What's the best cup of coffee you ever had (including espresso)? What were the circumstances?

There were two. One was a cup of espresso at the most unlikely place I can imagine. Traveling through Oregon, two-lane highway, kiosk in out-of-the-way mall, desperate for coffee.

Absolute total surprise at a perfect cup of espresso--fresh tasting, lots of body, no hint of rancid or old beans, and the lemon rind was as fragrant and fresh as you could want.My husband and I agreed that this was the unlikely, unexpected pinnacle of our coffee experience. The other one was an espresso, too. It was at a little Italian restaurant near home--wonderful.

Not as good as the kiosk, but very good nonetheless. Of course, the restaurant went out of business as soon as we discovered it! Asked by CALGal 54 months ago Similar questions: cup coffee including espresso circumstances Food & Drink > Food.

Similar questions: cup coffee including espresso circumstances.

This may appear to be a bit odd... ...but, my answers usually come across that way. LOL To answer your question....the best cup of coffee I ever had was when my ex-husband flew in from Ohio, for a visit, and brought along a bag of Gevalia’s Breakfast Blend. Anyway...he made a pot of it and asked me to try some, even though he knew that I only drank tea and Pepsi.

But, after just one sip I was hooked. He has since sent me other flavors to try, but I only like the Breakfast Blend...and I order it as soon as it begins to run low. Sources: my ex-husband Seasons's Recommendations Breakfast Blend Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 (based on 2 reviews) .

Some of my favorites Plain Coffee - Boston Beer works used to serve coffee with Chicory in it. Added a nice spicy-ness to it, but not too much! Hot Coffee Drink - Rome Italy.

We were staying at a hotel out by the airport (outside of Rome), and taking a bus into the city. The bus dropped us off at the Teatro Marcelo. We would stop at the first coffee shop we came to and get two cappuccinos for about $2 (this was during the Lira days).

The guy made the BEST cappuccinos and would put a different de.

The one you have when you're absolutely exhausted Italy is famed as the home of espresso, and the only cup of coffee I had on my whirlwind tour of Milan was the best coffee I ever had. But I think the fact that I'd been awake for nearly 48 hours straight may have had something to do with it. In Europe, "coffee" almost always means "espresso".

They drink it with a fair bit of sugar, but I prefer it black. And it's everything you want coffee to be: dark, mysterious, rich, and very complex. It's coffee to be drunk slowly, with friends, not slurped at your desk or in your car.(The gas stations in Europe often sell coffee in ceramic cups, not paper, to be drunk and appreciated like a civilized person.) Most places (except hotels expecting a lot of Americans) will serve you "cafe Americain", which espresso watered down to the strength of American coffee.

It's actually not bad and (for the most part) not looked down on. Think of it more like scotch-and-water, the taste diluted so you can appreciate it better. Let me also put in a plug the Vladimir's Special Coffee at a tiny Czech restaurant in Inverness, California.

It's got this much coffee and thiiiiiiiiiiiiis much of some very dangerous liqueur. Again, I was traveling and jetlagged and boy did it hit me like a ton of feather pillows..

Home I got up at 3 AM to go to work (I own a catering biz) and we were too busy to have coffee.....when I got home at 9 AM, (toting homemade rugulah), my partner had made two cups of hazelnut coffee (Green Mountain, I believe) and had them waiting in thermal mugs on our little deck overlooking our little yard. It was a beautiful day day, we were both getting ready to go to a wedding that he was officiating, and the little time out was wonderful coffee experience.

1 ThoughtMonkey, regarding your answer "Some of my favorites": I forgot about coffee with chicory! In New Orleans, café au lait is strong, dark roast coffee and chicory, served with an equal part of hot milk. In the early history of Louisiana, chicory was added to coffee to stretch dwindling supplies.It was found that, in addition to stretching supplies, the chicory also created a smoother, richer brew.

The addition of hot milk to strong coffee and chicory created one of the oldest and greatest coffee traditions in the world. Cafe au lait is often served with beignets, another New Orleans specialty--fried, raised pieces of yeast dough. After being fried, they are sprinkled with powdered sugar or coated with various icings.

Some of us have been known to make a complete meal of cafe au lait and beignets.

Coffee drinkers. Does anyone actually taste the first cup in the morning?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
