1. How do you brew it? 2. What brands do you like ? What is your favorite? 3. Do you grind the beans yourself? What kind of grinder? 4. Do you know how to "Taste" coffee ? 5. What is your opinion of Starbucks? 6. How do you substitute for dairy during the fasts? Non-dairy creamer, nothing?
7. If your house was on fire, would you first grab the dog or your French Press?
1. Simple coffee maker at home. 2. Folgers. But I love starbucks (which is really bad,) and I've taken a liking to the coffee sold my the monastery on Vashon Island. 3. Nope.  4. Yep. Learned in culinary class. 5. It's good when there's not something better, but I like getting my coffees from real cafes if possible. 6. I use powdered craeamer, which I occasionally enjoy more than liquid creamer. 7. Let me put it this way: My French Press doesn't crap allover my floor or chew holes into my shoes.

See what I mean?  That you can't distinguish what is sarcasm and what's not? The only thing thats high school here is your comprehension skills.Actually that's insulting to high school students. You aren't much better my friend.

Half and half just isnt as good IMHO. What do other people here use to lighten their coffee?

When our heavy cream goes low we sometimes mix half milk with it and it is *still* much better than Half and Half from the store (haven't figured that one out yet).

Maybe we are too trusting and assume half and half is is 50% Milk 50% heavy cream.. when maybe it's just 10% cream or some such.

Milk. I find that ordinary milk makes my coffee too watery. Evaporated milk is much better, but it's ridiculously hard to come by in the UK.

So, I logged onto my World Market Explorer account today to discover that I had accumulated three free-bag-of-coffee coupons over the weeks. I printed them each out and then went to World Market with my mother and came home with four bags of my favorite coffee

Milk. I used to use milk too but then I got used to just plain black coffee without any additives. It tastes better without lightener. Have you tried adding any spices like cinnamon to your coffee? Ps. Yay! My first post to OC.net with Opera Mobile!

I add milk to instant coffee because it's to sour for me to drink it black. When I' having Polish coffee or something from express / moka pot I drink it black with sugar.
I add cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla from time to time. I quite enjoy the results.

If the coffee I'm having includes a lot of frothy milk, a sprinkling of cinnamon on top is just right.
