Oh look, there goes my confused boner again. Hi C.B.!
Some days I can't drink one cup, some days I can drink eight, coffee and me have a weird relationship.
Coffee is fucking ambrosia, and all who argue otherwise are base heretics, to be cleansed in it's black depths.
Heretic I am.
I don't like the smell, don't like the taste, and honestly, life is too short to start drinking something that "You'll get used to the taste."
I like how coffee smells, but it tastes like something rotten.
Bring it.
The taste of coffee really is one of those things you need to have an open mind about in trying. It's bitter, and pretty much all bitter foods are going to be an acquired taste because we're conditioned to be sweet. But I like coffee for the same reason I like olives, it's a unique taste that stimulates senses that aren't touched by anything else.
I just vastly prefer cold drinks over hot.

I love coffee but I was drinking far too much of it so I gave it up a few years ago. It was so hard at first!
Bodum Chambord 8-cup French Press. I'm the only one in the house that drinks coffee, so I usually fill this one to half capacity. I didn't want to pay for a decent motorized grinder, so I have a cheapo conical ceramic burr hand-grinder.
But that is the perfect coffee set up.
I just make instant on Saturday mornings in a Pyrex 4 cup measuring cup.
Go to Amazon and enter this search (sans quotes): "Hand Coffee Grinder with Adjustable Conical Ceramic Burrs". You should see a bunch that look like mine (it's a generic chinese design, I'm guessing, that gets different labels and prices slapped on them). The specific listing I bought from is not available at the moment.
For the $20 I paid for it, I'm pretty happy with the results. Took a bit of fiddling to get the grind size right, but has rarely needed adjusted, and it's sturdy/consistent.
Depends how you do it. We never buy the pods, we only use the reusable cups and put any grounds in we want. So for us, it's not more expensive than any other type of coffee maker.
Compared to what I'll waste with coffee that will sit in the back of my fridge?
And I do try to buy on the cheap, TBH.[DOUBLEPOST=1486146540,1486146202][/DOUBLEPOST]
Only problem I've had with this is the filter I put inside the reusable cup. It gets hella messy.
Chocolate (or at least cocoa/dark chocolate before sweeteners) is also bitter, and is also an acquired taste.

Apparently Facebook is making "friends day" videos for people. And since my facebook account is a fake persona I made for when you have to register for contests and stuff with a facebook account, basically all my "facebook" friends are just halforumites.
So, as a result, my "friends day" video is just a "halforums" video.

I tried to find a grinder but I spelled it wrong. I did not get coffee.

And I'll form ... the head!
What, you skipped the date and went straight to fucking? *sigh* it's a shame I'm not gay; dating guys would be so easy.

I think just about every hetero guy out there is envious of the "hey nice shoes wanna fuck" simplicity of Grindr
I've heard the same thing said about Central Park.I think just about every hetero guy out there is envious of the "hey nice shoes wanna fuck" simplicity of Grindr

Only if you use their pods, cheaper options abound, and you can even use your own coffee if you want. It's what the wife has been using for years.

This is where I usually get my coffee. I like their selection and, on the occasion I feel inclined, I can even get Starbucks for less than $5 a bag.
Was everyone anime characters? If not, they should be.

I wish. It was their facebook avatars.
If I'd have known they were gonna do something like this, I might have tried to game it with fake accounts or something.
Also, I interpret the fact that you're asking to mean that you can't actually watch it. Hrmrmmm...
Ok, try to watch it now. I think I made it "public."
Also HOW ARE YOU NOT FRIENDS WITH BUZZY POMONA YET
Probably because it sounds like STI.
(Also, I haven't FB'd anyone on Halforums, probably to save you all from having to see my kid a lot. And though I don't post a lot, a good number of the things I do I end up sharing in here, too.)
