Mmmmm coffee

I love coffee. Beer is nice, but coffee rules.

Sometimes I go to sleep at night, thinking about how wonderful the first cup of the next day is going to taste.

The blog is about messengers - not coffee. And most of the posts are 300 words and over.

If you can't tell the difference between the nonsense that I post on this and other forums, and the altogether far more coherent cogitations that can be found on my blog, then you need a nice cup of coffee.

i had a coffee hangover a couple of weeks ago after a wedding.
took it easy as it was an all dayer and i'm not much of a drinker. stuck to the fizz to avoid any hangovers and drank loads of water in between. also had a couple of espressos and a couple of cappuccinos in the afternoon/evening instead of booze. had an espresso martini before i left.
got home stone cold sober but didn't sleep for about 4 hours, was sweating and had heart rate of 100 and saw coloured lights when i closed my eyes.
when i got to work i couldn't decide if i was going to pass-out, puke up or shit myself.
needed a couple of neurofen to sort myself out
next time i'm just going to get pissed.

COFFEE IS A DRUG be careful.

I can honestly said it's the finest coffee ever;

Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee, and luwak is a local name of the Asian Palm Civet. The raw, red coffee berries are part of its normal diet, along with insects, small mammals, small reptiles, eggs and nestlings of birds, and other fruit. The inner bean of the berry is not digested, but it has been proposed that enzymes in the stomach of the civet add to the coffee's flavor by breaking down the proteins that give coffee its bitter taste. The beans are defecated still covered in some inner layers of the berry. The beans are washed, and given only a light roast so as to not destroy the complex flavors that develop through the process. Some sources claim that the beans may be regurgitated instead of defecated.

Apparenty it's either end, vomited or shitted (much like some of you after a hard night in Jon Snow).

Doesn't change my opinion that it's undoubtly the best coffee in the world.

Off the top of my head:
Kopi Luak or Civet coffee is coffee made from berries that have been eaten by and passed through the digestive treact of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus).
The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in Indonesia, in The Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku).
Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been defecated by local weasels. In actuality the "weasel" is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet.

I drank too much coffee last night - it was too nice I had the whole stove top to myself.

Usually I add a little milk to take the bitterness off coffee - the Monmouth stuff is so good, it tastes beautiful black.

BTW there is another thread for this type of nonsense.

It is strong strong stuff. When I came in off the road, I stayed on my messenger coffee regime of 8 - 10 cups of espresso strength. And couldn't work out why was I foaming at the mouth, ranting and breaking office furniture in the afternoon.

I'm a big fan of Moroccan argon oil.....

oil is made from the fruit of an argon tree....BUT the fruits are eaten by goats and the kernels pass through the digestive system and pooped out ......the oil is made from these kernels. It really is delicious.
