are good 24/7.
I think for $1 more at Krispy Kreme you can get a latte or other coffee-type drink. Gotta admit I like what Dunkin Donuts has but haven't tried Krispy Kreme's yet (but I HAVE had a lot of their donuts - especially glazed).
So get out there and enjoy!
Just took a sip of my free any size coffee from WAWA.
Ok.... What is in the backround there.
“WARNING - Not to be taken internally!” - Slings and Arrows
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
I just hook up the IV so I get direct infusion of my daily coffee intake. Sometimes the blood level in my caffeine stream gets to high and I have to up the dosage.
I need to find a favorite coffee shop.
ELAINE: You know, funerals always make me think about my own mortality and how I’m actually going to die someday. Me, dead. Imagine that.
GEORGE: They always make me take stock of my life and how I’ve pretty much wasted all of it, and how I plan to continue wasting it.
JERRY: I know, and then you say to yourself, “From this moment on, I’m not going to waste any more of it.” But then you go, “How? What can I do that’s not wasting it?”
ELAINE: Is this a waste of time? What should we be doing? Can’t you have coffee with people?

Coffee with people is NOT wasting time!

Unless you want to be served burned swill by THIS creature:
Ah the resurrection of an old thread. I love to do that.
I’m going to ping the prophecy list because, hey, everybody could use a free doughnut. At least, I think so!
Some of them are NOT doing the free doughnut, just the free coffee. So best of luck out there!
