October 1st: international COFFEE day.

I like my coffee black. No other way to start the day.


But being sedentary and lazy in general made me gain weight.
So I am considering green coffee to see if it really has serious effects.

I remember the happy childhood days at my grandparents when I was drinking Nesquick with my cousins.

Believe me, almost 20 years of being picked on because of it...I'm fully aware that I'm not within Navy standards haha.

 

Have you tried this, @furryfrog02 ? It’s not bad.

 

I have not but the vanilla seems promising.

 

Awesome coins, @TIF — great to see you posting!

It’s been a brutal eighteen months!

 

October already?!

We should be hearing Mariah Carey any time now.

 

The U.S. recently issued postage stamps with images of coffee drinks .

 

I like Peet's here at home in the U.S. In Egypt my favorite is ahwa mas bout, a Turkish coffee you can order in the cafes along with puffing on a shisha pipe which is very relaxing. Favorite cafes include Dokhis in Cairo and the cafe across from the train station in Luxor.



Here is an Egyptian coin of Hadrian...Alexandria. Admittedly I only found one decent cafe in Alexandria with a view of Qeit Bey, the Ottoman fortress built from the blocks of the famed Pharos.

 

Love espresso but I'm having to curb it for health reasons.

I like my coffee hot. If it cools down I warm it, if it gets cold I will not finish the cup. To each their own, right.

 

First, I enjoyed all the ancient coins! For those of us who are somewhat caffeine intolerant, my choice is San Francisco Bay French Roast pods. Both regular and decaf so I mix them to create a delicious cup of iced coffee that is only half caffeinated. By the way, I can't stand hot coffee, but love iced coffee (without ice, just super cold). And Starbucks is way too expensive and they don't even have decaf iced coffee! Favorite bought iced coffee is Dunkin Donuts decaf. IMHO

 

Here's a nice light latte.

 

I'm a Dunkin Donuts coffee fan myself. I have to add that THE BEST coffee mug out there is the Ember coffee mug. I can enjoy the same cup of coffee for a really long time without it cooling off, (if you're a chugger, ya don't need it). It's expensive for a mug but omg it's worth it. It just sits on a charging base when not in use.

 

I buy the DD K-cups for my wife. She says they are very close to the real deal.

 

Does this image of mine help in identification?

Indonesia, Java, Kingdom Majopahit, ca. 1200 - 1500 AD. Silver; 13 mm, 1.83 gm. NIS 3065-3068 (I am not certain about this reference. I do not have it). Also I am not certain of obverse and reverse selection and orientation.
