Sucky coffee alert CODE RED: Millstone Cinnamon Gingerbread Coffee

[NewWaveChick1981]

:puke: Make that Terror Alert Code Red... :yoiks: I usually buy Fair Trade coffee and still have some Gevalia Pumpkin Spice coffee (which is delicious!), but of course I couldn't resist buying what sounded like a yummy coffee. Man, was I disappointed. :( There is little to no taste of "cinnamon gingerbread", but what's supposed to pass for that flavor ends up tasting like soap. :cry: I'm not giving in to that impulse EVER AGAIN.

1. i had to take a very deep breath before responding...

what in the screaming hell were you thinking?

:wtf:

[NewWaveChick1981]

2. It was a fit of insanity...

:cry: Don't spank me, MrCoffee.... please....

On second thought, PLEASE spank me, MrCoffee.... :evilgrin:

[MrCoffee]

3. there's a good spanking, and there's a bad one...

which do you think this will be?

don't EVER buy the flavored "coffee". it is an abomination unto the lord, and anathema to thee.

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. I have a feeling it'll be the bad spanking...

:blush: But I was hoping for the good.

OK, I've learned my lesson. No more anathema. :)

4. I think flavored coffees are too strong

When I'm especially wealthy I buy the syrup and add the flavor. When I'm poor I do the flavored creamer. When I'm super poor, I do without the added flavor and go with canned milk and sugar. The only thing I will pay extra for is raw sugar. I simply can't go back to regular sugar - raw is so much tastier.

I would love to buy Fair Trade coffee but I just can't make myself pay that much. Not on a regular basis.

I wish all those righteous-type products were priced for poor people like me.

[MrCoffee]

6. oh. my. god.

i have no response at all to that.


:cry:

[blogslut]

10. I have a sweet tooth for only one thing

Coffee.

My mother drank it black-no sugar. The woman was retentive about her coffee. She could tell when it had sat on the store shelf for too long. I guess, by adding cream and sugar I'm being a rebel.

Believe me. I've had my share of fine coffees. I was yanking down espresso levers when most of today's hipsters were in diapers. I can froth milk like nobody's business.

5. Flavored coffee is the devil.

:puke:

[MrCoffee]

7. finally! a voice of sanity!

:yourock:

9. I like gingerbread. I like coffee.

I avoid anything that claims to combine the taste of the two.

As most people know, I love my pumpkin spice lattes and eggnog lattes from Starbucks, but the gingerbread latte is nothing less than vile.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

18. I like the gingerbread latte, but I get it made with only 1 pump.

It's not as sweet that way.

[NewWaveChick1981]

22. So....how is that different from flavored coffee?????

Yeah, it's espresso, but it's FLAVOR in COFFEE. :P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

28. It affects the integrity of the bean!

And a bean is worthless without it's integrity.

[NewWaveChick1981]

32. Yeah, it might lie to you or become a Repuke.

:rofl: :hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. What the fuck is wrong with you?

FLAVORED COFFEE?!?!?!?!

Jesus Christ, man, I don't think I could ever respect you again.

:rofl:

[MrCoffee]

12. see, i went ahead with the deep breath first.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. I did take a deep breath.

You should see me when I'm really riled up.

[MrCoffee]

19. i'd pay good money for that.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. It's quite a show.

I suggest settling in with a six-pack and a bucket of popcorn.

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. ...

:cry: You don't love me any more....

I thought you were more tolerant toward bi people and flavored-coffee drinkers... Guess I was wrong. :( Some people are just coffee fundies....

:P :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

21. Look, I'll accept your sexuality, but flavored-coffee?

That's just fucking sick.

And I prefer to think of myself as more of a purist than a fundie.

Bold fresh-ground beans and a French Press. The way God fucking intended.

[NewWaveChick1981]

27. You'll be happy to know my neighbor has the suckass flavored coffee now...

:rofl: But I'm still gonna drink my Pumpkin Spice coffee when I feel like it. So there. :P

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

30. Fine, but you still have no taste.

You probably drink Lipton tea.

:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

31. No, I don't drink tea except for herbal.

And then when I drink that, it's organic, usually either green tea or jasmine green tea. I don't like the taste of black tea or orange pekoe. :puke:

[blogslut]

51. I can't drink tea

It makes me :puke:. Literally. Even on an empty stomach. Even herbal teas. Sad, because I really like tea.

Anyone ever had popcorn tea?

[MrCoffee]

34. i read that shit about the Gingerbread Latte

i think of you as a flavored coffee drinker

[NewWaveChick1981]

35. See? I was right.

:hi:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

39. MrCoffee has been wrong in the past. He's wrong now.

[MrCoffee]

40. you can cast all the asparagus you want, flavored coffee drinker

we all know who's wrong here.

[NewWaveChick1981]

42. ...

:thumbsup: :applause: At least I admit I drink flavored coffees sometimes. :P

[MrCoffee]

43. admitting you have a problem is the first step...

denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[NewWaveChick1981]

44. ...

:rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. Fuck you all.

I'm blowing this popsicle stand and heading out to pick up sushi.

I know I'm right.

[NewWaveChick1981]

47. ...

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

48. Fine...

:hug:

[MrCoffee]

49. wait, i thought you were gonna fuck us all?

:cry:


:hi: :yourock:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

50. Yeah, I lied.

:hi:

:yourock:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. I have one maybe once a month.

Normally, I drink French Press coffee or espresso.

[MrCoffee]

41. oh, well, that makes it ok then.

:eyes:

[buddhamama]

13. you have committed a cardinal sin

flavored coffee is the work of the anti-coffee.

it's evil and will only lead you down the wrong path,

the next step will be flavored creamers. Repent!

[NewWaveChick1981]

20. OK, OK, I repented...

My next-door neighbor is now the owner of a mostly-full bag of flavored coffee. :P I only use skim milk and stevia in my coffee, so you can't spank me for flavored creamer. :rofl:

[buddhamama]

23. whew!

you are forgiven my child. :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. Thank you...

:hi:

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

14. Flavored Coffee?

:) Ummmmmmm I like the taste of the coffee, why do you flavor it all up? Arnound here we call it Swillstone........ :toast:

[NewWaveChick1981]

29. LOL... That's perfect!

:rofl: I usually stay far away from Swillstone, but for some stupid reason, it called my name at the grocery store.

[blogslut]

15. Well, since I'm a sinner

Here's a handy tip:

Don't buy a whole pound can of flavored coffee. Buy a pound of regular coffee and add one or two of those little sample packs of flavored coffee. It's cheaper and the taste is nice and subtle.

I am evil and proud. :)

[tigereye]

52. you are a smart woman!

with a cool name, too.


I like flavored coffee, but is usually is WAY too strong and WAY too sweet. I usually regret having bought it. However, the pumpkin spice kind was good, I forget which brand.

[blogslut]

53. Well, I am a sinner

Just beeeware. :)

[crim son]

25. I like flavored coffee too!

But I make it with half regular and half flavored beans. And no sugar. Go ahead, revile me.

[azmouse]

33. I tried the pumpkin spice coffee. It wasn't very good either.

On the other hand, the Millstone peppermint coffee is pretty good.

I'm one of the strange ones around here. I love flavored coffee! :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

36. I haven't had the Millstone pumpkin spice coffee.

I like the Gevalia one, but I'm on my last box of it. :)

[BarenakedLady]

37. I just use

the flavored creamer occasionally (like this time of the year). Mostly I just like my coffee straight up though.

[mikeytherat]

45. Freshly ground, robust, French press, black - always

Always.

54. Do you know how flavored coffee is made?

I found out after I toured a local coffee roaster's plant in Portland.

They take a kettle of fresh roasted coffee beans and doctor them with Stuff that comes out of a can that looks as if it belongs on the shelf of a gas station. In other words--petroleum products, I'm sure of it.

They'll probably find out that the stuff is carcinogenic, just like that other petroleum product, saccharine.

[yellowdogintexas]

55. Iflavored coffee....ugh. with only one exception: Cinnamon Roast

which has just been roasted with cinnamon and no added sugar or other junk.

That is some nice stuff, cinnamon and coffee were made for each other anyway.

I have been known to put a bit of cinnamon in the brew basket from time to time.

Since I do not care for sweet coffee none of the highly flavored brews appeal to me at all. blech
