Can't go wrong with Folgers.

I have a coffee maker that isn't built with planned obsolescence (I have a feeling it will last forever). My coffee maker is a straight forward, simple, brew style doo-hicky. I buy cheap coffee filters and use precise measurements (cups and a special spoon designed for taking an exact amount of coffee grains per each cup), exactly as it instructs on the packaging. Remember, a cup is not the size of a mug or cup, it's an exact unit of measurement. The closer to perfect the measurements, the better the coffee.

I add about 1 tablespoon of sugar for each cup of coffee. Sometimes I add a douse of milk, and sometimes not, depends on my mood.

I take my coffee seriously. I have yet to taste coffee made better than me.

Start with Celestial Seasonings Good Earth herbal tea, then move into green tea or black tea with milk, then straight tea. I've found tea to be an acquired taste (one certainly worth acquiring) but it does take time to get there.
The other reason it might taste bitter is based on steeping time. It varies wildly depending on the blend, but don't steep green tea longer than 3 minutes at most, and black teas no longer than 5 minutes.

go to sites like adagio.com and just get loose leaf. pre-boiling water for greens and boiling water for blacks. on average, these are the best brewing parameters (one of the things that scares people away from whole-leaf):

There certainly is. Clipper, Twinings or Taylors all produce exellent teas. You'd have to go out of your way to find equivalent loose leaf (which of course exist, but not in a supermarket). The main problem with loose leaf is really consistency of product.

I dunno. The larger variables in tea making in most places are water quality/chemistry/temperature and similar atmospheric variables. Tea flavour as you know is often delicate, even more so than most water flavours.

This is starting to be removed from my own view on this though. I'm not so bothered about making great tea with the finest ingredients in the world, I'm more interested in what can be done with more standard ingredients. And in this sense the main difference between loose leaf and bag is size of particles/surface area and containment, and most simple techniques for evening out certain water variables (particularly aeration) are not possible, not as effective or not as easy with loose leaf because of this.

The best stuff: DuMaurier.

The last pack of ciggs I bought were players, I fucken hated them to death. A good way to quite smoking is to look at it from the point of view of climbing a mountain. When you gain an addition/habit, you reach a peak/plataeu. If you want to get "off', you can't quite cold turkey, you have to slowly and gradually climb down.

Reduce intake incrementally (not exponentially). It's a good and sure way of quitting anything. Players ciggs are horrible, and I suggest buying and smoking brands you don't like, or aren't your favourite, to help in the quitting process (because you reduce enjoyability in the habit that way).

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to buy a pack for a long long time (perhaps the rest of my life).

I have what could charitably be called a "basic model" drip coffee maker that my ex gf kicked me down when I broke my french press. I never took a head-to-head taste test, but I don't notice a difference. I have a budget model grinder. I'll grind a week's worth of beans on my day off and put them in the fridge. I buy whatever whole beans are the cheapest--AS LONG AS THEY ARE ARABICA--with preference for the darkest roast. So, I buy a lot of Kroger-brand Columbian, Kroger French Roast, and Eight-O'Clock. (Kroger=supermarket house brand=cheap) Spot of milk, except not now because I'm sick. This is all I require.

I used to work where there was an espresso machine, and oh man, did I get used to that quickly. used to PACK them grounds in that fuckin' thing. I had a particular way of making cappuccino that has never met it's match.

I also like tea sometimes. I found Taylors Scottish breakfast in a bargain bin recently, shit's pretty good.

also, wtf is with pic related?

"Coffee is" becomes "Coffee's." It's a legit contraction, so even his re-post makes no sense, right? But also, I was under the impression that we can't post the same pic multiple times anymore.

the contraction is still "coffee's hot". The difference in meaning will be contextual and easily picked up by a listener.

It's still apostrophe s for the contraction. Standard contractions require an apostrophe, but interesting point is that in transcription of dialects it's considered bad form to put in apostrophes (because you're making assumptions about whether the speaker is trying to speak the standard dialect or not). In this case there's no confusion over why the apostrophe is used. Compare:
>Coffee's for closers
>Coffee's foreclosures
Foreclosure is a noun, and so can be possessed. Confusion arises with something like:
>Coffee's foreclosure
Is it the foreclosure of coffee or that coffee is foreclosure? I guess we'll never know.

I love "cowboy coffee". Just boil the coffee grinds straight in the water, and when the water boils, simmer the coffee for around ten minutes or so. It's also pretty easy to control how strong or weak you want to make your coffee, varying the amount of water, the intensity of the fire and the amount of coffee you put in, after a little practice.
