    Ah, sorry my fellow coffee nuts. @ work all day... running an assay. Off for lunch now... then back again. It's been a grueling week (8am - 9pm days at the lab).

    Where would I be without my barista waiting for me every morning and night?

    Hi I'm back. Day from hell. No amount of coffee was going to stop the myoclonic head jerks in those lectures. Urgh I'm shattered. Penultimate week though - scary... soon I'll have to be a 'real' person again.

    I recommend the Highlander Grogg, the Cranberry Cream, and the Strawberry Cream.

    The peach---not so good.

    Wow... yes, dear Tempy, you deserve a large coffee with a few extra shots!

    Come on into the coffee shop and put your feet up. :)

    :) not from WI, but I spent three summers up there as a camp counselor during college. Whitewater Lake became my summer home... I still love WI because of it.

    The coffee caught my eye by the description... "A winning combination of buttery hazelnut with a kick of Irish cream." Mmmm...

    LOL! How much coffee have you had today, Sneezy? I think it makes sense...

    Mmm... Irish coffee... mmmm... I had this amazing Irish coffee in Beijing. They actually served the coffee in this beautiful glass suspended over a Bunsen burner type dealy-do. It was rather hard to drink, but it looked awesome. Reminded me of those German beer stein things - the wooden holder and the glass at an angle, over a tiny flame... it was weird, but goooooood! :D

    So just curious, have any of you ever tried Kopi Luwak? It sells between $120 and $600 a pound. I have never had it. I bet it tastes pretty crappy, lol.

    I was in cali one weekend and my friend, knowing how big of a coffee fanatic I was... decided to take me to a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop that served kopi luwak... at $32 a cup. And by cup, I mean one of those espresso cups.

    I knew it came out of a civet's before I tried it... but hey, why not?

    To be honest, it's a bit bold and rich, while there's no bitterness... I know, it seems weird. Def an experience... definitely different tasting than all other coffees I've ever tried.

    ... anyways, anyone try kona? I've never tried it and have always wanted to...

    Wow... Sneezy - you're my hero... wow...

    Kona... mmmmmm... Awesome coffee.

    My Dad used to travel to South America quite a bit and would bring back pounds of the strongest, most divine coffee you'd ever taste. At the time, I didn't know what kind it was (and still don't) but all I know is that my Mom would restrict my consumption to before noon and only on Saturdays...

    Herein lies the key to my addiction...

    Oh man, you know... maybe we could start a ferret farm and make our own. I figure ferrets are easier to come by than a civet. Ok... MA's seeing dollar signs. But seriously... who do we nominate to collect the beans? Not it!!

    The Packer Perc is good, but I'm telling you the Highlander Grogg is better.

    I keep telling my hubby that he should put on a kilt and serve it to me :)

    Ok, OK... taking your word. I'll go with the Highlander Grogg first, then the Packer Perk!

    See, now that is a much better mental image. A kilt-wearing man serving me steamy cups of Highlander Grogg. Yummy...
