Tuesday, June 27love i am so into this breakfast blend decaf from the co op. it's so yum. have i said this before? the taste makes me think of the kind of coffee i might drink on vacation - in the summer. it should therefore be subtitled, 'summer blend'. combo this morning i combined 'cafe nica' with 'cafe peru' - both are french roasts. it was smokin'. why did i do this? because there were small quantities remaining of both and i was in a consolidating kind of mood. freezer space must be released and re-assigned in the summer months to nuts and rice, after all.

Wednesday, April 26a first iced coffee season is here, i think. this is the first iced coffee season of decaffeinated coffee. and this strange decaf-teechino mixture. on ice, it is very good. coffee is still very important to me, and i wonder if i am kidding myself when i think about not drinking it at all. for example, in the morning when i witness others drinking such beverages as peppermint tea or any other kind of tea for that matter (even black), i feel sad.

Friday, April 21conscience i shouldn't. i shouldn't have any more coffee today, even if it is only decaf. if i'm good i may have some for dessert. but i don't know how good i'm going to be. Labels: coffee 4:01 PM
Thursday, April 20sad it's sad that i made a french press pot of decaf and that there is only a tiny bit left, and that it is tepid. but i will drink it anyway. change of season had my first iced coffee beverage from starbucks yesterday. this year it is decaffeinated. iced decaf doppio in a grande cup. insert milk. enjoy.

Tuesday, March 14vacuum pot in another life, someone convinvced me that the following method of coffee production is superior to all others. vacuum technology is simple and old and creates a longing in me to own such a device. it also makes me want to have my own bean-roaster. i am clear, however, that this would never be tolerated.

Thursday, March 9the latest it's time to make a batch of my latest form of coffee. this consists of decaffeinated french roast and "teecchino" - a natural, non-caffeinated beverage that has potassium, chicory, barley, other things that are good for you and does not have dry cleaning chemicals in it, like so many decaffeinated beverages tend to have. i discovered this beverage in the "fat flush plan" book by louise whatsername, and it's actually pretty good. why? caffeine, as it turns out, is very bad for my personality. the less i drink, the more insane i become when i drink even small amounts. it doesn't feel good. is this insane? is this wrong? i still enjoy my full-strength coffee in the morning, but after that, i have to avoid caffeine. this is the solution. even cups of decaffeinated coffee set off the negative caf-effects. what can be done?

Tuesday, January 17memories of israel at a recent get-together thrown by a nice family in my synagogue, there was a can of elite coffee. the last time i had it was in 2000 when i was in israel. i loved that coffee. it reminds me of staying in the nice hotel in ramat gan for a month. going to the gym and looking out at the sky first thing in the morning. then eating israeli breakfast in the dining room. and skipping over to work with my laptop on my shoulder and no socks on in some snappy ass outfit. i should apologize for liking instant coffee, and i have done so repeatedly in the past. but this coffee is truly great. if you can help me get a can, i will be grateful and will bless you.
