The Coffee Nazi's are coming! The Coffee nazi's are coming!

LOL- Daskinor!

I got a new coffee cup recently- my hubby picked it up and said, "Honey... this is a soup bowl with a handle..."

I would have to agree, Pop or even hot chocolate are the only things keeping me going at school. I can't stand coffee unless it has the coffeemate in it.

I've got a couple of those w/the Campbell soup kids on them. And they are well loved, too.

Prefer it hot, and strong, just like your women?
Or, just like Ada Wong likes her coffee? *checks your kitchen to see if you have any melted coffee pots*

Lets just say that people learn not to touch my coffee. Its not that <i>I</i> do anything if they do, but most people tend to jet around like a feekin humming bird after a cup of the stuff.

For a non coffee drinker, I can relate.

I used to work in a brewpub where much of the staff, when opening, would make triple brewed coffee.

For those not in the know, this is what triple brewed coffee is:

You brew a pot of coffee. You brew a second pot of coffee using the first pot of coffee as the water for the second pot of coffee. This makes some seriously strong coffee. This is double brewed coffee. My crazy coworkers did not stop there. They then used the double brewed coffee as the water for a third pot, which was triple brewed coffee.

Basically they were mainlining caffeine. But when you work in a brewpub, you tend to be drinkers. And they were. So they needed that severe shock to the system to get going in the morning. Being both a professional drunk AND a decaffeinated guy, I always found their exploits amusing. Once I woke up myself, of course. (Not much of a morning guy.)

Morning? What's that? (It is 9:14 am)

I used to work with a guy at BN who would get a venti coffee (that's 20 ounces, and Starbucks coffee is pretty strong--I hate coffee, and especially Sbucks) and add 18 packs of sugar. I measured it out once--that's a quarter cup of sugar. That's on top of the liter of Mountain Dew he usually drank every morning. And sometimes more Dew later cuz we sold that in the cafe too. (Oddly enough, he was one of those...wutsitcalled?..."morning people"? Foreign concept to me...)

Oh, yeah, that guy is the cafe manager now

I usually have a cup o' joe to get me going in the morning. I have an extra big mug for those tough mornings.

As for that triple-brew coffee, that would seriously give me chest pains

If my mommy doesn't have a coffee cup like that yet, she soon will!!!!!

A theater tech professor in college once said that my graduation present from the crew would be a 5-gallon shop bucket with a handle glued to it

Much as I would have loved to, I never got the chance to show up with one of those Camelbak things filled with iced coffee.

I get heart palpitations from a REGULAR cup of coffee, no joke. That's why I don't drink it.

I bought my ex-husband some of those oversized Pier One bowl mugs for his coffee. He still uses them LOL

I like coffee, but I don't drink it everyday. I am trying to start drinking about 1 cup a day, until my shop opens a coffee shop in it. I will ofcourse be manager of it. I know that I will be drinking 2-3 cups of Joe. I like my coffee Black, BTW.

Coffee Nazis are why I feel sympathy for people who work as baristas. It's like they (Coffee Nazis) need it so much but just THEIR way-just to keep going and they're totally bitter that they cant administer their fix for themselves at home .

I get palpitations from Coke, some days. A few weeks ago I woke up with a migraine, so I stopped in the cafeteria at work and got a soda, to take with my tylenol. Aside from that I really didn't feel like eating, so that was pretty much all I had until mid morning, when all of a sudden I just started shaking. That's when I realized I really needed some actual food in my blood
