congrats, you’ve just invented Starbucks.

Exactly how I like my coffee.

That’s not coffee anymore, it’s a liquid twinkie

I’m the only one in the family that drinks coffee. The rest get “coffee” drinks. I call them sugar syrup.

Not without gramma’s Lee press on nails, and a pinky stickin’ out !!!

A few years ago I read about ‘chocolate covered espresso beans’ in a science fiction story. I thought it was a craazy invention from the writer’s fevered imagination. Turned out to be a real thing. I then found out that it’s possible to overdose on them. A medical student brought a pound to snack on during finals, and had to be taken to the ER.

Kids used to think smoking cigarettes made them look grown-up and sophisticated. Now kids know it just makes them look stupid and craving lung cancer.

Postum

Irish Coffee——an Andy Capp special

My wife makes it taste like melted coffee ice cream.

“Affecting me? Why, no…”

All the additives cancel out the benefits of coffee. Now it is a heart attack and diabetes just waiting to happen.

Sounds like she went to starbuck’s

Drinking it with her pinky extended adds to the sophistication

That sounds like an order I used to fill when I worked in the drive through coffee hut across the street from a methadone clinic.

Sounds like one of Starbuck’s milkshakes. Except the coffee in hers is almost certainly better than theirs.

I don’t think that Trout is going to give it a try. :)

Nope. I still wouldn’t drink it.

Ya got anything in beer flavor? :)

we’d stopped in a coffee shop for some irish coffee. when my buddy inquired why there was no whipped cream in the irish coffee, the snooty waiter told him, disdainfully, that would dirty the glass. my buddy quickly replied with a chuckle, go ahead, dirty it up…

Add milk is better.

It’s a trope (which I’ve seen play out in real life) that the appreciation of coffee is preceded by “Coffee with lots of sugar and cream.” That’s fine. That’s natural.

I got seriously into coffee in college, when I needed it; “Liking it” wasn’t the point. (Now I like it, with a little cream and sugar, but I still want to taste “strong coffee.”)
