Coffee Finally

[BGKYSmoker]

After a few weeks of no coffee i finally got my order. Guess they felt bad and instead of my normal 2 bags they sent me a gift box.

YAY

 

[JLeonard]

Nice pack! Love me some coffee.

Wonderful now your wife will probably talk to you again. It takes me 2 cups in the morning before mine talks to me.

My wife only likes Amish brand coffee

 

[noboundaries]

Ahhhh...coffee. Nice score with the gift pak!

Looked up their website.

What is ariosa coffee? Arbuckles' Ariosa. Pronounced "AIR-ee-Oh-sa". This is a medium roast Central American blend, rich in flavor; balanced acidity with a faint note of smokiness and a subtle chocolate finish.

That coffee sounds PERFECT!

I'd have to be a POW to go a few weeks without coffee.

 

[MJB05615]

That looks and sounds like an interesting flavor.
I cannot go more than 15-20 minutes before coffee in the morning. When I get my 1 time a year physical, and I can't have coffee til it's over, I'm a wreck. Sometimes the appointment isn't until 1030am or later.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Guess like everything the shipping was slow with it.

Another thing not coffee related.

My wife rides her bike daily 10-12 miles. Yesterday i put the 3rd set of tires on her bike.
Looked at 6 of the local bike shops, Trek, Canondale, Electra (not electric), sun. No bikes for sale at all. Bikes are back ordered 9-18 weeks. The one lady at the trek store said there is a 90k back order on bikes globally. YIKES. I would rather have her fitted at a bike shop instead of internet order.

 

[MJB05615]

That is surprising. Given all of the other crazy stuff this year I'm not shocked. Makes some sense, more folks are home so more might be using bikes to exercise or just break up the monotony.

Rick, check this place out. don't know if they ship but they do a HUGE business in the Austin area. Indications are from the web site that they have a nice inventory.

Bummer. Only one of the stores is closed though. The one in Round Rock is still open based on the web site...but if they don't ship I guess it's meaningless.

Yeah, not surprising. Any outdoor related stuff is in short supply. ... bikes, boats, RVs ... Crazy, bit I love people are getting into this and hope it sticks ... their kids/grandkids will thank them

Sounds like you need a bedside coffee maker

I love coffee and have been drinking it for years. The last year or so it has really been disagreeing with my stomach and digestive system so I had to give it up.
Of all the vices (and there have been many) that I’ve given up coffee has certainly been the hardest.

she would have the Amish mafia out for me.

 

[BGKYSmoker]

Yeah JR i know

Hard to give up. For me after 30 year being a cigar smoker my wife and doc said you better stop. Been 2 years now but when i smell a good cigar i really want one.

My dad had that same problem, which warmed me it would be coming my way, too. He started adding milk, which countered the acid.

Strong black coffee, freshly roasted medium-dark to dark roast, was my morning joy. When the stomach issues hit me, I tried adding the milk. Didn't really notice any improvement. Tried cream. That helped, but still some issues. I tried full fat coconut milk instead of cream and found my solution. Now I'll mix about 50/50 coconut milk and whole milk. No stomach problems.

Food for thought.
