Coffee

You mean Artificial Imitation Coffee-Flavoured Beverage Drank.

I'd prefer that to mortgaging my house to drink liquefied weasel poop. :vomit

It's supposed to be made from coffee beans that have been eaten and excreted by the Asian palm civet (a weasel-type animal). Fermentation occurs in the animals gut and the result is the richest, most expensive coffee in the world. The Vietnamese one is chemically simulated I believe, but is still incredibly lush. I paid the same for one coffee as I had the night before for dinner for two (including two beers).

I've always wanted to try that coffee out :hihi

Just a thought spook - the beer wasn't weasel *smile* was it?

Meh. 8 bucks. It was worth it.

To be fair all beer tastes good in a tropical setting.

Not really. The warm english ales are crap. Guiness is difficult as well.

Holiday or work spook?
Holiday mate. Just popped back into my beachfront bungalow after a swim and breakfast on the beach to check the cricket score. Might need to go for another swim. Unfortunately can't get the live stream outside Australia and doesn't look like the bar next door has it on the satellite either.

Oh well, back to paradise.

Garcon! Weasel coffee!

Enjoy you lucky bugger! :)
 
I've really gone off espresso-based coffee of late, the machine is gathering mothballs whilst the plunger gets a good work out. Has anyone had any experience with vacuum coffee makers?
 
The thing I can never come to grips with regarding coffee (of any kind) is how can something that smells so good taste so crap.

I just love the smell of coffee when I walk past a coffee shop, but not matter how hard I have tried, I cannot get a taste for it.

Saves me a fortune if nothing else.
 
Thought Id share a recipe with coffee lovers that I made up for my sons 15th birthday cake (hes discovered the joys of iced coffee)

Cheats Coffee Gelati (Ridiculously easy and ridiculously delicious)

Make a stiff brew of espresso coffee
Reduce the brew in a small pot down to a shot of thick black syrup
add the syrup to about a cup of thick cream and whisk

add the 'coffee cream' to 2 litres of softened vanilla icecream and beat

throw in a handful of roasted coffee beans (or even better, chocolate coated coffee beans) and mix

re-freeze

eat :eek:

Need a serviette to wipe the drool from my mouth.

TIgergollywaog,
I saw a real cool looking atomic, The Otto Little Guy, or something similar.
At $895 it's not cheap. But sh!t it looked good.

Where did you see that Michael?

Can get the genuin from Bon Trading for $495.

Actually just googled it and realised that it was a article about 3 years ago about the OTTO that made me want an Atomic. Can get the little guy for $689 at the moment.

The OttO has been an epic flop reflected by the RRP going from $800 to $600. It LOOKS superb with all the polished stainless but its basically an overengineered Atomic. I attended a demo and we all sat around for 15 minutes while it produced a stingy little 15ml shot of coffee. Maybe OK if you live on your own, have heaps of time and only want one short black in the morning. BUT, if you have busy mornings making kids lunches, fight with the senate over the extent of the meniscus on your morning flat white and like to top up and have half a second brew (a full one on saturdays when the senate sleeps in) , then the ATomic is Dustin Martin, the OTTO, Nick Daffy
