One of my favorite flavored coffees is Chocolate Hazelnut. I don’t have them as often as I used to. I am down to one every 4 or 5 years or so… 4 1 Quote

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 (edited) I ask for Farmer Brothers Medium Roast Arabica and add plain old granulated white sugar. I don't ever drink any of the artsy-fartsy yuppy stuff. I won't paybthe prices they ask for it and I don't like the atmosphere in their establishments.

Subdeacon Joe Posted February 9 Posted February 9 A real man, one comfortable and secure in his manhood, eats and drinks what he wants, when he wants, unconcerned and unphased by what others think of it. As with Mr. Miles, I'm confused by the term "on almond." Is that an almond-flavored coffee? With almond milk? With almond syrup? 3 3 2 Quote

Like ONCE yesterday!!!! 😀 Bear NEVER goes into order takeaway coffees, yesterday he had to, after asking me 20 times in the car "is this what I have to ask for - Two large flat whites on almond"??? and me replying "Yes hon".

Rye Miles #13621 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 There's a Gloria Jean's coffee shop at the mall. I meet a couple friends there a couple times a week. I always order a reg House blend black a,d they have a pitcher of cream on the side table and I add a little there. They have so many choices it's mind boggling! 1 Quote

I thought they disappeared years ago. They used to have a shop in a mall near me. They had the best chocolate hazelnut coffee. I drank it occasionally, but my wife loved it. One day all their coffees were replaced with more bitter roasts and we were told the business was going under then it disappeared. Not just from our area but the west coast. I assumed they went out of business. This was 1991 or 92. Glad to hear they are still in business. Quote

Using their store locator, it looks like ten stores along the east coast and ten around the upper Mississippi. I remember them from the highway rest areas. 1 Quote

Alpo Posted February 10 Posted February 10 I'm still waiting for Bear to translate "on almond" into American. 2 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 10 Posted February 10 14 hours ago, Jenorado said: Two large flat whites on almond"??? Please translate to Ameriglish from Australese. "Flat white?" "On almond?" To me that would be coffee with cream and an almond biscotti in it. Sort of. 1 Quote
Alpo Posted February 10 Posted February 10 That is what I understand a flat white is - coffee with cream. Or milk. Trying to figure this out myself from the all-knowing internet and I came up with coffee with some almond flavoring put in it. And they said you could use almond milk also which would give you a nice nutty taste. 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 10 Posted February 10 10 minutes ago, Alpo said: I came up with coffee with some almond flavoring put in it. Yep. But is it a flavored coffee that you brew? Brewed coffee to which you have added almond extract or almond syrup? Brewed coffee with almond creamer? Quote

Ya know, "almond milk" has been around and, allowing for changes in spelling as the English language evolved, has been called almond milk since the 1200s. 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted February 10 Posted February 10 An article about Almond Milk Even Butter Substitute from Almond Milk. 7. Botere of almand melk. Tak þikke almound melk & boyle it, & as it boyleth cast yn a litel wyn or vynegre, & þan do it on a caneuas & lat þe whey renne out. & þan gadere it vp with þyn hondes & hang it vp a myle wey, & ley it after in cold water, & serue it forth.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted February 10 Posted February 10 My wife drank almond milk when she was in her kidney cancer therapy. Apparently the lack of calcium is better for you. I still drink it occasionally. 2 2 Quote
