bgavin Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 One of my husbandly duties is providing coffee service for the Morning Crippled™ who feel that mornings actually start around Noon. 1 scoop Hazelenut caffeinated 5 scoops Costco Decaf 1 cap full of real Vanilla 1 toss of Costco cinnamon 2 shots of 50-50 Moca Mix + CoffeeMate Hazelnut Diluting the CoffeeMate retains the flavor, but removes the vastly over-sweet part. This is brewed in a Melitta large size pour-over with #6 filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan Slim Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I've found that a glug of Jim Beam Vanilla perks up a morning coffee just dandy. Makes for a great mid day nap too. Fireball would make a good coffee in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I don't put cinnamon in my coffee, but some years ago I got in the habit of sprinkling it on rice. I was making chicken and rice one night, and was trying to find something to spruce it up a little. So I sprinkled some cinnamon on the rice. It did not add any flavor that I noticed, but the smell was amazing. And while we're talking about experimenting, I discovered I was out of salt one day while I was making spaghetti. Boiling spaghetti in unsalted water gives you a tasteless product. So I used garlic salt. That turned out so well that I continued to use garlic salt, until that was all gone. Instead of buying another container of garlic salt, I just use a half a teaspoon of salt with a half a teaspoon of garlic powder. Very nice flavor to the pasta. Then I thought - you know, if it helps with the spaghetti, I wonder how it would go with potatoes? I now put garlic in my pasta water and in my potato water and in my rice water. Haven't tried it in my grits water or my oatmeal water yet. Hmmm. I don't know if they would improve from a touch of garlic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I recently read that a little sprinkle of cinnamon on top of your coffee in the coffee maker will reduce the bitterness. Just enough to accomplish that but not enough to make it cinnamon flavored was the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went camping with some friends two summers ago. They both swore by the cinnamon in the coffee. She had been putting it into his coffee for quite a while and it had reduced his use of anti inflamatories by over 60%. He is a architect/remodeling person and would come home stiff and sore every night. After starting the cinnamon thing his soreness was almost gone as was the swelling in his hands. While he said he didn't notice any change in the taste, (neither did we), after we began using it, my wife says my (extra strong!) coffee is not nearly as bitter and she no longer dilutes it.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Coffee should never be bitter. Unfortunately most mass produced coffees tend to be. Also the style of brewing can increase the bitterness. French Press vs percolator vs drip maker, etc. And weak coffee can be bitter too. Fresh ground beans are best. The longer ground coffee sits, the more it oxidizes and spoils. The type of roast will also make a big difference. Some people like flavored coffee. I prefer unflavored. Yeah, even at Christmas time. I do send flavored stuff to several relatives. Like a lot of folks, I used to drink whatever was available. Then at a restaurant one day, we were served high quality coffee in a French press. Booiiingg! My eyes were opened. I bought a press, grinder and some premium coffee beans the next day. Coffee prices have risen ridiculously over the past two years. But I consider great coffee a necessity, not a luxury. Cost be damned sez I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the seed gets low the Jays whack at the plexi in a most egregious manner. When I was abed with the fluid and didn’t replenish their repast, they apparently took their ire out on the poor defenseless feeder and split one of the panels. Flying vandals.
