I like Kicking Horse Coffee brewed in Golden BC. I like the Kick A ss dark roast brewed in a French press with cream and sugar in the morning and afternoon. After 7pm, I cannot drink coffee if I want to sleep at night. In the evening I like a hot cup of organic beef broth. In the summer, I like an ice cold mocha frappe.

I love kicking horse coffee,i use the expresso blend,corporate office is Invermere,or I think so.
I pick up a few bags when I return home,price is right at Invermere.
I have my time frames in which I drink coffee,late afternoon is one of my favorites,or after supper if I go to the garden,

Been drinking Folgers most of my life. Regular blend. I like a little honey and half&half with it. I drink a couple cups of a morning and that's about it.

A couple home made blueberry muffins ain't bad with it.

Sometimes if I buy some at the QT I'll put some French vanilla and Irish cream in with no sugar.

what is your favorite coffee,
Mostly South American coffees from Peru, Honduras, Colombia, and Nicaragua, but I like some Sumatran and Nepalese coffees, too.
what kind of coffee maker do you have
My roaster is from Gene Cafe and the grinder is from Bodum as is the French press. I also use a Corningware percolator.
any techniques you use or add on to make that special cup of coffee.
French to Turkish roast. Sometimes I add a little dark chocolate to the brewer.
are you like me and have a favorite coffee mug?
Yes. A large Pyrex mug.
would you drink your coffee out of a mug made in china?
That depends.
do you drink your coffee cold?
eewww
what are your favorite times to have coffee.
I get up between 0500 and 0530, tend to my chickens while the coffee is brewing then have coffee from when I get back inside till a lateness of about 1100 hours.

what is your favorite after dinner coffee?
Non-existent.

We used to drink Kicking Horse 454 and Grizzly, but now roast our own beans.
Oso Negro is not too bad when we go out. Sometimes Starbucks will do in a pinch.

Oh no Folgers is top shelf they have other brands that cost half as much but the roach wings and rat shyt hasn't been strained completely out. Not bad in a pinch though you know on one of those count the change weeks.

Eight o'clock coffee. Black. Strong.
Kicking Horse is good too but for a habitual user it can be a little pricey.
Every morning two big mugs.
One after supper usually.
It's just a tasty drug for me.

unsweetened chocolate chips

spoonful of hazelnut coffee (instant)

1/2 T spoon of honey


add boiling water & mix


then top it off with large scoop of Cool Whip & cinnamon




A delightful addition to any afternoon! :)

Sorry gopher, but Maxwell House isn't coffee (more like floor sweepings from a saw mill) and Cool Whip is an edible petroleum byproduct.

I use to love a good hot cup of coffee made on a campfire on a river bank after a night of catfishing. Didn't matter what brand. As long as it was hot and took the morning chill off a little.

what is your favorite coffee,

Mayan Organic Medium Roast

what kind of coffee maker do you have
I have a drip but my favorite is a Stainless Steel French Press I bought from Epicure.

any techniques you use or add on to make that special cup of coffee.
I like my coffee strong so I always add an extra scoop beyond the suggested amount.

are you like me and have a favorite coffee mug?
I have a collection of mugs and cups that appealed to me for a variety of reasons. One of my favorites is a Royal Dalton china mug.

would you drink your coffee out of a mug made in china?
I'm not sure if you mean made in or made of ..........regardless the answer is yes to both.

do you drink your coffee cold?
Yes, any coffee left over in the morning is put in the fridge and later on I will make an iced coffee.


what is your favorite after dinner coffee?
That is when I most enjoy my French Press coffee.
